The Complete Guide to Connecting Google Analytics 4 with Your Shopify Store

Why Every Shopify Merchant Needs Google Analytics 4 Right Now

Here’s a scenario you’ve probably lived through: you check your Shopify dashboard, see solid traffic numbers, and wonder why sales aren’t keeping pace. Something is leaking in your funnel, but Shopify’s native reports only tell you so much. You know customers are browsing. You just can’t figure out where they’re walking out the door.

This is exactly the gap Google Analytics 4 fills. And in 2025, connecting GA4 to your Shopify store isn’t just a “nice to have” — it’s a foundational move for any merchant serious about growth.

GA4 is Google’s current analytics platform, built from the ground up around an event-based data model. That means instead of counting page views and sessions in isolation, it tracks every meaningful interaction a visitor has with your store: product views, add-to-cart actions, checkout steps, purchases, and more. The result is a far richer picture of how real people behave on your site — and where you’re losing them.

In this guide, you’ll learn everything you need to connect GA4 to your Shopify store properly. We’ll cover the two main setup methods, the reports that matter most, how to build audiences for smarter ad targeting, and the troubleshooting fixes most guides skip. Whether you’re just getting started or cleaning up a messy existing setup, this is your complete roadmap.

GA4 vs. Shopify Analytics: Why You Need Both

A common question from Shopify merchants: “I already have analytics built in. Why do I need GA4?” It’s a fair question. But Shopify Analytics and Google Analytics 4 aren’t competitors — they’re complements. They show you different parts of the same story.

What Shopify Analytics Does Well

Shopify’s native analytics is excellent at what it’s designed for. It gives you accurate, real-time order and revenue data because it’s pulling directly from your store’s backend. Every order, refund, and discount is counted perfectly. There’s no sampling, no data gaps from ad blockers, and no discrepancy between what you see and what actually happened.

100% accurate order and revenue tracking — pulled straight from your Shopify backend
Native discount and refund reporting — you can see exactly how promotional codes affect margins
Real-time sales monitoring — useful during flash sales and high-traffic events
Customer cohort analysis — available on higher Shopify plans

Shopify Analytics tells you what happened in your store. It’s the accounting ledger. Precise, reliable, and essential.

What GA4 Does That Shopify Can’t

GA4 tells you why things happened — and what’s happening before the sale. It tracks the full customer journey, often across multiple sessions and devices, and lets you analyze behavior at every step of your funnel.

Cross-device user tracking — follows a visitor who browses on mobile and later buys on desktop
Ecommerce funnel analysis — see exactly where customers drop off between product view and purchase
Traffic source attribution — understand which channels actually drive revenue, not just visits
Custom audience building — create segments of cart abandoners, high-value browsers, or repeat buyers and send them directly to Google Ads for remarketing
Data-driven attribution modeling — move beyond last-click to understand the true contribution of each marketing touchpoint

The bottom line is this: use Shopify Analytics for financial accuracy; use GA4 for behavioral intelligence. Together, they give you the complete picture. Alone, each leaves major blind spots.

Understanding GA4’s Event-Based Model

If you used Universal Analytics (the old Google Analytics, sometimes called GA3 or UA), GA4 will feel different. The biggest shift is the data model. Universal Analytics was session-based — it organized data around page views and defined sessions that started and ended based on time or user exits. If someone left your site and came back within 30 minutes, UA often treated it as a fresh session. Data was less connected and less accurate.

GA4 records every user interaction as an event. Loading a page, viewing a product, adding to cart, starting checkout, completing a purchase — each is an event with its own parameters and context. This event-based model makes cross-device tracking far more reliable and gives you much more granular data to work with. It’s a more modern approach to analytics, and once you understand it, the reports become significantly more powerful.

Before You Begin: Prerequisites and Important Deadlines

Before jumping into the setup, a few things need to be in place. Skipping this preparation step is one of the most common reasons GA4 setups end up messy or incomplete.

What You’ll Need

A Google Account — this will own your GA4 property. Use a business account, not a personal Gmail, so access doesn’t walk out the door if a team member leaves.
Admin access to your Shopify store — specifically to install apps and manage Customer Events settings.
A GA4 property created at analytics.google.com — you’ll need the Measurement ID (it starts with “G-“) during setup.
Password protection removed from your store — GA4 cannot track events on a password-protected store. Make sure your store is live and accessible.

