Google Analytics 4 (GA4) Tracking

Google Analytics 4 (GA4) collects event-based data, with each event representing a distinct action. In this article, we'll go through how to set up Google Analytics 4 tracking on your MyTime embeddable widget on your website or the express checkout page. 

Things to know:

• The ability to add a Google Analytics 4 ID on MyTime is governed by the "Accessing Website Tools" access control.
  
• GTM tracking is not required after G4 tracking is configured
• You will need to re-embed the widget on your website once you update the setting 
• For businesses with multiple locations under a single child account, the GA4 configuration will automatically apply to all locations within that account.
