Face to face with the new generation: Google Analytics 4.

Google Analytics 4 is a new type of property which includes different reports than the ones Google has gotten us used to with Universal Analytics. Google Analytics 4 can be used for Websites, Apps or both at the same time, whereas Universal Analytics can only be used for Websites. In this day and age, information is key to pretty much everything, which means that keeping your existing Universal Analytics Property and setting up a new GA4-based property to run in parallel can elevate your information game to new heights and assure you make the most informed, data-driven decisions when steering your store into the future.

Our extension helps open up this new platform to Magento 2 with an integration that's easy to set up and deploy. It brings the powerful functionality and ease of use of our popular Google Analytics Enhanced eCommerce UA GTM Tracking extension to the GA4 platform so you can get ready for stepping into the future.

Google Analytics Measurement Protocol (Pro Version Only)

With Google Analytics 4 PRO, you can keep track of every customer's journey from beginning to end. Combine server-side and client-side monitoring to follow the complete consumer journey. Sales, marketing, customer, and product performance data as well as recurring orders and refunds are all available.

Works with GA4
100% accurate sales data, including refunds and repeat purchases
Compatible with headless setups and multi-stores

How it works

All of your store pages will have the tracking script added by Client Side Tracking. The client ID from Google ensures that the user source and journey are tracked.

We then combine client-side (browser) tracking with measurement protocol server-side tracking to link marketing channels, web surfing behavior, and purchase behavior.

All server-side Measurement protocol tracking events are then sent to GA4. This means that every time a user activates one of your website's functions, an event is sent to Google Analytics, ensuring complete accuracy.

Major advantages:

Event capture for the checkout process, including sales and refunds/returns, is completed.
When the user does not wait for the thank you page to load, we will still track their orders.
When a user reloads, the site avoids double-tracking of the order status page.

I Already have Universal Analytics, why do I need GA4 as well?

Event tracking from the get-go!

Right out of the box, Universal Analytics only allows for tracking page-views. While this is already great information to build upon, it's not necessarily enough for a store in the modern age. With GA4, there is more information available without needing to delve deeper into its settings.
Enhanced Measurement collects important data such as scrolling, clicks, downloads, engagements with videos on your website and more. While this is definitely possible with Universal Analytics as well, GA4 does this without the need for intervention!

Next-level retargeting!

Most websites have a conversion rate of around 2% on the first visit. Retargeting exists for the remainder 98% of users and can spell the difference between a user never visiting your website again and securing a conversion. In most cases, however, once a conversion is secured, you may not want to immediately keep targeting the user with ads. Prior to GA4, retargeting, while still extremely efficient, lacked the dynamism of being able to exclude certain users (either temporarily or permanently) from being retargeted. GA4 changes this and allows you to more efficiently use retargeting to, for example, temporarily exclude users that have recently purchased an item from being shown a particular ad again until they're eligible for a new set.

Redfining time-based events.

Universal Analytics provides great insight into time spent on pages and sessions, however, the insight can be lacking out of the box when it comes to more specific actions users take on your website, such as watching your neat presentation video. GA4 takes this one step further and allows you to set up time measurements for defined actions or sets of actions through its "Elapsed Time" functionality. This way, you can determine how long it takes a user to watch your video, browse the Category Page and finally complete the Checkout Process.

Bringing Web and Mobile together!

With the advanced capabilities of Google Analytics 4's Data Streams functionality, you can now centralize all your channels under one property, by setting up Data Streams for each one. This means that, if you have a website and mobile app, for example, you have access to the insights from both under the same Google Analytics property, which will allow you to better piece together and analyze a user's journey across your store, whichever device they choose to use in order to make it.

HOW TO CONFIGURE GOOGLE ANALYTICS 4 (GA4) WITH GTM SUPPORT.

Step 1.

a. Go to Admin > Store > Configuration > Sales > Google API > Google Analytics > and set this option to [ No ].
b. Go to Admin > Store > Configuration > Sales > Google API > Google Adwords > and set this option to [ No ].
c. Go to WeltPixel > Google Analytics 4 Ecommerce > General Configuration > Enable GA4 and set this option to [ Yes ].

Step 2.

You need to create a Google Tag Manager account if you don’t have one already at this link: Google Tag Manager
Set up the Account name and the container in your Google Tag Manager account like in the image.