The August 2025 Checkout Extensibility Milestone

Here’s something critical that affects every Shopify merchant’s analytics setup. As of August 28, 2025, Shopify completed the mandatory migration away from checkout.liquid to Checkout Extensibility. This affects how tracking works on your Thank You and Order Status pages — the pages where purchase events fire.

The practical implication: if your store wasn’t properly updated before this deadline, your purchase tracking may have gaps. The good news is that both major GA4 setup methods covered in this guide — the Google & YouTube app and Google Tag Manager via Custom Pixels — work correctly with Checkout Extensibility. If you’re setting up GA4 for the first time in 2025 or later, you’re building on the new architecture by default. But if you had an older setup in place, it’s worth verifying your purchase events are actually firing correctly (we’ll cover how to do that in the troubleshooting section).

A Note on Data Retention

One often-overlooked GA4 setting is data retention. By default, GA4 stores event-level data for only two months. For most Shopify stores, that’s not enough — especially if your customers have longer consideration periods or you want to do meaningful year-over-year comparisons.

To change this: go to Admin → Data Settings → Data Retention and switch the retention period to 14 months. This is one of those settings that seems minor until the day you need historical data and realize it’s been deleted. Do it on day one.

Method 1: The Google & YouTube Channel App (Recommended for Most Stores)

The simplest and most reliable way to connect GA4 to your Shopify store is through the official Google & YouTube channel app. This is Shopify’s recommended method, and it handles the heavy lifting for you — including Checkout Extensibility integration and Consent Mode v2 compatibility (important for EU/EEA stores).

Step-by-Step Setup

Create your GA4 property. Go to analytics.google.com, click Admin (the gear icon in the bottom left), then Create Property. Name it after your store, set your reporting time zone and currency, and complete the setup wizard. At the end, you’ll get a Measurement ID that looks like G-XXXXXXXXXX. Copy it — you’ll need it shortly.
Install the Google & YouTube app. From your Shopify admin, use the search bar and type “Google and YouTube.” You’ll be directed to the Shopify App Store. Click Install and follow the permission prompts.
Connect your Google account. Once installed, open the app and select Connect Google Account. Sign in with the Google account that owns your GA4 property.
Navigate to the GA4 setup section. On the app’s Overview page, find the “Just want to set up Google Analytics 4” section and click Get started.
Connect your GA4 property. You’ll see a list of GA4 properties connected to your Google account. Select the property you just created and click Connect, then Confirm. This is the strongly preferred option — it automatically configures the Google tag for you.
Verify your setup. After completing the connection, wait 24–48 hours and then check your GA4 property’s Realtime report (found under Reports → Realtime). Browse your own store and see if events appear. If you see page views, product views, and add-to-cart events firing, your setup is working.

What This Method Tracks Automatically

Once connected via the Google & YouTube app, GA4 will automatically track the following events on your Shopify store:

page_view — a customer visited a page on your store
search — a customer searched for a product
view_item — a customer viewed a product page
add_to_cart — a customer added a product to their cart
begin_checkout — a customer started the checkout process
add_payment_info — a customer successfully entered payment information
purchase — a customer completed their checkout

For most Shopify merchants — especially those just starting with GA4 or running stores without complex custom tracking needs — this is enough to get genuinely valuable insights. You’ll be able to build funnel reports, analyze traffic sources, and create audiences for remarketing without writing a single line of code.

Limitations to Know About

The Google & YouTube app is powerful, but it has trade-offs worth understanding before you commit:

It doesn’t support custom events like scroll depth tracking, video plays, or custom button clicks.
All data collection is browser-based (client-side), which means ad blockers and browser privacy settings can cause some data to be missed. Expect purchase tracking accuracy of roughly 60–80% compared to your Shopify backend.
Some advanced parameters like coupon codes, discount amounts, and product SKUs may not be tracked by default.
There’s no server-side tracking support.

If these limitations are acceptable for your current stage, stick with the app. If you need more control, the next method is for you.

Method 2: Google Tag Manager via Custom Pixel (For Advanced Control)

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a tag management system that lets you deploy and manage marketing and analytics tags without editing your store’s code directly. For Shopify merchants who need flexibility — custom events, multiple analytics destinations, or more precise control over what fires and when — GTM is the right approach.

