r/GoogleTagManager on Reddit: Proper way to install GA4 & GTM in Shopify
June 16, 2023 -

Pretty much the title and super beginner here. I have no programming background, and the place I work (a small online store) is attempting to set up tracking properly. Unfortunately, we have already made several incomplete attempts before across multiple years, and find ourselves now in a state where we:

  1. already installed GA4 through Shopify (simply by pasting our Measurement ID)

  2. installed GTM directly in the <head> and <body> of our website

  3. also installed an app called Elevar (also through Shopify) and installed some of their pre-built tags in our tag manager. (We thought this would let us skip all the hard work and get all the essential data in a few clicks, but its not worth it for someone like us whos clueless)

We now realize that we need to start from scratch and properly learn from step one, but I am also concerned that removing anything will stop GA4 from collecting some data that we already have (such as purchases, adding items to the cart, etc. ) How shall i approach this?

The first question you should always ask is, what is our goal, and what are the questions you'd like to answer with GA4? I would suspect your goal at first is just tracking purchases in GA4 to get started? If you connected GA4 to Shopify using their app, and you added GTM to the you should be in an ok place. The default Shopify GA4 integration does not include some ecommerce events, but most. You can also fully build out GA4 integration through GTM for Shopify, but if you and your team are new to this I'd just use Shopify's integration which is sounds like you are. Second, if you want to track other types of conversions in the future it can be worth adding GTM code to the thank you page with a custom event to fire to GTM. For example, if you're running the Reddit pixel. But, I would cross that bridge when I come to it. Third, if you are running GTM and Shopify's native GA4 integration, you'd want to make sure you're also not firing GA4 through GTM. In other words, use GTM for any type of custom events, other ad pixels, etc... but don't fire a page view on your shopify site. Also keep in mind that GA4 is JavaScript based and therefore is affected by ad blockers. So, do not expect your GA4 stats to match your sales in Shopify. They will be 20% or so lower (depending on industry). I would not worry about this, as the purpose of GA4 is for trend spotting, determining return on ad spend (ROAS), figuring out highest convert traffic sources, and more, but it's NOT for sales reporting. I see a lot of posts / comments from people who think their GA4 integration is "broken" b/c it's not reporting 100% of their purchases. That's not the case. Good luck!
