How to configure Google Analytics 4 in Magento 2.4.4-p2

Question

I want to configure Google Analytics 4 in my Magento 2.4.4-p2 version.

Is there any way to configure it in Magento 2.4.4-p2?

I know Magento already provides this functionality in 2.4.6 but I want to configure it in 2.4.4-p2.

Here is the script for Google Analytics:

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-DNJN1PF3CS"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXX');
</script>

I'm looking for this type of script for Google Analytics 4

I don't want to use 3rd party Extension, Also I review the Magento2.4.6 code and Found There is New Module Magento_GoogleGtag For Google Analytics 4.

Answer 1

There is a free module available by Yireo that supports Google Analytics 4. It supports versions 2.3.7 or higher and 2.4.1 or higher.

This module is a great module and highly recommended by the Magento community. You can take a look at: https://github.com/yireo/Yireo_GoogleTagManager2

Answer 2

As you may already be aware, Magento provides Google Analytics 4 integration starting from Magento 2.4.6. However, there are two ways to achieve this

integration:

Recommended method:

1. Utilize a third-party extension that is available for all Magento extensions. Personally, I use the WeltPixel GA4 extension, which can be found at the following link: https://www.weltpixel.com/google-analytics-enhanced-ecommerce-tag-manager-magento-2.html

Not Recommended method:

2. Extract the extension code from the vendor folder of Magento 2.4.6 and place it in your Magento setup's app/code directory, ensuring that you include the required libraries.

To identify the necessary libraries and basic requirements, refer to the composer.json file of the Magento Google Analytics extension.

I hope this clarifies the steps required for integrating Google Analytics 4 into Magento 2.4.4

Answer 3

I checked and found it on the Google Analytics Platform just i need to add this script to Every page

<!-- Google tag (gtag.js) -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXXXX"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXXX');
</script>

Although Magento does provide the GA4 functionality it's not that extended. You still need to connect GTM separately and create all the events there.

So I'd recommend using the ready-made Magefan GTM Extension for Magento. It come switch the pre-built GTM tags, triggers and variables. All you need is just tweak a few options and the import the generated JSON file to your GTM account.

It's super easy to install and use. Here's the commands you can use to install it:

composer require magefan/module-google-tag-manager
php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento setup:di:compile
php bin/magento setup:static-content:deploy
