Missing GA4 E-commerce Events in Shopify
If your Shopify sales aren't matching Google Analytics 4, you might have missing e-commerce events like add_to_cart or begin_checkout.

How it manifests
Shopify's move to Checkout Extensibility means older `checkout.liquid` tracking scripts no longer work. Furthermore, Ajax cart drawers in custom themes often bypass standard page load events, requiring custom GTM listeners for cart interactions.
Missing E-commerce Events
FAILEDCritical GA4 e-commerce events (e.g., add_to_cart, begin_checkout, purchase) are not being tracked or lack required item parameters.
Why It Matters
Without complete e-commerce tracking, you cannot calculate Return on Ad Spend (ROAS), build retargeting audiences based on cart abandonment, or understand product performance.
How To Fix It
Implement a proper data layer push for all commerce steps. Ensure the payload matches the official GA4 schema (ecommerce.items array with item_id, item_name, price, etc.).
