    It kinda does the thing, but has some issues: 1) It uses UA instead of GA4. 2) When using UA, you are prompted to migrate to GA4 3) If you do it, many important Goole Ads conversions stop working, because they depend on UA at the moment. So Google is basically guiding you to break their own product atm.

    They have suspended my account for 'suspicious payment activity' but I only just opened it. They are also refusing my products for no reason.

    It's still crazy that an application developed by Shopify does not work. I installed this application and when connecting my Google account I got an error: Error 400: invalid_request
