Please follow these steps:
UpTag will not display on your store until you enable the app embed. Please go to your Shopify theme editor then turn on UpTag app in the App embeds section and click 'SAVE'.
For creating a new Google Tag Manager account yet, please check out this document.
For a new Google Analytics 4 account, please check out this document.
To get your Google Analytics 4 tracking ID, please follow these steps:
Go to your Analytics account > Open Admin > Find Data Streams in the column Property
Click to open Data Streams > Get your GA4 Measurement ID
Go to the Shopify Settings > Copy the tracking code on the app and add the section “Custom events”
(Applied if your store have not switched to the extensibility checkout)
Open your Shopify Admin > Go to the Checkout folder > Paste the script at Order status page.
After completing all the above settings, you can install Google Tag Assistant to check if the app is working
Enable Tag Assistant Click on that little blue smiley icon and a new popup will appear with 2 main options, Enable and Record:
Click Enable Once you click enable, you’ll notice that the popup changes, but nothing else really
Refresh your page If you have Google tags on that page, the little smiley face will change to a number, this is the number of tags you have
Look to see which tags are firing When you click on the Tag Assistant Icon, the pop-up will then show you which tags are running
When you see your tags in Tag Assistant, you’ll see that the icon changes depending on if there are any issues or not. The face also goes from a smiling face to a grimace, which I presume is meant to be cute, but actually looks it was designed by children. This is what the colors mean:
Green (Smiley Face)
Everything is working as expected and you have no issues
Blue (Slight Grimace)
Yellow (Tongue sticking out)
Another implementation error. The tag will probably work, but the data might not be correct. Definitely check it out.
Red (Sad Face)
Major error. The tag won’t work, you need to fix this asap.
This means its working, but there’s a non-standard implementation error on it. This is normally fine, and your tags should work, but worth checking out. As an FYI, this will always be shown for Google Analytics when it’s being fired through GTM, as the standard implantation is code on the site. Don’t worry though, this is fine.
