Kit Part 1: Data Layers

Open-source data layers for Shopify merchants - created by true experts.

No secrets, no external files, and no behind-the-door actions.

You can get access to the data layers through the following links. We keep the elements in their own pages so that we can maintain them with ease.

Do not follow the tutorials that are given on the data layer pages. The tutorials for the Shopify GA4 Kit have a different flow, and can be accessed through here.

Shopify "Purchase" Data Layer

Analyzify's open source purchase data layer passes the order data into GTM and makes it available to use for all tags. On the Shopify GA4 kit, we use it to run GA4's e-commerce purchase events. The same data layer and variables can be used in all sorts of purchase conversion events, such as: Google Ads, Facebook Pixel, or Bing Ads Conversion.

The purchase data layer includes the following elements:

Order-level	Purchased Product-level
Currency	Product name
Total value	Product price
Shipping price	Purchase quantity
Tax value
Transaction ID
Payment Type

Shopify "Product" Data Layer

This data layer can be used for product view events. On our tutorials, you will see that we set GA4's view item event to make the e-commerce product reports available.

The product data layer includes the following elements:

Product view data layer
Product name	Product brand
Product price	Product category
Product ID	Purchase quantity