Step 3. HOW TO SET UP GOOGLE ANALYTICS 4 IN MAGENTO 2.

Once the account is created get the Google Tag Manager (GTM) scripts in admin section of your Magento 2 store WeltPixel > Google Analytics 4 Ecommerce > General Configuration.
You need also to get the code for the "<body>" section.

Note: If you already have a Google Tag Manager (GTM) account you can find the script in you Google Tag Manager account in Admin section, as seen in the screenshot.

Go to WeltPixel > Google Analytics 4 Ecommerce > General Configuration > Google Tag Manager Javascript Code and paste the code for "<head>" section in your magento store.
Then go to WeltPixel > Google Analytics 4 Ecommerce > General Configuration > Google Tag Manager Non-Js Code and paste the code for "<body>" section in your magento store.

Step 4. HOW TO ADD GOOGLE TAG MANAGER AND GOOGLE ANALYTICS 4 TO MAGENTO 2.

In Magento admin configure your Google Tag Manager (GTM) API Credentials in order to link your store with your GTM account and generate the default Tags, Triggers and Variables.
For this you need to go to WeltPixel > Google Analytics 4 Ecommerce > GTM API Configuration and fill in the Account ID, Container ID and Measurenent ID fields. All this information can be found in your Google Tag Manager and Google Analytics accounts.
a) Go to Google Tag Manager (GTM) Identify the IDs in your GTM account like in the picture.

b) Go to Google Analytics (GA) You can see how to get your Measurement ID from your Google Analytics account.
The Measurement ID is available under GA account > Admin > Data Streams > *Select your Stream* > Measurement ID as you can see in the picture.
Head back into your Magento Admin section and paste the Account ID, Container ID and Measurement ID into the GTM API Configuration section.
Save the configuration.

Step 5

The Tag, Trigger and variable generation works via a JSON generation process. The JSON is generated in Magento based on your settings, after which it's imported into Google Tag Manager.

Note: After making any extension configuration changes, remember to re-generate the JSON and re-import and overwrite the existing GTM container to ensure your settings are picked up by Google.

Generate JSON.

Go to WeltPixel > Google Analytics 4 Ecommerce > JSON Export Options , fill in your Public ID (it can be found in your GTM account) and hit the Generate Json for Variables, Triggers and Tags button.

You will be notified that the JSON has been generated successfully and a Download JSON button will appear. Click the button to download the generated JSON.

Tag Manager Admin.

Go to your Google Tag Manager Dashboard and access the Admin section and choose Import Container

Import JSON.

Click on the Choose container file button and find your previously generated and downloaded JSON file. Then, choose a workspace (you can choose an existing workspace or create a new one) and an import option.

When importing your container, you will have the option to merge the imported content with the selected workspace, or overwrite the workspace entirely. Overwriting the selected workspace will remove all your existing tags, triggers and variables in that workspace, and will replace them with the imported container.

Preview and Confirm.

After importing the generated JSON, a preview will show up letting you know the number of changes made to the container. There should be Tags, Triggers and Variables created or updated in various amounts depending on your Magento Admin settings. Click on Confirm and you should be done with importing your settings!

Step 6.

After all your tags have been created in Google Tag Manager (GTM), go to Google Tag Manager (GTM) account and PUBLISH / SUBMIT all your tags by following the steps from Google Tag Manager.
! NOTE: If the container is not published/submitted in your GTM account, no tracking will be available. Make sure to publish your container.
!! NOTE 2: Displaying statistics in your Google Analytics account based on tracked data could take from 30 minutes from 48 hours according to GTM Documentation. However, real time data should be visible right away if your account is correctly set up.

Success.

Woohoo, the extension is configured!
Note: Your GA and GTM account are now configured with our pre-generated settings and ready to receive valuable information from your Magento 2 store! You can now gather valuable data and take data driven decisions! Congrats!
Note 2: If you would like to receive even more personalized tracking data, you can always extend your GTM and GA default configurations from your account. If you would like our Google Certified Specialists to help you with that please contact our support for a quote.

General Configuration.

