“I’m facing issues tracking ecommerce sales and total revenue in Google Analytics 4 (GA4). I’ve tried both Google Tag Manager (GTM) and the WooCommerce Analytics plugin to send data to GA4.

Despite successful data flow confirmation in GTM and the plugin, ecommerce events and revenue are not appearing in GA4. I’ve followed troubleshooting steps for both platforms and checked data layer implementation.

Key Issues:

• No ecommerce sales or total revenue data in GA4
• Data layer inspection shows unexpected values (attached image)
• Sales journey data is missing

I’ve tried test purchase using ingonito and my usual chrome browser while not logged in as admin to the site, also test purchase from other people and their phone or desk top. All info arrives but no Sales Journey and any sales revenue.

Resolved it, the plugin was reverting to a Merchant Centre not in use, no matter how many times I set it to correct account it flipped back upon close down. I deleted the google account, unlinked everything in the plugin and started again, this time it synced with the account that was entered.

thanks

Frustrated with WooCommerce & Google Integration!

Anyone else feeling the struggle of getting WooCommerce and Google to play nicely together?

WooCommerce says adding Google Listings takes 20 minutes, but that’s not the whole story. They gloss over the need for a Google Merchant account (fine!), but then push a Google Ads account during signup (not helpful!).

The tagging and tracking instructions are all over the place! “Do this, do that…” Four days of frustration later, I’m still stuck!

Here’s the kicker: Google Support says it’s all WooCommerce’s problem, and the WooCommerce “community” points fingers back at Google.

Meanwhile, my local agency is thriving on Shopify. Makes you wonder, right?

Is anyone out there successfully using WooCommerce, Google Listings, and maybe even Google Ads? How did you get it all to work together?

Is Shopify really the better option in 2024? Let’s discuss!

P.S. Huge shoutout to that local agency for smashing it with Shopify!
