- - Understand how people browse (view_item_list)
- - Measure product engagement (view_item)
- - Optimise retargeting (add_to_cart/remove_from_cart)
- - Recover abandoned carts (beging_checkout,add_pageyment info/add_shipping_info)
- - Track sales accurately (purchase)
- - Understand returns better (refund)
Track the entire customer journey. Identify the bottlenecks. Fix the issues that cost you sales more effectively.
Know Exactly What Works and What Doesn’t
Guessing which products drive sales, where customers drop off or what coupons generate the most revenue is expensive.
Magento Google Tag Manager gives you certainty. It tracks every crucial detail in your store automatically:
- - Product performance: which products are viewed, added to the cart/wishlist, abandoned or purchased
- - Checkout performance: what checkout step causes cart abandonment
- - Customer store behaviour: how customers register, log in, search and interact with your store
This data allows you to make informed decisions, refine your campaigns and optimise where it matters most.
Build Custom GA4 Reports to Analyse What Matters
Default GA 4 reports rarely show the full story. Key details about customers, orders, pages and traffic sources are often hidden or missed entirely.
Magento GTM Extension sends rich event parameters with every interaction. So, why not use it to customise your reports?
Analyse performance based on item IDs, tax and shipping amounts, page types, customer IDs and multiple other details. No custom tagging, no manual work.
Turn raw tracking data into actionable insights to optimise with confidence.
Track Data Even When AdBlockers Block You
Cookie restrictions and ad blockers often cause lost revenue and inaccurate reports.
But they won’t, if you enable the server-side tracking in Magento through GA4 Measurement Protocol or GTM Server Container.
This Magento 2 Google Tag Manager extension to switch from client-side easily. Use server-side tagging to capture missing purchases only or the entire funnel.
Make smarter marketing decisions based on reliable and complete data. Not assumptions.