Since Shopify’s migration to Checkout Extensibility, the correct way to implement GTM on Shopify is through a Custom Pixel. This approach works across all Shopify plans, including non-Plus stores, and provides tracking coverage across all pages including checkout.

Understanding Custom Pixels and the Sandboxed Environment

Custom pixels in Shopify run in a sandboxed iFrame — a separate, isolated environment from the main store page. This is intentional. It increases security by preventing arbitrary scripts from accessing the main page DOM, but it introduces some important limitations that catch many merchants off guard.

In this sandboxed environment:

Standard GTM triggers like element visibility, scroll depth, and click triggers won’t work.
GTM’s Preview Mode doesn’t function normally — you’ll need the Shopify Pixel Helper browser extension for testing instead.
GA4’s Enhanced Measurement automatic events (like outbound link clicks) need to be re-implemented manually as custom events.
The user_engagement event and Average Engagement Time metrics may be inaccurate through this method.

Know these constraints going in, and you’ll avoid a lot of frustration. Now let’s walk through the setup.

Step-by-Step GTM + GA4 Setup via Custom Pixel

Create a GTM account and container. Go to tagmanager.google.com and sign in. Create a new account named after your business, then create a Web container named after your store. After creation, you’ll see the GTM container ID (it looks like GTM-XXXXXXX). You’ll also be given two code snippets — you’ll need these shortly.
Configure your GA4 tag inside GTM. Inside your GTM workspace, go to Tags → New. Choose the Google Tag tag type. Enter your GA4 Measurement ID (G-XXXXXXXXXX). Set the trigger to All Pages (Initialization trigger). Name the tag something clear like “GA4 – Configuration Tag” and save.
Add GTM to Shopify via Custom Pixel. In your Shopify admin, go to Settings → Customer Events and click Add custom pixel. Name it (e.g., “Google Tag Manager”). In the code editor, paste a script that pushes Shopify’s standard Customer Events into the GTM data layer. Shopify’s developer documentation provides the exact code structure for subscribing to events like page_viewed, product_viewed, product_added_to_cart, and checkout_completed.
Set up ecommerce event tags in GTM. Back in GTM, create individual event tags for each Shopify event you want to track. For example, create a GA4 Event tag for add_to_cart, triggered by the custom event name you pushed from the Shopify pixel. Map the relevant parameters (item name, price, quantity) using GTM variables.
Test and publish. Install the Shopify Pixel Helper extension in Chrome and browse your store. Confirm that events are being captured and pushed into the data layer as expected. Once satisfied, publish your GTM container.

Choosing the Right Method for Your Store

Not sure which approach to use? Here’s a simple framework:

Use the Google & YouTube app if: You’re new to GA4, you need the standard ecommerce events (product views, add to cart, purchase), and you don’t have complex custom tracking requirements. It’s fast, reliable, and requires zero technical knowledge.
Use GTM via Custom Pixel if: You need custom events beyond what the app provides, you’re running multiple tracking destinations (GA4 + Meta Pixel + other tools), or you require more precise control over what data is sent and when.
Consider a paid app (like Analyzify or Elevar) if: You need server-side tracking for higher data accuracy, enhanced parameters like SKU-level tracking, or you simply want a done-for-you solution that handles all the complexity.

The GA4 Reports Every Shopify Merchant Should Check Weekly

Setting up GA4 is only half the battle. The real value comes from actually using the data. Here are the reports that deliver the most actionable insights for Shopify stores, and specifically what to look for in each one.

Acquisition Reports: Where Are Your Customers Coming From?

Find these under Reports → Acquisition. You’ll see two primary reports:

User Acquisition shows how users first discovered your store — the channel that brought them in for the first time. This is useful for understanding which top-of-funnel efforts are working over time.

Traffic Acquisition shows how individual sessions arrived at your store. This is more useful for campaign monitoring — you can see how many sessions each channel drove in any given period, along with the conversion rate and revenue for those sessions.

What to look for: If a channel drives high traffic but low purchase conversion rates, something is misaligned between the ad creative and your landing page experience. If a channel drives lower traffic but significantly higher conversion rates, it’s almost always worth investing more there.

Monetization Reports: Your Ecommerce Performance Hub

Under Reports → Monetization, the Ecommerce Purchases report is your go-to. It breaks down revenue, purchase quantity, and item-level performance. Unlike Shopify Analytics (which gives you accurate totals), this report adds the behavioral context — how many times was each product viewed vs. purchased, which helps you calculate a product-level conversion rate.

