Trying API Explorer https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/config/mgmt/v3/mgmtReference/management/profiles/insert as per settings in attach screenshot.
The New GA View that's created has Ecommerce settings enabled (as expected) but Enhanced Ecommerce toggle still switched off... is it a Bug ? (also tried with Python Client Libraries, and same result...)
Thanks for clarification!

This behavior is expected. enhancedECommerceTracking can't be set on insert. See the reference documentation for profiles/enhancedECommerceTracking. You'll have to do an additional patch or update to set enhancedECommerceTracking.
From the reference page:
enhancedECommerceTracking boolean Indicates whether enhanced ecommerce tracking is enabled for this view (profile). This property can only be enabled if ecommerce tracking is enabled. This property cannot be set on insert.
I confirm I get the same behaviour. And if I query the view back, the enhancedECommerceTracking property isn't even returned (eCommerceTracking is and is properly set to true). So it looks like a bug indeed. To be honest the management API is a bit shitty: I've seen other inconsistent values being returned, and the main problem is that you can't really automate account management since it's missing many features (eg even if there was no bug for enhancedECommerceTracking, you would still have to configure the funnel manually as it's not supported by the API).

I am trying to use Google Tag Manager to collect event data (including page view) but it isn't feeding through to Google Analytics once its deployed to Vercel.
I have checked the following things:
GTM has a GA4 Configuration Tag with the measurement ID from GA
I have set up the GTM measurement ID as a public variable in env.local (and reflected this in Vercel)
T have added the script to _app.js
I have added the iframe to _document.js
Set up the tags required in GTM and published it
Using dev tools I have checked that the gtm script (with the correct reference) is fired in the Network tab
Also checked dataLayer in the Console tab is collecting the data expected
However, in spite of all of this I can't see any data in Google Analytics. Played around a bit yesterday expecting to see some today but nothing.
It seems to work on localhost and checking both in real time Vercel doesn't register a view but localhost does.
Previewing the Vercel URL from GTM does say its connected and I can view that in real time in GA when going this way, but if I go to the address directly it's not logging it. Checking 'Tag Coverage' on GTM also says the pages aren't connected.
Am I missing something? It seems to work in theory, just not in practice when visiting the Vercel address directly (as opposed to via GTM preview)?
Thank you in advance
I think I found an answer myself and it's rather basic. It seems a pop up blocker I had installed ('Pop up blocker for Chrome™ - Poper Blocker') was preventing it from firing. Disabling the extension seems to have done the job.
I'm trying to get GA4 e-commerce working for a client. For some reason though I cannot get the testing environment to send data over to any GA4 property. The preview and DebugView work just fine with the production website but the second I change the address in preview to the staging website nothing gets picked up anymore in GA.
The container shows in preview that it's installed correctly, you can see the events trigger like normal in GTM and when you open the tag it shows the correct measurement ID.
I created a new testing property to try and see if that made a difference, it didn't. It still only shows the events from the production site, not staging.
Tag assistant shows that the container is properly loaded on staging.
Anyone has any clue what i should be looking at? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Double check that you're not inadvertently running AdBlock or have Firefox configured to block marketing tags. Either would result in the GTM Preview indicating conditions met and tag fired, but the browser could be prevented from actually sending the data.
Alternatively, check that your GA account/property doesn't have a filter engaged that's preempting the data from being processed in GA.
We by mistake created a Google Analytics Property of type Apps + Web(as in image). But it restricts us from using many Web specific features (like adding custom dimensions and connection with Google Tag Manager).
So we create a new property of type Web (as we anyway won't need App related things anytime sooner), but now how can we migrate all analytics data(of 4-5 months) to the new property.
We tried to go through the docs and didn't find any related help.
Any input would be helpful.
There is no way to migrate the data from one Account, web property or view in google analytics to another. Once the data has been sent the data is there forever unless you delete the account.
I am using GTM with Google Analytics and I can't get out of debug mode. I am not in GTM "Preview" mode and don't have the GA debugger extension installed. It's happening on all browsers - for everybody. Every page load dumps dozens and dozens of lines in the console like this:
I have checked all the settings I can think of both on GA and GTM. All the tags on GTM that use analytics have the debug set to false, and debugging by default is not checked for the environment (screenshots).
I am kind of frustrated and also concerned that this is slowing site browsing.
Any help appreciated.
Follow-up - I already suspected this, but it appears that GTM is the culprit. It's loading analytics_debug.js instead of analytics.js (despite there being no obvious setting set to debug).
I have another site that uses analytics directly (not through GTM), and it does not have this problem.
Well, turns out I did have a tag that had "use debug version" set to "true". I thought I had checked all the tags, but I hadn't noticed that there is now a 2nd page.
I am trying to add Google Analytics to a Chrome App using the google-analytics-bundle.js library found here. Apart from the example in the bundle itself I also tried this sample with no success.
Note that the tracking ID in both tests was been replaced to my own property id, which has already been used successfully before with a separate website.
Here's a screen shot which shows the details of the request and the data being sent:
Since you said that the same tracking ID works on a website, it probably means that you have a wrong kind of tracking ID.
From the Wiki of the library:
Prerequisites
[...]
get a Google Analytics "App" tracking property.
There are 2 types of properties, selected at property creation: "Website" and "Mobile App". You need the second type to work in a Chrome App.
