Reported Conversions do not match number of orders

[FCZ]

Been having this issue where the number of sessions converted reported by Shopify is way off the number of actual orders. Never had this issue until the 27th of March and since then the number of sessions converted has never matched the number of orders again. Reached out to Shopify multiple times and they said its due to cookie consent but that shouldn't cause such a major change from the 27th onwards. 

Does anyone know a potential fix for this?

Hi @FCZ,

Have you actually tried to remove the cookie consent (just test-wise) to see if that causes the issue?
We also get some reporting discrepancies between the sheets. 

What worked for me (not in all cases though):
Using GA4 through a Big Query Export and seeing whether we get an actual difference -> then investigate further

Hey, yes I actually had no cookie consent for a while to see if there was any change but unfortunately there was not. 

Thanks for your suggestion, I will try that out on GA4 but my main issue is what caused this sudden discrepancy on shopify.

Hi - did you ever resolve this? We are having the same issue and Shopify says its a known error but it still hasnt been resolved and we are keen to get our tracking correct!

Hey, unfortunately not. We've had chats with multiple support reps and they all say the same thing (cookie consent, IOS, etc etc) which I know is not the issue. I have also recently reached out to the creator of our website theme to see if they can look into it as well. If you find any solution please let me know, it would help out a tonne.
