How to Add GA4 (Google Analytics 4 ver 2021) to Shopify site?

Fumbled my way here and there but here’s how I figured it out:

1. Create new property
2. Copy the Global Tag settings

1. The old way is getting UA-xxx, plug the code inside using Online Store > Preferrence > Google Analytics. It doesn’t work that way anymore, insead, you will get this error.This is where I started tinkering around and finally insert the tag. Read on….
2. Go to Oneline Store > Theme > Edit Code. BE VERY VERY CAREFUL HERE!!!!

1. Template.liquid . Look for head opening code line. Paste in there.

1. Once you copy-paste it. It should be total of 9 lines. SAVE of course!
2. TEST:

   6.2 Refresh
   6.3 Check installation / trackers

1. ABOVE WORKS for a Corporate site and IF your website is in WORDPRESS. However, if your site is on SHOPIFY — continue to Step 7:
2. Ecommerce sales data variables such as order ID, currency total price, shipping price, tax and sending it to Google Analytics 4 to record the sales. Paste it here:

1. Move to Debug & Verification

Voila!
