ℹ️ This article applies to Google Analytics 4 (GA4).

Google is no longer collecting new data for Universal Analytics (UA). Our Universal Analytics (UA) pre-built report is still available for historic reporting purposes only.

When you set up Okendo to integrate with Google Analytics 4 (GA4), you can learn how your customer-generated content directly impacts your conversion rates, revenue, and average order values. You can also see how many transactions are a result of your customer's interaction with your reviews widget. As long as you have Google Analytics set up in your Shopify account and you turned on e-commerce tracking, Okendo uses this integration to capture and send widget events to GA4.

In this article, you'll learn about:

Interaction events captured in Okendo

An interaction event happens whenever a customer engages with your reviews widgets in these ways:

  • Clicks Show More reviews

  • Filters or sorts through your reviews

  • Clicks the star icons at the top of the product or collection page

  • Clicks an image or video to enlarge it

  • Clicks up-vote or down-vote on a review

Okendo captures these events and then sends them to Google Analytics. You can setup our GA4 pre-built report to see the exact impact on your bottom line.

Note: We currently do not count people who simply scrolled and read reviews if they don't click the widget, which means you can consider the event numbers to be conservative.
