Hi Liam,

Please note that “availability” is a Custom Dimension (not a metric).
You can use slot #1 if you haven’t set up Custom Dimensions yet. Otherwise, you would need to use the next free slot.
As mentioned in the article, you also need to set it up in GA (under property).

Hope this helps!

Hi,

We’ve sent this to our developer and they’ve made sure to send availability data via the data layer. Is it necessary to name the availability metric ‘dimension[3]’ in the data layer or can it be something else (e.g. stock)?

I’m asking this because we’re now seeing that our data is marked up a bit differently;
Just under products (ecommerce > detail > products), we’ve got information about product name, id, price, brand, category and stock. Stock is the ‘closing metric’ on every productpage. Can I conclude that I need to select dimension 6 in Analytics (seeing as there are five other metrics also sent via the data layer)?

Thanks in advance!

In reply to Nancy Kawatra. Thank you for reaching out. I don't have specific Shopify experience, but yes, you would need to do the dimension setup hardcoded (separately) if you can't implement it via GTM / Data Layer. Most probably you need the help of a developer to get the work done.

Hi
Thank you for the blog, its very helpful. I have a question, my website uses shopify plus and enhanced ecommerce is already enabled. The information on the product detail page (details on the product such as category, price, colour etc) is already being pushed but not via GTM. However in your step where data.Layer push contains the dimension and the value, does that needs to be hardcoded separately ? or there is another way for Shopify webistes? I am not sure how the data is pushed, it just says in the console that “This event was not sent by GTM”

Thank You
