Total cart value is a string not numeric

Hi,

I’ve updated to 1.13.1 and have edited my UA GTM setup as you detailed in the help article.

I am running GA4 in parallel but am having some problems with the setup.

My issue is that in the view_cart dataLayer push, the value of ecommerce.value (total value of cart items) is a string rather than numeric. Each individual item price is correctly numeric.

Here is an example snippet:

dataLayer.push({
  event: "view_cart",
  ecommerce: {
    currency: "EUR",
    value: "2857.00",
    items: [
      {
        item_id: "AT-LPW30TK",
        item_name: "Audio-Technica AT-LPW30TK",
        item_brand: "Audio-technica",
        price: 339,
        item_category: "Tocadiscos",
        quantity: 1,
        google_business_vertical: "retail",
        id: "AT-LPW30TK"
      },

Could it be something to do with having GA4 and UA running together? In the plugin settings I still have checked “Enhanced eCommerce” which I presume is to keep UA working correctly.

Thanks for any help with this.
