What causes duplicate ga4 configuration tags on Shopify?

Multiple Google Tag configurations are firing with the same Measurement ID (G-XXXXXXX). On Shopify this commonly happens because the platform ships its own analytics layer that overlaps with a hand-installed GTM container, or because plugins/apps add their own GA4 tags without coordinating with the existing setup.
