Example product review | "Conflicting GA4 properties led to quadruplicate tracking and corrupted analytics data... resulted in significant financial impact due to lost advertising effectiveness and countless hours of troubleshooting." | "I have an online store that sells home decor products, but Google says that I sell products with adult content. It says I have policy issues and missing shipping information, but it's not specific or provides any further information, so it's impossible to fix without knowing what's wrong. What a nightmare!" | "We were having difficulties with accurate and consistent revenue attribution...With Littledata implemented, we now get consistent and accurate revenue attribution." |
Example support review | "Awful experience. You pay $$$ and have to troubleshoot everything with little help... just get redirected to help articles." | "Google support is robotic... they keep pointing us to articles after articles to read. This has become such a big headache." | "Customer support is absolutely amazing... you can never go wrong when an app does what it says and tacks on great service!" |

Littledata's purchase and checkout tracking offers superior accuracy and comprehensive features compared to Analyzify and Google Sales Channel. With server-side tracking, Littledata ensures 100% accuracy and includes essential elements like post-purchase upsells, recurring orders, and refunds, which enhance data richness. It also allows filtering by sales channel and utilizes user-provided data for better attribution. In contrast, Analyzify's tracking is limited to Shopify Plus, and Google Sales Channel relies on client-side tracking, which can lead to data loss and inaccuracies. Littledata's server-side approach captures all checkout steps and is compatible with checkout extensibility and accelerated checkouts, providing a more robust solution for tracking Shopify users and purchases in Google Analytics.