Check the Purchase Journey report here too. It shows the sequence of events before a purchase — how many sessions users had, which pages they visited, and where in the funnel they dropped off before finally converting. This can completely change how you think about your store’s user experience.

The Funnel Exploration: Your Most Powerful Report

GA4’s Explore section (accessible from the left navigation) is where the real analytical power lives. Standard reports are useful, but Explorations let you build custom reports tailored to your specific questions. The most valuable one for Shopify merchants is the Funnel Exploration.

To build an ecommerce funnel:

Go to Explore and select Funnel exploration.
Add the following steps in sequence: view_item → add_to_cart → begin_checkout → purchase.
Look at the percentage of users who complete each step.

This single report answers the question that haunts every Shopify merchant: where exactly are people leaving? If 80% of visitors who view a product page never add to cart, you have a product page problem. If 70% of people who start checkout never complete it, you have a checkout friction problem. The funnel makes the diagnosis clear.

You can also add a breakdown dimension — like Device Category — to see if mobile users drop off at a different rate than desktop users. That kind of insight can justify a mobile checkout optimization project in an instant.

User and Path Exploration Reports

The User Explorer report lets you look at individual anonymized user journeys. You can see the complete sequence of events a specific user took before purchasing (or abandoning). This is incredibly useful for understanding the non-linear paths real customers take.

The Path Exploration report shows what users do after a specific event. For example: after viewing a product page, what do most users do next? Do they add to cart, browse more products, or leave? This helps you identify friction points and opportunities to guide users toward conversion.

Realtime Report: Your Monitoring Dashboard

Under Reports → Realtime, you can see active users on your store right now, which pages they’re on, and which events are firing. This is most useful in two scenarios: immediately after setting up GA4 (to confirm events are tracking correctly) and during live promotions or flash sales (to monitor performance in real time).

Building Audiences and Connecting to Google Ads

GA4 isn’t just an analytics tool — it’s an audience engine. The behavioral data it collects lets you build precise remarketing audiences that you can push directly into Google Ads campaigns. For Shopify merchants running paid search or shopping campaigns, this integration is one of the highest-leverage things you can do.

Linking GA4 to Google Ads

Before you can use GA4 audiences in Google Ads, you need to link the two accounts. Here’s how:

In GA4, go to Admin → Product Links → Google Ads Links.
Click Link and select your Google Ads account.
Enable Personalized Advertising and Auto-Tagging (auto-tagging ensures Google Ads campaign data flows correctly into GA4).
Click Save. The link activates within 24 hours.

Creating High-Value Remarketing Audiences

Once linked, you can create audiences in GA4 based on specific behaviors and share them with Google Ads. Go to Admin → Audiences → New Audience. Some of the most powerful audiences for Shopify merchants include:

Cart Abandoners — users who fired add_to_cart but NOT purchase in the same session. These are your warmest leads and typically convert at significantly higher rates when retargeted with the right offer.
Product Page Viewers (Non-Purchasers) — users who viewed specific products but never bought. Great for category-specific remarketing.
High-Value Customers — past purchasers with a purchase value above a certain threshold. Use these for lookalike audience targeting to find more customers who resemble your best buyers.
Repeat Visitors — users who have visited your store 3 or more times without purchasing. These are high-intent browsers who might need a nudge.

Once created, audiences take 24–48 hours to populate in Google Ads. They’re most effective when paired with specific ad creative that speaks to where the user is in their decision journey — not a generic brand ad.

Predictive Audiences (Google Signals Required)

If your store generates sufficient data volume, GA4 can create predictive audiences — users who are likely to purchase in the next 7 days, or likely to churn. To access these, you need to enable Google Signals (Admin → Data Collection → Google Signals Data Collection) and have at least 1,000 returning users per week with purchase event data. For high-traffic stores, these predictive segments can be remarkably effective for proactive retargeting.

GDPR, Consent Mode, and Privacy Compliance

If you have customers in the European Union, European Economic Area, or United Kingdom, analytics compliance is not optional. Google now mandates Consent Mode v2 for all GA4 implementations that serve users in these regions. Ignore this, and you risk losing your Google Ads remarketing audiences and conversion data for non-consenting visitors.

