Littledata ‑ Google Analytics app installation guide
This is the install guide for Littledata's FREE Google Analytics app. For the paid version install guide, please refer to this article.
In this quick setup guide, we'll show you how to install the free Littledata ‑ Google Analytics shopify app.
Quick install guide
Step 1. Install Littledata - Google Analytics from Shopify app store
On the Littledata ‑ Google Analytics app, click on the "Install" button.
You will be redirected to an install page in Shopify. After confirming access requirements, click on "Install".
Step 2. Begin the setup process
Click on "Connect" to begin the installation process.
Step 3. Connect your Google Analytics account
a) Automatic route:
In this step, you can choose how to connect Littledata to your Google Analytics account. We recommend the automatic route for optimal setup.
After completing the Google Authentication, choose your Google Analytics property and click on "Continue".
b) Manual route
You can choose the manual route by clicking on "Manual account setup". By choosing this route, you will have to manually introduce your Measurement ID and Measurement Protocol API Secret of your Google Analytics property.
Check the Help widget below to learn how to find your Measurement ID and API Secret.
Step 4. Disable other tracking apps
If you connected Littledata to the same GA4 property as your old tracking (e.g. Google Sales Channel), the latter has to be removed to avoid duplicate tracking.
Confirm that duplicate tracking has been disabled and click Continue.
If you're not sure how your previous GA4 connection was setup, please read our step-by-step guide on how to fix duplicate tracking in GA4.
Step 5. Activate app embed
Click on "Enable app embed" to be redirected to your theme setting's app tab.
Look for Littledata Free Tracker and make sure it's enabled, then click on "Save".
Step 6. Installation completed
Your new Google Analytics connection is now completed, and you will start to see data flowing to your Google Analytics property moving forward.
