cartContent skus with zeros are wrong

Hi, thanks for this plugin, we are facing an issue in the cartContent, I think the use of JSON_NUMERIC_CHECK in the cartContent makes any sku that has zeros at front to be eliminated. this records the wrong sku and creates an inconsistency between the “cartContent” “items” and the “ecommerce” “items”

"000035180" → 35180

"cartContent": {
"totals": {
"applied_coupons": [],
"discount_total": 0,
"subtotal": 234,
"total": 234
},
"items": [
{
"item_id": 35180,
"item_name": "Blue Eagle BE-PBW-04 MagSafe Power Bank 3in1 with Built in Bracket 10000mAh White",
"sku": 35180,
"price": 39.9,
"stocklevel": 4,
"stockstatus": "instock",
"google_business_vertical": "retail",
"item_category": "Αξεσουάρ Κινητών",
"id": 35180,
"item_brand": "",
"quantity": 2
},
{
"item_id": 35181,
"item_name": "Blue Eagle BE-PBW-05 MagSafe Power Bank 3in1 with Built in Bracket 10000mAh White",
"sku": 35181,
"price": 35.9,
"stocklevel": 160,
"stockstatus": "instock",
"google_business_vertical": "retail",
"item_category": "Αξεσουάρ Κινητών",
"id": 35181,
"item_brand": "",
"quantity": 1
},
........
]
}
},
{
"gtm.start": 1782233199832,
"event": "gtm.js",
"gtm.uniqueEventId": 7
},
{
"ecommerce": {
"currency": "EUR",
"value": 233.99999999999997,
"items": [
{
"item_id": "000035180",
"item_name": "Blue Eagle BE-PBW-04 MagSafe Power Bank 3in1 with Built in Bracket 10000mAh White",
"sku": "000035180",
"price": 39.9,
"stocklevel": 4,
"stockstatus": "instock",
"google_business_vertical": "retail",
"item_category": "Αξεσουάρ Κινητών",
"id": "000035180",
"item_brand": "",
"quantity": 2
},....
]
},

Also, another issue i have found is that in the add to cart event, the price is a string and so we get a
Meta warning in Events Manager that says “59% of price data has formatting issues” and affects ROAS calculation.

{
    "event": "add_to_cart",
    "ecommerce": {
        "currency": "EUR",
        "value": 35.9,
        "items": [
            {
                "item_id": "000035181",
                "item_name": "Blue Eagle BE-PBW-05 MagSafe Power Bank 3in1 with Built in Bracket 10000mAh White",
                "sku": "000035181",
                "price": "35.90",
                "stocklevel": 160,

                "id": "000035181",
                "item_brand": "",
                "item_variant": "",
                "quantity": 1
            }
        ]
    },

currently, you cannot find those issues in our website, because we have some custom snippets that fix both, but we can deactivate that for testing.
