Google Analytics 4 integration with Magento 1x

[friz38]

How do I set up the Magento 1x store with Google Analytics 4, currently it's working with Universal Analytics and I want to shift to GA4. I have tried adding the GA4 as per the google instructions but Google is not picking it up.

Setting up Magento 1x store with Google Analytics 4 (GA4) requires a few steps. Here's what you need to do to make the switch:

1. Create a GA4 property: If you haven't already, create a GA4 property in your Google Analytics account. This will provide you with a GA4 tracking code that you'll need for the next step.

2. Install the GA4 tracking code: Log in to your Magento 1x store's admin panel, go to System > Configuration > Sales > Google API, and paste your GA4 tracking code in the GA Code field. Save your changes.

3. Verify the tracking code: To check if the GA4 tracking code is installed correctly, go to the Google Analytics Debugger Chrome extension, refresh your Magento store's frontend, and see if the tracking code appears in the debugger.

4. Set up data migration: If you want to migrate your Universal Analytics data to GA4, you'll need to set up a data stream in GA4. Go to your GA4 property, click on Admin, then Data Streams, and follow the instructions to set up a data stream for your Magento 1x store.

5. Update the tracking code: After you've set up the data stream, update the GA4 tracking code in your Magento store's admin panel to include the data stream ID.

6. Monitor the data migration: After a few days, check your GA4 reports to see if your data from Universal Analytics has been successfully migrated. If not, there may be a problem with the data stream.

hope it helps ,do upvote.

you have 2 ways here

1. if you added UA manually to your M1 code you could just remove it and paste GA4 (https://barwenock.com/blog/how-to-migrate-from-universal-analytics-to-ga4/ )

2. if you use GTM - just replace UA with GA4 and release a new tag 

3. Maybe you forgot to clean the cache

4. Check Live Report on GA

default answer here is:

Hey there! I recently tackled the Google Analytics 4 integration with Magento 1x, and I get the struggle. First off, make sure you've followed Google's instructions to the T, especially updating your tracking code. It's common to face hiccups in data detection during the transition. Double-check your setup in the Magento admin panel, ensuring the GA4 tracking code is correctly inserted. Sometimes, clearing caches might help. If Google isn't picking it up, give it a bit of time; the data might take a while to flow through. Also, don't forget to check your GA4 property settings for any issues. Good luck!
