Improved Google Analytics App to include conversions

The current Google Analytics App seems to require the tracking id found under the property. However, the Google Analytics 4 property id does not appear to work. Note Google Analytics 4 does not have a tracking id. Does the Google Analytics app need to be updated to support v4?

Upgrade Google Analytics app

Huib Geerlings

Upgrade app to latest google analytics version and auto-integrate the eCommerce tracking instead of the limited current event goals functionality.

You can configure it by yourselves with the GTM and GA4 snippet.

Andrija Krstic

Setting up event-based tracking might call for setting up a custom event first in the GTM and using that one to track goals.

Please also note that, if you're using Subbly to embed the product checkouts onto the external site in the form of the modal checkout (popup), executing the JS on the success page won't work and thus conversion tracking won't work as well.

Conversions on GA will need to be setup by:

Setting up Goals under GA (either event-based or destination-based, I'd prefer the first option though...)
Copying the conversion code to the Subbly's admin Marketing > Conversion Tracking

We will look into improving the native app to include the conversions by default. For just now, the App Store app is only tracking page views.

Andrija Krstic: I do not believe tracking page views works with Google Analytics 4. Please provide what the steps to make Google Analytics 4 work with the App Store app if you believe Google Analytics 4 should work. My experience was that Google Analytics 4 has a property id not a tracking id and the property id does not work with the App Store app.

Andrija Krstic

Dylan: Not familiar with the GA4 but it should work by simply copying the GA Property ID to the App Store. I will double check if it works.

Huib Geerlings

Andrija Krstic: It does not. I got it to work with the event based goals, which are very limited. The app really needs to be upgraded so it automatically ties into the Google Analytics eCommerce tracking.

I can't get GA4 to work either.

Jacob Jordan

Agree with this! I can't get conversions to show up on GA, even after following all the steps.
