GA4 Ecommerce: Start-up Steps and Considerations

With the impending deprecation of Universal Analytics (Google Analytics 3) in 2023, migrating or planning on starting to set website tracking through GA4 and one of the most important conversions to keep in mind is revenue, being through donations or else.

This webinar will cover what ecommerce tracking is like in GA4, what are possible steps to implement it based on different possible sources of that data, and the caveats for each option. You will also learn how to use Google Tag Manager to leverage your data collection without the need of a developer.

Join Whole Whale’s data engineering manager, Axel Kaban to review priority metrics and formatting requirements, learn web tracking best practices to track donation campaigns, and explore the GA4 Monetization report. 

Learn how to:

  • Take advantage of Google Tag Manager for GA4 event tracking 
  • Understand the conventional names and structure requirements for ecommerce tracking as it pertains to GA4
  • Understand how to plan for ecommerce tracking based on your shop or donation platform, your team capacity, and your reporting needs
  • Use the reports in GA4 to inform yourself of conversion that furthers your organization’s goals
