    Ensure that the reporting Timezone and Currency match your Shopify stores.
    It's very important that the GA4 currency matches your Shopify's store's currency. If they don't match, GA4's exchange rates will be wrong and the reported revenue will be off.

    Data Stream Settings

    Click Data Streams
    Make sure you only have one data stream.
    There is no reason for a Shopify store to have multiple data streams in the same GA4 property if you don't have a mobile app. If you have different stores for different countries/regions, you should still only have one GA4 Data Stream.
    Click on your Data Stream
    Click Configure tag settings
    Click Show all
    Click Define internal traffic
    Click Create, select "IP address equals" and enter your IP Address
    Find your IP address by Googling "What's my IP?"
    Add all IP addresses for your company by clicking Add condition
    Name the rule Internal Users and click Create
    Close the Define internal traffic window and select Configure your domains
