I would always advise using the analytics of someone with no dog in the fight. In this case it is GOOGLE because Shopify analytics do not often match up with GOOGLE. Just my rule of thumb.

I would advise google analytics because it has much more insights into whats happening. Also i think there is a shopify plugin that tells you where your customers click on the website which is pretty usefull for making a high converting layout

100% Google Analytics, don't forget to setup the e-commerce enhanced settings.

Hello

We have always added Google Analytics to shopify stores

Whereas Shopify own analytics can give you some idea, but adding GA is a way to go

please be reminded that if you use GTM to add GA, it will be best

Click to expand...

depends on the type of products you want to sell and the money that you have

with stand-alone website you have better control over every thing and maintenance is cheaper

Shopify is good for beginners but costly to maintain. And then Shopify sometimes bans some stores. Like in Pandemic it banned all stores for selling masks
