If your dataLayer conforms to the GA3 guidelines, then this solution is likely to work effectively.<\/p>\n<p>I would also like to give a shoutout to Simo Ahava for developing a template that fulfils a critical requirement by transforming GA3 dataLayer items into a format that can be easily read and understood by GA4.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Check out the steps below.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1.\u00a0Navigate to the Variables tab and select &#8220;New&#8221; option under the User-Defined variables section.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2513\" src=\"\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0004_setting-up-ga4-ecommerce-step-1.png\" alt=\"setting up ga4 ecommerce step 1\" width=\"952\" height=\"468\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>2. Access the variable configuration and select &#8220;Discover more variable types&#8221; in the Community Template Gallery. Next, search for &#8220;GA4&#8221; and locate the EEC Products -&gt; GA4 Items template created by Simo Ahava.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2512\" src=\"\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0003_setting-up-ga4-ecommerce-step-2.png\" alt=\"setting up ga4 ecommerce step 2\" width=\"958\" height=\"387\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Once you have located the EEC Products -&gt; GA4 Items template, add it to your workspace and save it. Ensure that you don&#8217;t make any alterations to the template and save it as &#8220;EEC Products -&gt; GA4 Items&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2511\" src=\"\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0002_setting-up-ga4-ecommerce-step-3.png\" alt=\"setting up ga4 ecommerce step 3\" width=\"951\" height=\"509\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>3. Generate variables for Items, Transaction ID, Value, Tax, Shipping, Currency, and Coupon. To accomplish this, click on &#8220;New Variable&#8221; and search for &#8220;DataLayer variable&#8221;. Please note that the codes used for these variables will differ depending on the structure of your dataLayer. In most of my e-commerce accounts, I have utilised &#8220;ecommerce.tax&#8221; or &#8220;ecommerce.value&#8221; with successful outcomes.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2510\" src=\"\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0001_setting-up-ga4-ecommerce-step-4.png\" alt=\"setting up ga4 ecommerce step 4\" width=\"954\" height=\"385\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>4. The code for &#8220;items&#8221; may remain the same as before, which is &#8220;ecommerce.items&#8221;, or it could be slightly different, depending on your dataLayer structure. If this applies to you, raise a custom JacaScript for:<\/p>\n<p>function() {<\/p>\n<p>var ecom = {{Ecommerce}};<\/p>\n<p>if ( ecom &amp;&amp; ecom.items ) {<\/p>\n<p>return ecom.items;<\/p>\n<p>} else {<\/p>\n<p>return undefined;<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>}<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>5. It\u2019s possible to create a single tag for all events, which will resemble the following format:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2509\" src=\"\/ae\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/0000_setting-up-ga4-ecommerce-step-5.png\" alt=\"setting up ga4 ecommerce step 5\" width=\"955\" height=\"594\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>6. Your trigger will be a customised event, and you can create a single trigger for all events.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Event Name:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>view_item | view_item_list | select_item | add_to_cart | remove_from_cart | view_cart | begin_checkout | add_payment_info | add_shipping_info | purchase<\/p>\n<p>These are the steps to raise GA4 eCommerce events. It is crucial to understand that this method may not be compatible with all eCommerce platforms. You must have a purchase event or add_shipping event in the dataLayer for this method to function. We have had success with this approach in approximately 80% of our accounts.<\/p>\n<p>Looking for professional assistance with your <a href=\"\/ae\/services\/ppc\/\">PPC campaigns<\/a>?
