Note: Action Based Checkout Events are not available for preview in Google Tag Manager (GTM)

Action Based Checkout Events are not available for preview in Google Tag Manager (GTM) when using action based checkout events the data is sent to your destination via API from webhook trigger within Shopify.

This does not pass data client side in the browser so you are not able to preview in GTM like you would with client side tags.

(Optional) Site Speed Enhancements

• For GA4 delete the checkout funnel events from your GTM Web Container.
• This will also help reduce the size of the GTM container loading on your website, which will help with site speed!
