Hi @artemlatenkov07,
Thanks for reaching out. If you choose to use Site Kit to insert your Google Analytics snippet the plugin can insert a basic Universal Type (UA- prefix) and a Google Analytics 4 type snippet. While the Google Analytics 4 snippet does automatically track events (some e-commerce related) there is no e-commerce specific functionality built into Site Kit, or no e-commerce related Site Kit dashboards.
You may also wish to subscribe to the below Site Kit GitHub issue. This is in related to enhanced e-commerce support within Site Kit. You’ll find this below:
https://github.com/google/site-kit-wp/issues/459
While there is no timeframe on further e-commerce support within Site Kit what you can do for the moment is place a non Site Kit added Analytics snippet on your site, which does include your e-commerce preferences. This can include a Google Tag Manager placed snippet. Site Kit can then use this non Site Kit placed snippet to display data within the plugin dashboards, while you can ensure your e-commerce data remains gathering.
Let me know if you have any questions with the above, or if you’d like assistance on removing the Site Kit placed snippet while keeping the module connected with a non Site Kit placed snippet.
Hi James! Thank for your answer!
I am very worried about the loading speed of the site, can you recommend a plugin to insert the e-commerce code so that there is no conflict with your plugin?
No problem at all. As Site Kit is a wp-admin operated plugin it’s unlikely that other plugins will conflict. If you’ve added a Google Analytics tag with any enhanced ecommerce features into a connected Google Tag Manager account then Site Kit can use this to display and populate your Site Kit dashboards, without inserting a standard Google Analytics snippet.
In relation to performance if you use Site Kit to insert a Google Analytics snippet or insert your own manually, via Tag Manager or via a third party plugin there is no performance difference. Site Kit inserts only a basic snippet and makes the a single http request to the Analytics service.
Let me know if you have any further questions with the above.
As we didn’t receive a response I’ll mark this as resolved. Feel free to open a new support topic if you continue to encounter issues, or reopen this topic and we’d be happy to assist.
