Ecommerce events sent without value or currency
- Tested
- Walked the storefront from home to checkout entry in one browser session, decoding every GA4, Google Ads, Meta and TikTok beacon into event name, value and currency.
- Observed
- Some of the ecommerce events recorded during the journey were sent with no value, no currency, or both.
- Expected
- Every revenue-bearing ecommerce event should carry a numeric value and a currency code.
- Interpretation / risk
- Value-based bidding and ROAS reporting silently treat these events as zero. Revenue measurement risk — how much it costs depends on the merchant’s actual order data, which a scan does not have.
