CASE STUDY 03 • DATA QUALITY & REVENUE AUTOMATIONIndependent Case Study

Why Did GA4 and Shopify Report Different Revenue? Automating GA4 Refund Reconciliation with Google Sheets & n8n

Analytics, ecommerce backend, and finance diverged by 14% due to unrecorded returns in GA4. Without BigQuery export, standard GA4 cannot lookup historical session cookies for asynchronous returns. I architected a Google Sheets session ledger and an event-driven n8n webhook pipeline streaming enriched Measurement Protocol v2 refund hits into GA4.
