Add Google Analytics to your website

Find your Measurement ID

Sign in at analytics.google.com. If you don't have a GA4 property yet, create one and add a Web data stream for your store's address.

Then go to Admin, then Data Streams, then Web, and open your stream. Copy the Measurement ID. It starts with G-, for example G-AB12CD34EF.

How to connect Google Analytics

1. In your Mawg3 dashboard, click Addons in the sidebar.
2. Under Analytics, open Google Analytics and click Install. Confirm in the window that opens.
3. Click Configure.
4. Paste your ID into Measurement ID and click Save.
5. Open your published website in a new tab and click around a few pages.
6. In Google Analytics, open the Realtime report and check that your visit shows up.

What Mawg3 sends to Google Analytics

Besides page views, Mawg3 sends shopping events with the amount and currency. These are add to cart, begin checkout and purchase. That lets you see which pages and campaigns lead to sales, not just visits.

Tracking runs on your published website. Visits to your own dashboard are not counted.

If Google Analytics shows no data

Check that the ID starts with G-. An ID in the wrong format doesn't load, and older UA- IDs no longer collect data in Google Analytics.

Make sure your site is published and that you are viewing the live address, not the editor preview.

Ad blockers and some privacy browsers block Google Analytics. Test in a normal browser window without them.

Google Analytics and Mawg3 Analytics

Mawg3 has its own Analytics page with visitors, sales and top products, and it works without any setup. Google Analytics is useful when you want deeper reports or already use it for ads. You can run both.

The Addon Store also has Google Tag Manager and Google Ads Conversion if you manage more tags or run Google Ads.
