 * The plugin will not link to my google account and I just get a message saying“**
   Error: Internal Server Error**” “checking requirements failed” then the only 
   option is to return to site.

 * [@coltrichardson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coltrichardson/) I can 
   see from the Site Health you have shared that you have several plugins active
   on your site. Could you please try running through the troubleshooting steps 
   [here](https://sitekit.withgoogle.com/documentation/troubleshooting/using-troubleshooting-mode/)
   and confirm if you still face the issue when in troubleshooting mode.

 * I have the same issue in troubleshooting mode. I switched themes to test as well
   and it did not resolve.

   could you share a recording of what’s happening which will help me to see exactly
   when this happens. You can use a service such as [Loom](https://loom.com) to 
   record and share the URL here.

 * Adam, I don’t have any screen recording installed and do not have time to do 
   that right now. This is the series of events:
 * Set up Site Kit -> Sign in with google -> select account -> Allow permissions(
   I gave all) -> Continue -> error: internal server error.

 * [@coltrichardson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coltrichardson/) No problem
   at all and thanks for sharing the steps taken. Could you confirm if you encounter
   the same from an [incognito window](https://imgur.com/ALzgiHp)?
 * Do you have another Google account that you can test this with to see if you 
   get the same result?
 * Can I also ask you to try going to [this URL](https://tastewp.com/create/NMS/7.4/6.1.1/google-site-kit/twentytwenty?ni=true&redirect=admin.php%3Fpage%3Dgooglesitekit-splash)
   which will create a disposable WordPress site. Please confirm if you encounter
   the same issue with selecting your account on this site when going through Site
   Kit setup.

 * Same result on each of those. I did not try a different Google account because
   I only have 1 for work.

 * [@coltrichardson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coltrichardson/) When attempting
   to set up do you reach the section where Site Kit wants additional access to 
   your Google account? If you do, can you check that all are being accepted and
   share a screenshot of this?
 * Do you have any other issues when using the same Google account on the platforms
   themselves such as your [Analytics account](https://analytics.google.com/)?

 * I am giving it all permissions. Currently I am just using the merchant center.
 * The only reason I put this on the site is because the data I am seeing in my 
   merchant center account is entirely wrong and I was hoping that this would fix
   that. Example: It lists my average delivery at 19 days when in reality it is 
   4 days.
 * Do I have to make a bunch of accounts for this to work? Why don’t all of these
   google tools link to 1 google account?

 * [@coltrichardson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coltrichardson/) Thanks
   for your continued cooperation with this and thank you for your patience while
   we troubleshoot. Could I please ask your current location? The reason I ask this
   is that some locations can be blocked for reasons outside of our control so let’s
   rule this out.
 * Can I also ask when you tested on the disposable WordPress site, did you see 
   the same error 500 console error you shared above? And does this happen at the
   same point as on your own site? If you are unsure you can use that same link 
   once more to spin up a new site to test this on.

 * Virginia, same error. This is a really long and time consuming process for this
   plugin to have not worked at any point. I can’t keep wasting time on this if 
   we do not make any progress soon.

 * [@coltrichardson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coltrichardson/) We do 
   appreciate your time here and appreciate your frustration. At this stage I would
   like to discuss this further internally with the team and perform some tests 
   on our side. If you do get a moment at any stage it would be greatly helpful 
   if you could share a recording of this in action.
 * One other thing I wanted to check with you is that you mentioned above that you
   were looking to check your Merchant Center data. Were you looking to do this 
   from the Site Kit plugin? If so then this will not be possible as Site Kit does
   not at this time connect with Merchant Center.
 * If you are still looking to use the plugin then as mentioned I will perform further
   tests on my side and update you as soon as possible.
