Magento and Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Creating Events and Conversions
Does anyone know how to create basic e-commerce events for conversions in GA4? Things like 'add to cart', 'purchase' etc.
Magento does not have any documentation yet for GA4 and was hoping to get some basic events and conversions set up.
