Debugging Events in SGTM

Struggling to get my head round what you can and cannot do with Shopify checkout function.

I have a Shopify store with the Stape App in place, with both client and sGTM inplace

when I navigate around the site, i can see everything fire in debug more and being sent in the network tag

soon as I hit the checkout this stops - no purchase events being picked up even though I can see them in real time ga, and via a data layer inspector

see screengrabs here


I did breifly see events that fire on “purchase_stape” appear in sGTM, but now they aren’t again - which is what you see in the screengrab where you can see purcahse, awin_purchase and adwords_test

I need to be able to at least see events landing on the sGTM debug window if not in the client side debug

what am I missing? I’ve been going round in circles so thinking i’ve messed up a config setting or something

how do you ensure that when using sGTM, Shopify, Stape and the Shopify Stape App, that I can every event including checkout events in client side and/or server side debug

Hey @organicdigital

You won’t be able to debug checkout and purchase events in Shopify using the preview mode in GTM as those events are firing within a sandbox in Shopify.

You can use the network tab or better use the server container to see these events received in sGTM (with full event data) and dispatched to their destinations (GA4 etc)

@organicdigital, if you want you can follow these steps to debug in the Shopify Checkout.
