Is my GA4 ecommerce setup capturing add to cart, begin checkout, and purchase?

I'm struggling to understand if my Google Analytics 4 (GA4) is correctly tracking critical e-commerce events like add to cart, begin checkout, and purchase. These events are crucial for understanding my conversion funnel and customer behavior, but the setup seems complex and I'm not sure if I'm capturing everything correctly. I need a comprehensive guide to verify my implementation and ensure I'm tracking these key conversion milestones accurately.

TL;DR - Quick Answer

Email welcome sequences convert first-time email subscribers to buyers at 8-15% when properly configured. The highest-converting welcome series use 3-4 emails over 7-10 days: welcome + offer, product story, social proof, then offer expiry urgency.

Complete Expert Analysis

How Do I Use Email Welcome Sequences to Convert First-Time Subscribers?

The welcome sequence is the highest-leverage email automation any e-commerce store can build. New subscribers have just expressed interest in your brand - their attention and goodwill are at their peak. A well-designed welcome sequence converts this intent into first purchases with open rates 2-3x higher than regular campaigns.

High-Converting Welcome Sequence Structure

Email Timing Content Focus Expected Open Rate
Email 1: Welcome + OfferImmediatelyBrand promise + discount code45-65%
Email 2: Brand StoryDay 2Why you started + mission30-45%
Email 3: Social ProofDay 4Reviews + customer results25-35%
Email 4: Offer ExpiryDay 7-10Discount expires soon - urgency30-40%

Welcome Sequence Optimization Tips

  • -Genuine offer expiry: If Email 1 says "10% off expires in 7 days," Email 4 must confirm the offer is truly gone
  • -Mobile-first design: 60-70% of welcome emails are opened on mobile - single column, large CTA buttons
  • -Personal sender name: "Sarah from [Brand]" outperforms "[Brand] Team" by 15-20% open rate
  • -Stop sequence on purchase: If subscriber buys during the welcome sequence, remove them from the remaining emails
