5. Fill in the details for your conversion action, such as the name, value, and count. These details will depend on the specific conversion you want to track. For example, if you want to track purchases, you can name the conversion “Purchase” and set the value and count based on your requirements. Click on “Continue” when you’re done.

7. In the “Install the tag” section, select “Google Tag Manager” as the installation method.
8. Copy the generated conversion ID and conversion label. You’ll need these later to set up the tracking in Shopify.
