Understand what this lesson solves

Basic full lesson

Ask three questions first: are you checking health, investigating one anomaly, or reconciling orders and profit? Use the report chooser to decide when to start in Reports, when to open Explore, and when to move to BigQuery / Shopify.

Learn GA4 for Shopify ecommerce: setup, ecommerce events, purchase and transaction_id QA, Consent Mode, UTM, Google Ads reconciliation, landing page and funnel analysis, audiences, offline events, Explorations, and revenue/profit review so GA4 becomes a reviewable operating evidence system.

Lesson outline

  1. 1Write the business question before opening reports
  2. 2Triage the question into three types first
  3. 3Use the reporting route table to choose the starting layer
  4. 4Check the data quality boundary and evidence escalation ladder

Public core framework

  • Write one question, such as whether paid social orders dropped, which mobile checkout step is leaking, or why GA4 revenue and Shopify sales differ. Use the GA4 three-question report chooser to record the question, responsible lead, and check window.
  • Classify it as routine inspection, cause investigation, or serious reconciliation. Routine inspection starts in Reports. Cause investigation moves to Explore / Explorations.
