Hello Shopify, Can you please provide us with a fully working example with web pixel extension and GTM? At the moment I am able to get the custom event in my web pixel code. but to send those data GTM. I am not able to do it. I have tried below code:- import {register} from '@shopify/web-pixels-…

I am also looking for for guidance on using GTM with the Web Pixel extension. The docs are not clear and the tutorial is outdated. I wish someone would just post a working example on git.

@Arnold-fang Our Shopify Launch Engineer told us that Web Pixels are not intended for GTM and that we should use Custom Pixels instead.
