Are orders reaching GA4 in full? Checking the store side of tracking
Situation
The agency had implemented tracking through GTM and a store module. It needed an answer: was order data reaching GA4 in full, and what exactly did the module collect.
What I did
I analyzed the module, the database, a cron job and order
statuses for places where data could go missing. I checked
what the module collected, including the identifiers linking
an event to a user. I verified purchase events
resent by the cron job against GA4's reports, since this
module had no way to enable debug mode. I tested the flow on
production orders, then checked that the cron job was
actually set up.
