Showpass Support
Updated
Enable Google Analytics 4 for your Showpass assets with Enhanced Ecommerce Tracking.
 

Showpass offers a complete Google Analytics 4 integration with Enhanced Ecommerce tracking compatibility with cross domain tracking. 

To set up these features to their full capabilities, you will need full access to your Google Analytics 4 property.

Create a new GA4 Property (for those new to Google Analytics)

If you have previously configured a Universal Analytics property and are currently using it on your organization(s) on Showpass,  please follow our "Migrating to Google Analytics 4" documentation.

 

If you are new to Google Analytics and have never setup analytics before, continue following the steps below:

  1. In GA4 Admin, look at the Account column to make sure that you've selected the right account. Then, in the Property column, click Create Property.
  2. Enter a name for the property (e.g. "My Business, Inc website") and select the reporting time zone and currency.
  3. Click Next. Select your industry category and business size.
  4. Click Next. Select how you intend to use Google Analytics.
    Note: Google Analytics tailors the set of default reports based on the information you provide about how you intend to use Analytics. For example, if you choose "Generate more leads," you will see a collection of reports to help you measure lead generation. Learn more
  5. Click Create and (if you are setting up a new account) accept the Analytics Terms of Service and the Data Processing Amendment.
  6. Continue to Add a data stream to start collecting data.
