Sometimes it takes a bit for Google Analytics 4 to start showing data, so a little patience might be needed. As for Google Tag Manager, you can use the same Google account, but you need to create a new container for your site within the manager. The scripts they gave you for the manager are different because they allow additional tracking features beyond what basic GA offers. You should replace the original GA script with the Tag Manager scripts on all pages.

Without being able to see the actual code and the webpage, it’s quite challenging to determine the specific issue. However, the problem may stem from an incorrect implementation of the function or script that assigns the index for each line item. It’s possible that your implementation doesn’t allow the index to increment for each successive line item, resulting in the same index being assigned to each one. One possible solution is to ensure that your indexing function or script increments properly for each line item. Additionally, you should verify that the element you’re assigning the index to exists and is correctly identified in your function. Make sure to always test your code and check results after modifying. If you’re still having trouble, consider asking for help in a coding or Google Tag Manager forum, where you can provide your specific code for better assistance.

Yes, it certainly can be challenging to get GA4 and Stape correctly configured especially if the data doesn’t show as expected. Here are some tips you might find helpful. First, double check your setup. Make sure the GA4 Measurement ID in Stape matches exactly with the one in your Google Analytics account. Also, ensure that the server URL in the Site Kit web tag is correct. Ensure that Stape’s container is published and the right version is live. Second, test your setup. You can use the Google Tag Assistant to check if the tags are firing correctly on your site. If they are, but the data is still not showing, it might be a delay on the GA4 side. GA4 sometimes takes up to 24 hours to process and display the data. Lastly, check your server logs in Stape for any errors or issues. If you are still unable to see the data in GA4, it may be worth reaching out to Stape’s support for additional help.

You might be experiencing a data sampling issue. When you add more dimensions to your API query, Google Analytics sometimes uses a smaller subset of data to give you the result (especially when dealing with vast amounts of data). That might make the result a bit different from the full picture you get when you pull just the session numbers. Worth looking into!

According to the documentation you’ve mentioned, an events_YYYYMMDD table should be created and filled in for each day, and an events_intraday_YYYYMMDD table for the current day should exists. The events_intraday_YYYYMMDD table is filled continuously throughout the day and should be deleted when its corresponding events_YYYYMMDD table is complete. However, if you only see events_intraday_YYYYMMDD tables for past days, it seems like the process is not functioning as stated in the documentation. You might want to reach out to Google support for further assistance on this issue. You should not have to manually back this up according to the provided documentation.

In very simple terms, Data Studio isn’t cool with adding up things like clicks straight in the platform, especially if you’re trying to get a sum of the event values for each page URL. Instead, create a calculated field in Google Analytics for click ‘value’ and then use that as your metric in Data Studio. This way, the summing up is done by Google Analytics, not Data Studio. It’s like asking your sister to do your chores instead of your brother because your brother has his hands full already!
