Google Analytics

Good morning,

Since the new Google Analytics, I'm very confused.  

In your Zazzle's shop, under Tracking and Analytics, do you put the Streaming ID or the Measurement ID?

Is there anything else I need to do?

Thank you.

It's the Measuremement ID that you need

From google analytics , go to cog - data streams and click on your stream name. It will list the stream name/url ID and the Measurement ID - it's that one that you put under the advanced settings in your zazzle store under Google Analytics Tracking ID box - press submit to save.

It takes a while for data to come through so patience is key

Thank you very much for this Sara. I was - and am still - so confused with these tracking IDs not working, now I know why. Hopefully it will work properly now...

@TMGEE as long as you hit save once you enter the GA4 Measurement ID in your store settings - and wait, you'll see data flowing through Google Analytics . It's not immediate but will appear.

And, just looking for confirmation the new GA4 Measurement ID replaces the UA code currently set-up (if you did it).

@LDS222 yes - tick Enable Google Analytics option in your store's advanced settings and enter your GA4 measurement id in the 'Google Analytics Tracking ID (UA-XXXXXXX-X):" box

Hi!  New to Google Analytics. If we use Pinterest or any of the other social media platforms to advertise our Zazzle shop, should we somehow be linking our GA numbers to those sites to measure activity?  Thank you!