Google Tag Manager Javascript Code Position [ In the head tag / Before body close tag ] - choose position where Javascript code to be inserted. Default: In the head tag.
Impression Chunks Size - allows you to break up the payload into smaller chunks. We recommend limiting it to 15. The analytics.js library refuses to send a hit if the full payload size is larger than 8192 bytes. This does require quite a lot of data to be stuffed within, but it only takes some dozens of product impressions to clog up the channel
Product identifier [ SKU / ID ] - you can identify products in GA and GTM either by SKU or by product ID from your Magento catalog
Enable Brand - if you would like to have each product brand tracked in Google Analytics Ecommerce Reports - select yes and use appropriate brand attribute
Order Success Page Total Calculation [ Subtotal / Grandtotal ] - Calculates total amount on success page based on Subtotal or Grandtotal
Measure Product Clicks - This option allows ‘Product Click’ tracking on Category Page , Search results page and Related/Cross-sell/Up-sell product grids. If Product Click Tracking is enabled this option rewrites Magento_Catalog::product/list.phtml and Magento_Catalog::product/list/list.phtml. If you are using a custom theme/extension already re-writing this templates check here how you can make the necessary compatibility adjustments: How to solve GTM compatibility issues

Promotion Tracking [ Yes / No ] - Example of usage:

                 <a href="#" data-track-promo-id="PROMOID"
                    data-track-promo-name="PROMONAME"
                    data-track-promo-creative="PROMOCREATIVE"
                    data-track-promo-position="PROMOPOSITION">Content
                 </a>

Exclude Tax From Transaction [ Yes / No ] - Exclude taxes amount from transaction
Exclude Shipping From Transaction [ Yes / No ] - Exclude shipping amount from transaction
Exclude Orders with 0 Value [ Yes / No ] - Orders with value 0.00 can be excluded from purchase transactions if you set this option to Yes
Success Page Paths - If you are using a custom checkout, and the success page path is different from the default Magento path: 'checkout/onepage/success', you can list it here to make sure the Transaction data is sent to GTM.
Custom Dimension - Customer ID [ Yes / No ] - Use customer ID as a custom dimension
Custom Dimension - Customer Group [ Yes / No ] - Use customer group as a custom dimension
Custom Dimension - Stock Status (insctock/out of stock) [ Yes / No ] - Use customer dimension as a custom dimension

GTM API Configuration.

Account ID - Must be set as seen in Step 4 from Configure section
Container ID - Must be set as seen in Step 4 from Configure section
Measurement ID - Must be set as seen in Step 4 from Configure section
I.P Anonymization [ Yes / No ] - Allows website owners to request that all of their users' IP addresses are anonymized. It help website owners comply with their own privacy policies or, in some countries, recommendations from local data protection authorities, which may prevent the storage of full IP address information.

Google Adwords conversion tracking.

Enable [ Yes / No ] - Enables Google AdWords conversion tracking
Google Conversion ID - You need a Google AdWords account adwords.google.com. Follow Google documentation on how to find Google Conversion ID for AdWords.
Google Conversion Label - Follow Google documentation on how to find Google Conversion Label for AdWords.
Google Conversion Currency Code - Fill in currency used in AdWords account. e.g. usd

Google AdWords Remarketing.

Enable [ Yes / No ] - Enables Google AdWords remarketing.
Google Conversion Code - Follow Google documentation on how to find Google Conversion Code for Google AdWords Remarketing.
Google Conversion Label - Follow Google documentation on how to find Google Conversion Label for Google AdWords Remarketing.

Troubleshooting.

Preview and debug GTM tags

Use GTM Preview functionality
There are many ways to troubleshoot your GTM setup. However we found that using the GTM preview mode you can quickly and easily troubleshoot your GTM setup regardless of your expertise level. Go to your GTM account and in the top right corner you will see the Preview Button

After hitting the Preview Mode button, you will be redirected to the Tag Assistant page where you'll need to input your website's URL.

You will then be redirected to your website in a new tab, with a confirmation that the debugger is connected. Switch back to the Tag Assistant tab and you'll be able to view every tag that gets fired here.

Change Log1.14.9

Google Analytics 4 Change Log.

