Plain-English analytics and a weekly insights digest, pulled straight from your Google Analytics 4 property — ask questions in plain English, get real answers.
A few things need to be in place before GA4 Agent can connect to your analytics. Skim both lists — the second one saves support tickets later.
Four steps from install to querying your analytics in plain English. Screenshots coming soon.
From the Commerce Ace listing, click Install. GA4 Agent opens in your Shopify admin under Apps — no separate login required.
In the GA4 Agent app, click Connect Google Analytics. You'll be redirected to Google to authorize access. Log in with the Google account that has access to your GA4 property and approve the connection.
After authorizing, select which GA4 property to connect. If you have multiple properties (separate brands or stores), choose the one that tracks your Shopify storefront.
Type a plain-English question like "What were my top traffic sources last week?" or "Which products had the most views this month?" Claude queries your GA4 data and returns a clear, actionable answer.
GA4 Agent is mostly self-configuring after the Google OAuth connection. These are the settings worth knowing about.
| Setting | What it does | Recommended |
|---|---|---|
| GA4 Property | The connected Google Analytics 4 property all queries run against. | Your primary Shopify store property |
| Weekly digest | Automatic weekly summary emailed to you — top traffic, top products, key changes. | On — delivered Monday morning |
| Default date range | The date range used when you don't specify one in your question. | Last 30 days |
| Currency | The currency used to display revenue figures in responses. | Match your store currency |
What we tell every Commerce Ace merchant on their onboarding call.
Ask by geography
"Top states by sessions this month" is one of the most useful queries. Helps you understand where to focus ad spend or which markets are growing.
Ask about traffic sources
"Which channels drove the most revenue last week?" tells you what's actually converting — not just what's driving clicks.
Use it for weekly check-ins
Replace your Monday morning spreadsheet ritual with a single question: "Compare this week to last week across sessions, revenue, and conversion rate."
Enable the weekly digest
The Monday digest emails you a plain-English summary of last week's performance. Skim it in 2 minutes — no login required.
Set up GA4 ecommerce tracking first
Revenue, product performance, and conversion queries only work if GA4 has ecommerce events configured. Make sure your Shopify store has the GA4 pixel installed with purchase events firing.
Be specific with time ranges
"Last 7 days" vs "last 30 days" can tell very different stories. Include the time range in your question for the most relevant answer.
No — that's the point. You ask in plain English and Claude translates it into a GA4 query, runs it, and explains the result. No dimension IDs, no metric names, no spreadsheets.
Revenue data requires GA4 ecommerce events (specifically the "purchase" event) to be firing from your store. If revenue shows $0 or nothing, your GA4 tracking setup is missing ecommerce events — this is a tracking configuration issue, not a GA4 Agent issue.
Yes — in Settings you can revoke the Google OAuth connection and reconnect with a different account or property at any time.
No. GA4 Agent queries aggregated analytics data only — sessions, events, conversions, revenue by dimension. It does not access individual user profiles, identities, or PII.
As far back as your GA4 property has data — GA4 doesn't expire historical data. Just include the date range in your question: "Top products by revenue in Q1 2025."
