Before proceeding with the setup of GA4 on Shopify using the Google Sales Channel (also known as Native Shopify GA4 Integration), it’s important to consider the potential downsides (missing reports, missing values, missing events, lack of support) that we’ve previously outlined. If the Google app is already installed and in use on your Shopify, you can start from step 3.
If you don’t have a GA4 account set up yet or haven’t adjusted the necessary settings, please jump to the section where we provide a step-by-step guide for this process.
Now, let’s begin:
Step 1
Install Google & Youtube Sales Channel
If Google & YouTube (previously known as Google Sales Channel) is already installed on your Shopify app store, you may proceed directly to step 3. If not, please install this app from the Shopify app store first.
Step 2
Start Connecting to GA4
If Google & YouTube (previously known as Google Sales Channel) is already installed on your Shopify app store, you may proceed directly to step 3. If not, please install this app from the Shopify app store first.
Step 3

Proceed to authenticate your Google account. Following this, select your desired GA4 property and click ‘Connect’.
Step 4