What’s new in v.1.14.9 - November 14, 2024

New Feature: The PRO version of the extension's Social Pixel functionalities (Meta Pixel, Reddit Pixel & TikTok Pixel) can now be enhanced with 3 powerful new addons that facilitate full server-side implementations with their respective APIs: Meta Conversions API (CAPI), Reddit Conversions API (CAPI) and TikTok Events API. These addons are sold separately and can function independently of each other.
New Feature: Overhauled the extension's backend settings to separate Social Pixel (Meta Pixel, Reddit Pixel & TikTok Pixel) settings from the main Google Analytics 4 PRO extension settings. Each Social Pixel has now been given its own Magento Admin section in order to ensure settings are easy to find and organized properly, as well as to maximize legibility.
New Feature: Added a new setting for the extension's Google Ads Conversion Tracking functionality, specifically related to Enhanced Conversions (PRO version only) which now allows for sending pre-hashed Enhanced Conversion data to Google Ads. While Google considers this optional, hashing the data helps provide an additional layer of security and privacy.
New Feature: The extension is now fully compatible with the Hyvä Checkout. Previously, the extension was only confirmed for compatibility with the default Luma Checkout, however, it has since been adjusted to be fully compatible with the proprietary checkout extension, both via client-side and Measurement Protocol tracking.
New Feature: A new setting was added that allows for swapping the load order for the Google Tag Manager initialization script and the dataLayer script. Depending on store setup, speed, and other factors, you may experience more accurate client-side tracking one way or the other.
New Feature: The Customer Group User Property can now be sent via the Measurement Protocol as well. Previously, this piece of data was only sent via the extension's client-side implementation.
Fixed an error related to the Social Pixels (Meta Pixel, Reddit Pixel or TikTok Pixel) that would be thrown on Product Pages when the product in question had slashes (/) in the title.
Adjusted the script tag the extension uses to ensure its scripts stay in the head section when Move JS to Bottom functionalities are used. The tag now uses a data-attribute.
Added additional validations to account for situations in which the Magento Cookie Restriction mode status can't be read properly.
Fixed an error specific to PHP 8.x that would sometimes be thrown when using the extension's Promotion Tracking functionality.
Added new whitelisted domains to account for Magento CSP restrictions.

What’s new in v.1.14.7 - August 29, 2024

New Feature: The PRO version of the extension can now generate a full JSON container file for Google Tag Manager Server Containers. The feature is currently a BETA functionality and will be changed/altered as a true Server-Side integration evolves. This is an advanced feature, currently which requires technical knowledge, as well as an already-provisioned server-side tracking implementation/container to use.
New Feature: The PRO version of the extension now comes with a native TikTok Pixel integration. Similar to its already existent Meta Pixel and Reddit Pixel functionalities, this integration allows for sending eCommerce event data to TikTok Ads.
Added an additional nonce to one of the extension's scripts that action on the Checkout, relating to the Measure Product Clicks (Select Item) functionality to account for recent Magento CSP requirements.
Applied adjustments surrounding the extension's GTM script initialization admin settings to prevent malformed GTM scripts from breaking functionality and potentially causing issues on the frontend.
Fixed an error related to PHP 8 that would be thrown on the Home Page in certain niche cases when the Measure Product Clicks (Select Item) functionality was enabled.
Fixed an error that would sometimes be thrown on the Checkout caused by a Magento/Product configuration that would result in a division by zero.
Fixed an issue that would prevent the Add to Wishlist event from being triggered when adding a product to the Wishlist from the Cart Page.

What’s new in v.1.14.5 - July 22, 2024

New Feature: Overhauled the extension's Promotion Tracking functionality. The extension now allows you to send items alongside the View Promotion and Select Promotion events, either via HTML structure or via the dedicated GA4 Promo Link Widget.
New Feature: Adjusted the extension's Brand tracking capabilities to allow for using text-type attributes as well. Previously, this was not the case and text-type attributes could not be used for this purpose.
Fixed a bug specific to multi Store View environments that would result in orders created in the Magento Admin being sent to the Default Store View regardless under which Store View they were created.
Fixed a Measurement Protocol tracking bug that would sometimes result in Purchases being sent to Google Analytics twice. This serves to ensure order values are not duplicated in Google Analytics.
Adjusted script initialization order to ensure the Google Tag Manager script is initialized before the dataLayer, potentially improving tracking accuracy, in some cases.
Adjusted the dataLayer for Google Ads Enhanced Conversions to ensure the Country Code is sent via the User Provided Data variable instead of the Country Name.
Fixed an issue whereby the "Exclude orders with 0 value" option would not work when tracking purchases via the Measurement Protocol.
Added various improvements and optimizations to better align with Magento Security Best Practices.
Added minor Magento Admin adjustments for increased clarity.
Code cleanup - removed deprecated PHP methods.

