If I added Google Analytics GA4 Configuration via Google Tag Manager, should I follow these instructions https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/support/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=114351 for adding the code to each page? Would that duplicate the efforts?

I've set up GA4 per instructions, but I am not seeing any conversions. I do see page_views, etc, but not a single conversion is registered.
I am double tagging so my old GA is still registering conversions correctly.
Please advise.

Vince, I'm using incectstyle.php and I have the Measurement ID in my settings. GA4 shows it is getting traffic information but Thanks.php is not sending any conversions. When I check the source code I see this but not in GA4
<script>gtag("event","purchase",{ currency:"USD",value:25.95,shipping:5.5,tax:2.6,items:[{item_id:'AS-Assos-Chamois-Creme',item_name:'Assos Chamois Creme 200ml',index:1,item_brand:'Assos',item_category:'Cycling Apparel',price:25.95,quantity:1}]});</script>
What is worse, my Universal Analytics stopped collecting conversions as well. All other data is being collected. I see Realtime users on the site data is being sent to both GA4 and UA. Seems like all pages but the Thanks.php are working.
Let me know how I can reach out to you directly to get some help. Thank you.

Hi Ebp I think I see what the problem is and I've made a change to the incectstyle.php script to correct this, but a simple workaround for now would be to just add this to your includes.php file... $GLOBALS['googletagid']='YOURGTAGID'; You have to make sure that the incectstyle.php script comes after the other include files. If this doesn't sort it out (just refresh the page and do a View Source and search for "gtag()" in the header) then please send an email to vince AT ecommercetemplates DOT com Vince Click Here for Shopping Cart SoftwareClick Here to sign up for our newsletterClick Here for the latest updater |

Almost there :) I added the line to my includes.php and I finally see the gtag is at the top of the page. GA4 registered 'purchase' event but didn't show value. Maybe I need to wait in case there is a delay. My Universal Analytics is still not registering the events, so I went to my admin settings and removed Global Site Tag. I placed a new order and now I see that my thanks.php is fireing correclty for UA with following code at the bottom.
<!-- #BeginEditable "footer" -->
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('require','ecommerce','ecommerce.js');
ga('ecommerce:addTransaction',{'id':'18762','affiliation':'','revenue':'25.95','shipping':'5.5','tax':'2.6'});
ga('ecommerce:addItem',{'id':'18762','name':'Assos Chamois Creme 200ml','sku':'AS-Assos-Chamois-Creme','category':'Cycling Apparel','price':'25.95','quantity':'1'});
ga('ecommerce:send');
</script>
<!-- #EndEditable -->
However, the page is not registering GA4 purchase event. It seems that as soon as I put back the Global Site Tag in admin settings, the opposite happens. Is there a way to double tag as suggested by Google so I can keep both of them for a while? When Global Site Tag is added to Admin, here is how the UA code looks like on Thanks.php instead of sending ecom conversion.
<!-- #BeginEditable "footer" -->
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){
(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('require','ecommerce','ecommerce.js');
</script>
<!-- #EndEditable -->

I have also gone to https://www.ecommercetemplates.com/phphelp/ecommplus/parameters.asp#analytics following these directions and tried replacing my current UA code but the result is the same. UA is not generating the ecommerce code portion.

That code you posted is what I would expect if the googtletagid had not been set so now I'm not sure if this is from when you removed it or not. I didn't really think there was a need to display both sets of statistics so the code was such that if you were using the new GA4 analytics then the old wouldn't show. But I've changed that now in the v7.5 incthanks.php file so if you get a new copy of that (you can use the v7.5 incthanks.php even if you are on v7.4) then it should display both while we sort this out.

Vince, maybe I was too quick to download. incthanks.php shows March 4, 2022 stamp. Let me know when it's ready and I'll test again.

Thank you Vince. I got a fresh one and it's all working now.
I did find a bug in the IP blocking code since I was on checkout too many times.
Warning: Undefined variable $ppbits in ..../public_html/vsadmin/inc/inccart.php on line 4449
This happens when IP is blocked. Before the upgrade there was a user friendly message thrown.
Let me know if I should file that under a new topic.

$GLOBALS['googletagid']='YOURGTAGID';
So rather than add incectstyle.php or the analytics code to every page I can just add that line to the includes.php and add the G4 ID in the main settings?  *Contact Us**Buy The PHP Capture Card Plugin**Rate Our Services/View Our Feedback* |

Hi Phil You don't need to use incectstyle.php but if you don't you will need to add something like this to the head... <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=YOUR_GA4_TAGID"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag(\'js\', new Date()); gtag(\'config\', \'' . $GLOBALS['googletagid'] . '\'); </script> } The only reason for adding the tag id to the includes.php is because the incectstyle.php wasn't reading the tag id from the admin database column. Just setting it in the ECT Admin should be ok. And now I've fixed incectstyle.php to read from the database.
