Open your SlideRule Analytics store's configuration. As you can see, we're going to need a Measurement Id and a Measurement Protocol API Secret from our Google Analytics 4 property to complete the configuration.

Select the Google Analytics account that contains your existing Universal Analytics property if you have one. If you don't have a Google Analytics account, create one and name it after your company like "SlideRule Analytics" is named after ours below.

Name the property "Google Analytics 4" and select your Shopify store's timezone and currency. Make sure the currency matches your store's currency. Without this, Google Analytics will not convert currencies correctly and your revenue data will be wrong.