What’s new in v.1.14.3 - June 12, 2024

Important adjustment: Important adjustment: Added an adjustment to account for a Google Measurement Protocol bug that prevents Google Analytics from processing event data when sending the User ID in the event payload. This only happened when a certain Google policy was accepted. More details in this blog post.
New Feature: The PRO version of the extension now features Reddit Pixel tracking, similar to the recently added Meta Pixel Tracking functionality, the extension has been upgraded with a native Reddit Pixel integration that allows for tracking various events.
New Feature: Added a new backend configuration option that is applicable when the Item Variant is enabled, which allows for choosing between sending the Product SKU as the variant, or a dynamically generated string consisting of the product configurations.
New Feature: Added a new section in the Magento Admin that checks to make sure the latest product version is installed and notifies in case an update is available, as well as a button that allows for new features to be requested.
Fixed an issue related to the Add to Cart & View Item Measurement Protocol events which resulted in the Parent Product price being sent to Google Analytics even when the the Child vs Product backend option was set to Child.
Fixed an issue that would, in certain configurations when the Send Enhanced Conversions to Google Analytics 4 option was enabled, cause a warning to show up during the backend JSON generation process.
Fixed a bug that would cause the extension's script initialization to break because of incorrect characters when adding custom attributes to the script tag in the extension's backend configuration.
Fixed a bug that would prevent the Remove from Cart event from being fired when using the extension's Measurement Protocol tracking. The client-side version of this event was not affected by this.
Added a technical improvement to the extension's Item Name fetching process for View Item List and View Item events which allows for enhanced compatibility with various Magento customizations.
Added minor improvements to script nonce generation in order to ensure the extension's scripts properly pass Magento CSP restrictions.
Added an adjustment to the extension which boosts compatibility with 3rd party extensions that send/modify HTTP headers.
Added improvements to discount parameter calculations for products with tax included in the price.
Added minor label adjustments to Measurement Protocol User Properties admin settings.
Introduced compatibility with the latest Magento 2.4.7-p1, 2.4.6-p6, 2.4.5-p8 and 2.4.4-p9 versions.

New Feature: Added an option that allows for including a new event in the dataLayer called ads_purchase which can be used as a trigger for the Google Ads Conversion Tracking Tag, used in cases in which the tag misses timing.
New Feature: Added support for Enhanced Conversions in Google Analytics 4. Previously, this feature was only available for Google Ads, however, Google has since implemented it for Google Analytics as well.
New Feature: Added a new configuration option for the Measurement Protocol functionality to allow for sending various User Properties to Google Analytics, which can be used to create Custom Dimensions.
New Feature: Extended the New Customer Data reporting functionality for Google Ads to ensure data is sent for Guest Customers as well as Signed-In users.
Fixed an issue related to Enhanced Conversions for Google Ads whereby User-Provided variable values were not being mapped properly in the exported JSON.
Added adjustments to Meta Pixel View Content event structure for Item IDs (SKUs) to ensure proper event validation in Facebook Ads Manager.
Fixed a bug that would sometimes cause an error to be displayed when modifying item quantity in the cart from a small to a large number.
Fixed a bug that would sometimes result in item variants being duplicated in the Add to Cart & Remove from Cart event dataLayer.
Added adjustments to increase compatibility with custom script insertion/optimization methods, particularly Rocket Javascript.
Added performance optimizations related to server-side (Measurement Protocol) View Item List event caching.
Added/adjusted Magento Admin configuration option descriptions for improved clarity.
Confirmed compatibility with the latest Magento 2.4.7 release, as well as newly released 2.4.6-p5, 2.4.5-p7 & 2.4.4-p8 Security Patches.

New Feature: Extended the Enhanced Conversions functionality to include Customer Name & Address details in the dataLayer as well. The required Google Tag Manager variables are automatically created via JSON container import.
New Feature: Added a new setting related to the View Item event for Configurable Products, which allows for sending all associated Simple Products alongside the View Item event in one push, via the "items" array.
New Feature: Excluded bots from being tracked via the Measurement Protocol. This increases the overall tracking accuracy as requests from the most common bots/crawlers are now prevented from skewing data.
New Feature: Extended the Purchase event with a "discount" parameter, which applies whenever a purchased product has a discounted price via coupon, price rule or Special Price.
Fixed an error that would be thrown, in some cases, on the frontend when the Meta Pixel Tracking functionality was enabled.
