Google/Bing indexing for search engines

[David1927]

Hi,

I've had a Square ecommerce site for about 6 months, I have spent some time building this with products, all looks great and stock connects with my physical shop which is perfect. 

However....

I've done the Google/Bing site verification, submitted sitemaps all fine, but Google Search console is giving my hundreds of "Duplicate, Google chose different canonical than user" errors for pages which aren't even close to being duplicates of each other.  Meaning these pages are not indexed and therefore cannot be served on Google search.  Google's recommended fixes are not possible through square online

Bing is a completely different matter, can see sitemap, can test URLs but None are indexing for bing search

Does anybody have any experience, or can point me towards a fix?

Square support were not helpful, just said there nothing wrong with the website and contact Google/Bing

Thanks in advance

Hope this helps!
