Public preview
Understand what this lesson solves
Use a GA4 audience decision table to define include/exclude, membership windows, exclusions, consent, usable size, and refresh checks before Ads, Email, Meta, or analysis-only use.
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
- 1Write the GA4 audience operations decision table first
- 2Validate source events and order fields
- 3Write include, Exclude filter, and membership window together
- 4Choose the exit and write the audience reuse boundary map
- 5Rebuild target-platform fields
Public core framework
- Define the next move for one type of user: who they are, whether the source event is trusted, the window, who must be excluded, and whether the exit is Google Ads export, Email segmentation, Meta audience reuse, or analysis-only audience.
- Check source events, purchase, item_id, value, currency, consent, Google signals / user-provided data collection, Shopify Orders, and refund state. If events are not trusted, do not activate the audience.
