Shopify

The Shopify implementation works by editing the native Shopify Google Analytics configuration to send data to the SegmentStream server which then forwards the data to your Google Analytics 4 property.

If you are using Shopify but have connected Google Analytics 4 through GTM, please follow this guide - Basic GTM.

Inside the admin panel navigate to Settings > Events Tracking.

Click on the field containing the Server Container URL to copy its value to your clipboard and click SAVE.

Edit your Shopify configuration

Click Google from the left side menu.

Enter the following code in the head of the file, replacing G-XXXXXXXXXX with the ID copied from step 3, and ENDPOINT with the value of the Server Container URL field found in your SegmentStream project.
