How To Set Up E-commerce Tracking In Google Analytics 4

If you enable e-commerce tracking in Google Analytics 4 (GA4), you will set the best customization for your tracking. E-commerce interactions are the activities like viewing a product in detail, clicking on a product, adding it to the cart and making purchases. These are the things that customers usually do when they visit the store. 

Follow the below steps to set these data or interactions to be available to GA4-

Step 1: Get A Data Layer

First, go to your demo site, which uses Google Tag Manager to track transactions, page views, and other actions. So you have to start by purchasing a product on your demo store.

Follow the below steps-

1. Select a product and then add it to the cart.
2. Next, view the cart.
3. Then, click on check out.
4.Next, it will ask for your contact information
5. Then enter the shipping address and click on “continue to shipping.”
6.Click on the 'Continue To Payment' option.
7. Enter your payment details and click on “Pay now.”

After you process the purchase, go to the configuration page to search for the data layer. To get the data layer, follow the below steps-

  1. First, view the source code.
  2. Then search for ‘datalayer.’

After that, you can see the data layer of the transaction you made earlier. The data layer includes the details of your transaction.

Step 2: Configure Google Tag Manager

To send the purchase or transaction details to GA4, the next step is to configure Google Tag Manager. To configure Google Tag Manager, follow the below steps-

  1. First, head to Google Tag Manager.
  2. Then, select ‘Tags.’

After you select “Tags,” you will see a GA4 Configuration tag in Google Tag Manager. This tag automatically sends page views and other events to GA4.

  1. Next, add another tag to send purchase details to GA4. So, click on the option “New.” 
  2. Name the tag ‘Google Analytics I GA4 I E-commerce.
  3. Then,  select ‘Tag Configuration.’
  4. For the tag type, choose ‘GA4 Event.
  5. Use the drop-down to select your existing GA4 configuration tag.

Step 3: Create an Event

There are a few ways to approach your e-commerce tracking. For example, you can create each event separately in Google Tag Manager to send the final transaction details to GA4.

However, another option is to use a variable that automatically passes the e-commerce action type to your event tag. You can use a single tag to send ‘add to cart, ‘purchase,’ and other e-commerce events to GA4. Now, to use this method, follow these steps-

  1. Click the variable icon under ‘Event Name.’

  2. Next, Choose ‘Event. 

  3. Click on ‘More Settings.

  4. Enable the ‘Send E-commerce Data’ option and then leave ‘Data Layer’ selected.

 

 

This setting will automatically capture the e-commerce details from the data layer and send them with our event to GA4.

Step 4: Add Trigger To Your Tag

To add trigger to your tag, follow the below steps- 

  1. First, select ‘Triggering.’ 
  2. Click on the blue plus sign in the top right corner.
  3. Name the trigger ‘GA4 E-commerce events.
  4. Next, click on the ‘Trigger Configuration.’
  5. Scroll down and click on the ‘Custom Event’ as the trigger type.
  6. Next, enter the data layer event names that you want to use to fire your tag.

You will get a list of e-commerce events recommendations from Google so that you can enter them all in the box. After you enter them in the box, you will notice an underscore separates each one.

However, if you do not need all the recommended events and only want to trigger your GA4 event tag for some of these events, you can adjust them. After you adjust the events, save the tag.

Step 5: Preview Your New GA4 Tag

Follow the below steps to preview your new GA4 Tag-

  1. Click on the ‘Preview.
  2. Enter the URL of your store and then click on “Connect.”
  3. Next, you can see Tag Assistant has loaded so that you can add another item to your cart. 
  4. Enter your details again.
  5. Click on the ‘Continue To Shipping.
  6. Then, enter your payment details and click on “ Pay now.”
  7. You will be on the configuration page after processing the purchase.
