What Hendrik checks

  1. Order and refund cohorts

    Compare Shopify net order value with refunds by original order cohort. Keep paid status and the store currency visible.

  2. Traffic measurement

    Check GA4 property, timezone, consent coverage, source definition, and event configuration before comparing sessions or transactions.

  3. Explain the divergence

    Shopify: net order value (USD, 28 days) changed from 110,000 USD to 106,000 USD. Google Analytics 4: reported purchase events (count, 28 days) changed from 1,420 to 1,230. Compare the timing and definitions before attributing one change to the other.

Requirements and data limits

What you need

  • Use one explicit 28-day comparison window, time zone, market, and legal-entity scope before comparing values.
  • Connected Shopify order, refund, and inventory data for the same store and comparison window.
  • Connected GA4 property with comparable acquisition and event reporting.
  • Keep provider-specific definitions visible and use an identity or product mapping only where it is established for this workspace.

Keep these differences in mind

  • Declared UTM text is not a verified ad-platform campaign identity; cost coverage and provenance control any margin claim.
  • GA4 events and attribution do not automatically establish a paid order, payment, or campaign relationship.
  • GA4 transactions and Shopify orders are separate measures unless an exact relationship is established.
