What is Google Analytics 4 (GA4)?
Google Analytics is an advanced data analysis platform that allows you to analyze user behavior on your website and applications.
Unlike classic Analytics, GA4:
Collects event-based data
Analyzes the user journey in detail
Measures e-commerce conversions more accurately
Provides data for advertising optimization
For e-commerce sites, GA4 is no longer an option, it's a necessity.
Why is GA4 So Important for E-Commerce Sites?
The most critical question for an e-commerce site is:
Which traffic generates sales?
With GA4, you can see:
Which products are viewed the most?
Which products are added to the cart but not purchased?
Which advertising campaign generates sales?
What is the average order value?
What is the conversion rate?
Without this data, it is impossible to optimize advertising.
GA4's Most Critical Features for E-Commerce
Advanced E-Commerce Event Tracking
The basic e-commerce events in GA4 are:
view_item
add_to_cart

If these events are not set up correctly, sales analyses will not be accurate.

Total revenue
Average order value
Product-based performance

User Behavior Analysis
GA4 measures not only sales but also user behavior:
Scroll rate

Keywords used
Bounce behavior
These analyses are critical for conversion optimization.
