What GA4 events should an eCommerce website have

A classic “How long is a piece of string” question because it’s about what you need to track. 

Some information that can be tracked may not apply to you and your business/charity. Google has a list of recommended events; see below, which is extensive. We have also included some of our own. 

We always recommend you consider the below, a majority comes from Google's recommendations, but you may have intricacies associated with your website that you may want to track. That has not been included in the table below.
