Google Ads Conversion Tracking on Shopify

Install and validate Google Ads conversion tags on Shopify without duplicate events.

Proper conversion tags make ad spend work harder— and it don’t have to be messy.

Define conversion actions

Define purchase, add‑to‑cart, sign‑up, and other meaningful actions. Align naming across Ads, GA4, and your data layer for consistency.

Document triggers and parameters (value, currency, items).

Install tags correctly

Install via GTM or the global site tag (gtag.js). Avoid duplicating tags via multiple apps.

Docs: Google Ads conversions, GTM install.

Validate with Tag Assistant

Use Tag Assistant preview to confirm event firing and parameters on PDP, cart, and checkout (where supported).

Test with real transaction amounts and ensure no PII leaks.

Fix common issues

Remove duplicate scripts (theme + app), standardize event names, respect consent, and test in a duplicated theme.

Reconcile discrepancies between Ads and Analytics by aligning attribution windows.
