matching the records

How Shopify and Google Analytics records line up

Shopify and Google Analytics both carry an order or transaction number. When the same number appears on both sides the match is exact, one Shopify record to one Google Analytics record, with no guessing about which customer it was.

Shopify and Google Analytics can both hold the Google click ID that Google Ads adds to the landing page URL when auto-tagging is on. That ties one paid click to what the same visitor did afterwards.

Shared between the two: the order or transaction number, the Google click ID (gclid) and the UTM campaign tags.

What each tool sees on its ownShow less

Shopify on its own

Shopify sees the order and the landing page. It has no view of the ad impressions, emails or searches that came before that session.

Timing. Shopify writes each order the moment it is placed, including the landing page and referring site of the session that bought.

Access. Read-only access through the Shopify Admin API, approved from the store admin.

Google Analytics on its own

GA4 sees what people do on the site. It does not see refunds, repeat purchases made offline, or the deal a lead turned into later.

Timing. GA4 collects events in near real time, and Google says standard reports can take 24 to 48 hours to finish processing.

Access. The GA4 Data API with read access to the property.
