Before I used Mollie as my payment provider, but because of the extra transaction fees and about 30 percent missing conversions I changed to Shopify Payments. Now I have about 95% accuracy for conversion vs real orders in Shopify so that goes well. But now the conversions from direct traffic increa…

@Dutchiemixed Yes, indeed. Seems like exactly the same problem. I did some further research on the suggestion of @Josh_Uebergang and asked Shopify (based on his links) what they can do about their part of the suggested steps in the articles. But it seems that they don’t want or can’t do anything. —…

@SanderVelden thanks for replying. if they say it is a google thing it means there is not solution. Google tag manager is only for shopify plus. I’m going to try GA4. Let’s see if this solves anything. @Josh_Uebergang any tips or new work arounds for this? Thanks in advance! Regarding the reacti…

Yes maybe then there is no solution. Only with Google Tag Manager in Shopify Plus. But I asked them if they can give a response in this topic based on the experiences with the users of the other topics. At least it would be nice to have the confirmation if your assumption of Google Tag Manager is co…

There is no native Shopify integration for GA4. I’ve seen some people try to roll out GA4 in the past few months and they have all been piss-poor implementations with no advantage. You can insert Tag Manager into the Additional JavaScript section of Shopify. Though in the past month, Shopify’s poli…

@Josh_Uebergang Thanks for the reply and good to know that Google Tag Manager might be something to consider / try via the additional javascript section. But I guess your suggestion that it might have something to do with the 2-minute cross-domain window will not be solved by using GTM right? It th…

@Josh_Uebergang I did some further reading on the link you sent and I added below code to the Additional Google Analytics Javascript in Shopify: // Loads the Linker plugin ga(‘require’, ‘linker’); // Instructs the Linker plugin to automatically add linker parameters ga(‘linker:autoLink’, [‘ strip…

@Dutchiemixed Do you already found a solution? I tried a few things and tested it for a week everytime but it’s still not solved.

Hi, Well the difference in conversions happen because of the apple pay/google pay solutions Shopify offers. This is the reason why there is a difference. I let go of finding a solution. What you can do is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoeis7WHc_s Cheers!

Thanks for the reply, that seems something different than my problem, but good to know :slightly_smiling_face: Have a nice day.

Did any of you found a solution? Normally with other webshops and paymentproviders I’m able to fix it bij adding a ?utm_nooverride=1 parameter on the return url, but that’s nog possible right now. Or maybe do I mis something? Cheers!