What Consent Mode Does

Consent Mode is a framework that tells Google’s tags how to behave when a user declines cookie tracking. Instead of blocking the tags entirely (which would mean zero data for non-consenting users), Consent Mode allows GA4 to send anonymized, cookieless “pings” that contribute to modeled aggregate data. You still get conversion estimates without storing individual user data for those who opted out. It’s a reasonable balance between privacy compliance and analytics utility.

Implementation for Shopify Stores

The cleanest way to implement Consent Mode v2 on Shopify is to use a cookie consent banner app that integrates directly with Shopify’s Customer Privacy API. Well-regarded options include Pandectes, Consentmo, and CookieYes — all of which have native Shopify integrations and Consent Mode v2 support.

If you’re using the Google & YouTube app for GA4, it handles Consent Mode v2 automatically when paired with a compatible consent banner. If you’re using a custom GTM pixel setup, you’ll need to configure consent signals manually within your GTM container.

A quick checklist for privacy compliance:

A cookie consent banner is present and functional for EU/EEA/UK visitors.
Your GA4 property has Consent Mode v2 configured.
You’ve updated your Privacy Policy to disclose Google Analytics data collection.
Data retention is set appropriately (no longer than necessary).

Common Problems and How to Fix Them

Even a careful setup can run into issues. Here are the most common GA4 problems Shopify merchants encounter, and the fixes that actually work.

Purchase Events Not Firing or Missing

This is the most critical issue to catch early. If purchase events aren’t being recorded in GA4, your funnel data and Google Ads conversion tracking are both broken.

Common causes:

Your store hasn’t been updated to Checkout Extensibility (mandatory since August 2025). Check your Shopify admin under Settings → Checkout to confirm you’re on the new checkout system.
Third-party payment gateways that redirect users away from your store and back to a different URL can sometimes break the purchase event. Tools like Elevar or server-side tracking help here.
Ad blockers on your device during testing. Always test from a clean browser profile or incognito mode.

Fix: Compare your GA4 purchase count against Shopify’s order count for the same period. A difference of 10–20% is normal (due to ad blockers and privacy settings). A difference of 40%+ suggests a tracking problem that needs investigation.

Data Discrepancies Between GA4 and Shopify Analytics

GA4 will almost always show fewer transactions and lower revenue than Shopify Analytics. This is expected and not a sign that GA4 is broken. The reasons include ad blockers, users who decline cookies, browser privacy features (especially Safari’s Intelligent Tracking Prevention), and users who purchase via accelerated checkout methods that bypass standard tracking.

Don’t try to make GA4 match Shopify exactly — it won’t. Instead, use GA4 for behavioral trends and relative comparisons (is conversion rate improving month over month?), and use Shopify for absolute financial accuracy.

Duplicate Events Being Counted

If you’ve transitioned from an older setup to a new one — for example, from a manual GA4 tag in your theme files to the Google & YouTube app — you may end up with both sending data simultaneously. This causes every event to be counted twice.

Fix: Go to your Shopify admin and check three places: Settings → Customer Events (look for duplicate pixels), Online Store → Preferences (check for any GA4 IDs entered in the legacy Google Analytics field), and your theme’s theme.liquid file (look for any direct gtag.js or analytics script tags). Remove any duplicates, keeping only your primary tracking method active.

GA4 Showing Incorrect or Sandbox URLs in Reports

If you’re using GTM via Custom Pixel and your page URLs in GA4 reports show sandbox-related paths rather than your actual store URLs, this is a known limitation of the sandboxed pixel environment.

Fix: In your GTM container, disable GA4’s automatic page tracking and instead implement it manually using Shopify’s page_viewed Customer Event. Push the clean page URL to the data layer and use that as your GA4 page_view parameter. Shopify’s help documentation provides the exact code structure for this.

Advanced Moves: Custom Events and Enhanced Tracking

Once your foundational setup is solid and you’re seeing clean data in your core reports, there’s a whole layer of additional tracking that can give you sharper insights. These aren’t strictly necessary for every store — but for merchants who are serious about conversion optimization, they’re worth the investment.

