GA4

GA4 Pro

$399.00 GA4 Pro

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
Increased accuracy for sales data, including refunds and repeat purchases
Compatible multi-store setups

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.

Compatibility with Google Analytics 360 (GA360)

Google Analytics 360 is an enterprise-level rendition of Google Analytics, which provides the tools and support required for merchants to get actionable insights from the data that flows into their dashboards. Google Analytics 360 boasts a number of advanced tools, in addition to all the standard Analytics features. A couple of these tools are:

Unsampled Reports
BigQuery Export
Data Driven Attribution

Apart from this, merchants using Google Analytics 360 also benefit from a higher-level service agreement which covers data freshness, collection and reporting, a higher processing limit and access to dedicated support services. Our Google Analytics 4 and Google Analytics 4 PRO extensions are compatible with Google Analytics 360 and are ready to send the data you need to build and maintain a true enterprise-level eCommerce business.

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.

Redefining 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.

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Hyvä Theme Compatibility Addon

The Hyvä Theme frontend is basically built from the ground up, which means that most traditional Magento 2 modules need to be extended to ensure they work properly in conjunction with Hyvä. We provide these adjustments via an addon, which is basically another extension you can install to ensure the full functionality of the Google Analytics 4 PRO module are available with the Hyvä frontend.

Installing the Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Compatibility Addon for the Hyvä Theme

The steps for installing the Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Hyvä Theme Compatibility Addon are the following:

Step 1. Make sure you've installed the Google Analytics 4 PRO extension by following the installation steps above.
Step 2. Open the Hyvä Theme Compatibility Addon folder and found in the Google Analytics 4 PRO zip file and copy the app folder to the root of your Magento 2 project.
Note: If you're using Hyvä version 1.1.x, copy the content from the Patches/Hyvä 1.1.x folder into the root of your Magento project and make sure you select the Overwrite option when prompted.
Step 3. Enable the addon with the following command:
```
php bin/magento module:enable WeltPixel_HyvaGA4
```
Step 4. Upgrade the database and redeploy the static content if necessary.
Step 5. Flush all your available caches and you should be done! The addon has no configuration options, once it's installed and enabled, the adjustments will automatically apply and provide the necessary compatibility for the Google Analytics 4 PRO module with the Hyvä Theme.

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 Ads > 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.

Step 7. Measurement Protocol Tracking Configuration (PRO VERSION ONLY).

If you have the PRO version, make sure you do the following setup:

Enable Measurement Protocol Tracking Configuration: To enable go to Admin -> WeltPixel -> GA4 PRO -> Enable Measurement Protocol Tracking Configuration -> Set to Yes
Measurement ID: Ex: G-XCXCCXXC Find this information in Google Analytics 4 -> Admin Settings -> Data Stream -> Open the desired Data Stream -> MEASUREMENT ID (it is the same ID generated in Step 4b)
API Secret: Find this information in Google Analytics 4 -> Admin Settings -> Data Stream -> Open the desired Data Stream -> Measurement Protocol API secrets -> create a new API secret key and paste the value into this field
Track Events: Select the Events that you need: Purchase / Refund / Sign Up / Login / View Item / View Item List / Select Item / Search / Add to WishList / Add to Cart / View Cart / Begin Checkout / Add Payment Ingo / Add Shipping Info
Note: If you are using Client Side Tracking in conjunction with Measurement Protocol, make sure that you only track events on one side or another. For example, by having the “purchase” tag enabled on client side as well as via measurement protocol, 1 transaction will be triggered twice and it will result in duplicate transactions. You can check this by going to Google tag Manager -> Tags -> Select the Tags that you added in Track Events and click Pause (example image below)
Send User-ID Yes/No - Including the User ID allows for a more granular and accurate connection of user counts and behavior across different sessions as well as various devices and platforms.
Send User Properties with enabled events Yes/No - If set to Yes, a User Properties object will be sent to Google Analytics for each enabled Measurement Protocol event, containing data that can be used to create Custom Dimensions.
Select User Properties to send: Select the User Properties that you want to send to Google Analytics 4: Browser / Browser Version / Platform (Operating System) / Customer Group
Note:When creating Custom Dimensions for the enabled User Properties, use browser, browser_version, platform and customer_group in the User Property field.
Automatically disable data layer for enabled measurement protocol events: Yes/No - To avoid any chance of duplicate events being sent, you must choose which event is sent via Measurement Protocol or via Data Layer. By enabling this option we automatically disable Data Layer for enabled Measurement protocol events, therefore even existing GTM tags will not fire because the data layer is not sent.
Enable File Log: Yes/No Enable push data log in ga4.log file
Enable Debug Collect: Yes/No Enable push of data to https://www.google-analytics.com/debug/mp/collect
Save the configuration.

Magento 2 GA4 Config Measurement Protocol

Note: If you've enabled the Automatically disable data layer for enabled measurement protocol events option, you can skip this step.

To avoid duplicate transactions go to your Google tag Manager -> Tags -> Select the Tags that you added in Track Events and Pause each client-side event that is also enabled under the Track Events section.

Note: Ensure you don't disable the main Analytics Tag, labeled WP - GA4, as this tag is required for tracking sessions, page views, and other important user-related metrics.

With the PRO version of the Google Analytics 4 extension, you can integrate with TikTok Pixel's Events API. To do so, you'll need to install and enable the TikTok Pixel Events API Addon. Once the addon is enabled, simply follow the instructions in the addon's User Guide to configure it and begin sending server-side data to TikTok. The benefits of doing so are substantial and include:

Improved targeting and ad deliverability - With TikTok Events API, advertisers can bypass the obstacles of browser limitations & inconsistencies, ensuring a more accurate and complete dataset is sent to TikTok, which is leveraged for measurement, optimization, and targeting.
Granular control over shared data - TikTok's Events API ensures advertisers are only required to share the data that's absolutely necessary in order to meet and exceed marketing goals.
Future-proof marketing efforts - Combining a server-side implementation with a frontend TikTok Pixel ensures a sustainable transition into the evolution of the advertising industry.
Data consolidation into a single API - Increase efficiency and consistency by sending events to TikTok from all your channels.

