Edge cases + gotchas

  • Your own visits are counted. Browsing and test orders from your team show up in GA4. In GA4 you can filter out your office IP under Admin → Data streams → Configure tag settings → Define internal traffic.
  • Old UA- IDs are ignored. Only G- IDs work.
  • Google Tag Manager users. If you also run GTM with its own GA4 tag, you will count everything twice. Use either this module or GTM for GA4, not both.
  • Multiple currencies. Events are sent in the currency the shopper is browsing in. Set your GA4 property currency to your main currency (₹); GA4 converts the rest.
  • Refunds and cancellations are not sent to GA4, so GA4 revenue can be higher than what you kept.
  • Own domain. If you move from your cartwhizz.com address to your own domain, add the new address to your GA4 data stream so referrals are not counted as outside traffic.
  • Cookie banner declined. That visitor is invisible to GA4. This is expected.
