Hi Team,
I hope you're all doing well!
A few years ago, I worked with Shopify. To the best of my knowledge (going back around 10 years), there was no need for Google Tag Manager (GTM) for my online store.
Since then, I've been working a lot with WordPress websites, where GTM is quite straightforward to implement.
My question is: is having Google Tag Manager a necessity for a Shopify site nowadays?
Looking forward to your insights!
I have a bit of a frankenstein situation with my shopify store. I integrated Google / GA4 into my shopify using the sales channel.
I also have several snippets of Google code I had to install on my checkout page and theme.liquid file for enhanced conversions, Google ads remarketing, and Google reviews. These snippets are causing some duplicate events as well as slowing down page speed.
To fix, I'm thinking that integrating all code into a GTM tag is the correct route. Is this correct? If anyone has any resources they could point me to, I'd really appreciate it!
Our marketing guy is having some difficulties implementing google tag manager into our shopify site. He specifically noted he is unable to locate the 'checkout.liquid' page. Can anyone help? Thanks!
You can do it in the GA code block now in the online store preferences. They updated the box since GA started its implementation using tag manager instead of the original analytics code
It is totally possible, but if it is installed incorrectly it will totally mess up your GA data. If you are unsure how to do it or your marketing guy is unsure then hire someone on fiver to do it. Do not go for the $5 guy but look for someone that is doing it for 20-50 and also has a job history doing shopify fixes and google analytics related issues. I used someone on their to resolve all of my issues after I went with a super cheap guy.