Server-Side JSON Generation (BETA)

Starting with version 1.14.7, the extension is capable of generating Tags, Triggers and Variables for a Google Tag Manager Server-Side container, marking the beginning of the module's true Server-Side Google Analytics integration. The integration is currently in its beta phase and the functionality is limited to generating a JSON file which can be imported into an already created and configured Google Tag Manager Server-Side container to create the Tags, Triggers and Variables required for eCommerce event tracking via the server container.

The feature, in its current iteration, is geared towards advanced users who already know how to set up a server-side tracking configuration. In the future, the process will be extended and modified to feature a full plug-and-play integration process.

To use the functionality, you'll need the following:

An already-provisioned Google Tag Manager Server-Side Container
A fully configured Google Tag Manger Client-Side Container
Your GA4 Client-Side Tag configured to send data to your Server-Side container

Once the conditions above are satisfied, you can simply generate the JSON via the extension, which will create a container file with already-configured Tags, Triggers and Variables that can be imported into the Server-Side container.

In future versions, we'll also be including more in-depth guides related to Server-Side setup, however, for the time being, if you need more information, you can check out the Google Documentation on the subject.

Success.

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.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions.

What is the difference between the GA4 and Universal Analytics integrations for Magento 2?

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. It also comes with more varied tracking out of the box, as well as the possibility of more easily creating custom reports and data funnels! For the nitty-gritty technical differences, make sure you read this Google Documentation.
Do I need both a Universal Analytics Integration and GA4 Integration in order for GA4 to work correctly?

It's not required to run both integrations at the same time, however, they complement each other and GA4 is still quite new. You might find one is lacking where the other isn't, so it's highly recommended you run both at the same time. If you're using our Magento 2 Google Analytics Enhanced eCommerce UA GTM Tracking extension as well, make sure you upgrade it to the latest version to assure compatibility between the two!
Why is GA4 important and why should I use it alongside the Universal Analytics integration?

The importance of having relevant information is constantly growing and you need to keep up. The new Google Analytics 4 platform comes with more accurate reporting, cross-platform tracking, out of the box tracking for various events, and much more control over the way you view the relevant information you collect. That being said, your existing Universal Analytics integration is already set up and bringing you useful reports. Most marketers plan to still use UA as the primary measurement standard for at least the next 6 months to a year. During that time, they’ll be learning how to implement and use GA4.
Does the GA4 integration work via Google Tag Manager?

Yes! The setup and configuration, as well as the functionality is very similar to our Magento 2 Google Analytics Enhanced eCommerce UA GTM Tracking extension, meaning it's easy to install, configure and deploy so you can start measuring the information that matters.
The GA4 module is not tracking properly, what can I do?

The first step would be to make sure you've followed all the configuration steps provided on the product page here: Google Analytics 4 (GA4) with GTM Support for Magento 2. The second step is to make sure the extension is updated to the latest version, as each new release contains minor bug fixes and performance enhancements.
Where can I download the latest version of the GA4 extension?

As for any purchased extension from weltpixel.com, you can find the latest version under your weltpixel.com account's "My Downloadable Products" section.
I already have a GTM container with my own tags. Can I keep it and use the new tags as well?

We suggest creating a separate GTM containter for the new/updated tags, which you can use for production, and copying over the old tags that you may need.
Does the extension handle the implementation of dataLayer?

Yes. The extension communicates Magento data to GA4 through data Layer, which is basically the foundation upon which the module is built.
The GA4 extension overrides my template design. What can I do?

We have a very handy article that goes over this specific issue. Take a look at it here: How to solve compatibility issues - Google Tag Manager Enhanced Ecommerce.
I've just installed the module, but I can't see any data in GA. Why?

It can take up to 48 hours for data to start flowing into Google Analytics. In the meantime, double-check to make sure the configuration steps from the product page have been followed.
Does the extension show any data directly in my Magento Admin?

All reports can be seen and analyzed in the Google Analytics account. There's no section in the Magento Dashboard which allows for tracking.
Will the extension track users on my website if I have the Cookie Restriction mode enabled?

If you enable the Cookie Restriction Mode, Google Analytics will not collect data about visitors unless they have accepted cookies. This applies to any actions the user takes on your store, including placing orders. As such, if you have the Cookie Restriction mode enabled, you may find that a small percentage of orders remain untracked.
How can I make sure my data is making it into Google Analytics 4?

To find out exactly how you can check and confirm whether or not your data is making it into Google Analytics 4 and validate your configuration, you can use Google Analytics 4's built in DebugView functionality. Check out this article from our Support Center: How to preview and monitor Google Analytics 4 events using Debug View?
What is the difference between the Client ID and User ID in Google Analytics 4?

In broad terms, the Client ID is a randomly generated string of numbers that Google Analytics 4 assigns to a cookie when a visitor accesses your website. The User ID can be seen as an extension to this, which allows Google Analytics 4 to track logged in users across devices and web browsers. For a more in-depth analysis, check out this article from our Support Center: How to differentiate between Google Analytics 4 Client ID and User ID?
Is the Google Analytics 4 (GA4) module compatible with Google Analytics 360 (GA360)?

Yes, both the standard version and the PRO version of the Google Analytics 4 extension are compatible with Google Analytics 360 (GA360), right out of the box.
