GA-4 Analytics [Support Thread]

It didn't fix the delay on checkout.. I tried changing to basic Template, Responsive Template, and back to Bootstrap.. used OPC and took OPC off.

I am thinking it may be a slow database issue. I'll do some homework and get back to this.

The checkout-delay is normally (both OPC and not) dependent on the number of external shipping modules (e.g. USPS, UPS, FedEx) the store uses. Each transition (for 3-page checkout) or page-refresh (for OPC) during the checkout process normally requires a poll of all enabled shipping methods.

I have some silly questions regarding this plug-in and adwords conversion tracking.

In the readme guide of this plug-in, it is said: "Make sure that you did not add some Google tracking scripts anywhere manually in your Zen Cart files."

So I need to remove all the GA/GA4 and conversion related code from my site at first, then install the plug-in. After that, how can I track the conversion? Only rely on the data from GA4? What is the best way to track the conversion (adwords) and analyze the site (GA4) at the same time?

As a background, my site is current using the following code to track the conversion. I used to use google tag manager but it seems it cannot get the order amount. This following code can report the order amount properly.

That's what I did - remove all older tracking code, install GA4, then modify your Adwords Goal to use GA4 conversion data

Thanks for sharing your idea. I will try your way then.