Custom Events Worth Tracking

GA4’s standard Shopify events cover the main commerce interactions, but they miss some highly informative behavioral signals:

view_item_list — fires when a customer views a collection page or search results listing. Helps you understand which product lists drive the most downstream purchases.
select_item — fires when a user clicks a product from a list. Combined with view_item_list, you can calculate a “click-through rate” for individual products in your collections.
remove_from_cart — fires when a product is removed from the cart. High remove rates on specific items can indicate pricing concerns or product detail issues.
Email signup events — custom events that fire when a user submits a popup or footer email form. Valuable for measuring list growth and the downstream purchase behavior of email subscribers.
Size guide or product video engagement — fires when a user interacts with specific content elements. Useful for testing whether these features actually help conversion.

These events require either GTM (via Custom Pixel) or manual implementation in your theme code. If you’re using the Google & YouTube app only, you’ll need to upgrade to a GTM setup or use a dedicated app like Analyzify to access them.

Custom Dimensions for Richer Product Data

GA4 allows you to create custom dimensions that add extra parameters to your events. For Shopify stores, the most valuable custom dimensions to consider include:

Product SKU or variant ID — helps you distinguish between product variants (size, color) in reports rather than lumping all variants under a single product name
Collection name — lets you analyze performance at the collection level, not just individual products
Discount code applied — allows you to track which promotional codes are used in purchases and their impact on conversion rates
Customer type — new vs. returning customer, useful for understanding retention and repeat purchase behavior

To set up custom dimensions, go to Admin → Custom Definitions → Custom Dimensions. You’ll define each dimension by name and the event parameter it reads from. Once created, the dimension becomes available in your reports and explorations.

Connecting GA4 to Google Search Console

One of the most underutilized GA4 integrations for Shopify merchants is Search Console. Linking the two tools brings organic search query data into GA4 — you can see which search terms bring users to your store, how those users behave after arriving, and which queries actually lead to purchases.

To connect them: go to Admin → Product Links → Search Console Links and follow the prompts. You’ll need admin access to a Search Console property for your store’s domain. Once linked, you’ll find organic search query data in Reports → Acquisition → Search Console.

A Practical Action Plan: Your First 30 Days with GA4

All of this information can feel overwhelming when you’re staring at a brand new GA4 property. Here’s how to approach it in a structured, manageable way.

Days 1–3: Foundation

Install the Google & YouTube channel app and connect your GA4 property.
Verify events are firing using the Realtime report — specifically look for page_view, view_item, add_to_cart, and purchase.
Change data retention to 14 months (Admin → Data Settings → Data Retention).
If you serve EU customers, configure a Consent Mode v2-compatible cookie banner.

Days 4–7: Essential Configuration

Mark your purchase event as a conversion (Admin → Conversions → New Conversion Event, type “purchase”).
Link GA4 to Google Ads if you’re running paid campaigns.
Link GA4 to Search Console.
Create your first Funnel Exploration: view_item → add_to_cart → begin_checkout → purchase.

Days 8–14: Explore the Data

Review your Traffic Acquisition report. Which channels have the highest purchase conversion rates?
Look at your Funnel Exploration. Where’s the biggest drop-off? That’s your first optimization target.
Check your top product pages in the Ecommerce Purchases report. Compare views to purchases.
Create your first remarketing audience: cart abandoners from the last 30 days.

Days 15–30: Optimize and Expand

If the native app setup feels limiting, evaluate whether GTM or a paid tracking app is worth the upgrade for your store’s needs.
Run your first Path Exploration to see what users do after viewing your top products.
Set up a weekly review cadence — check your funnel, acquisition sources, and top product performance every Monday morning. Consistency here is what turns analytics into action.

Turn Your GA4 Data Into Sales with Growth Suite

GA4 tells you exactly where hesitant shoppers are dropping off. But knowing isn’t the same as fixing. That’s where Growth Suite comes in.

Growth Suite is a Shopify app that watches every visitor’s behavior in real time — just like GA4 does — and then actually acts on it. When it identifies a visitor who’s interested but unlikely to buy without a nudge, it triggers a personalized, time-limited discount offer with a unique, single-use code. Not for everyone. Just for the visitors who genuinely need that extra incentive.

The result: you convert more of the traffic you’re already paying for, protect your margins by keeping discounts away from customers who were going to buy anyway, and build urgency that visitors actually trust because the offers are real and truly time-limited.

Growth Suite also includes detailed funnel and product performance reports that complement your GA4 data — giving you the complete picture of what’s working and where to focus next.

Ready to turn your behavioral data into revenue? Install Growth Suite free from the Shopify App Store — one click, no technical setup required, and you can start seeing results immediately.
