GA4 stands for Google Analytics 4, a marketing & advertising abbreviation.
Current version of Google's free web and app analytics service, built around events rather than sessions and pageviews, with cross-device reporting, predictive metrics and integration with Google Ads and BigQuery.
Example: Conversions in GA4 don't match Shopify's numbers because of consent mode and attribution settings.
Usage notes
Released in October 2020, GA4 replaced Universal Analytics, whose standard properties stopped processing data on July 1, 2023, forcing a mass migration. Many users found its interface harder to learn, which boosted the use of custom reports and third-party tools.
