GTM Setup Guide

Set up GTM on your new Nyla website

NOTE: The following instructions assume you are starting with a fresh GTM container (which is what we recommend). Do make sure to check whether you're already running a GTM container on your Shopify site, as it may contain tags you'll want to include on your site going forward. If you aren't sure whether GTM already exists, see the FAQ at the bottom of this article.

Nyla GTM configuration

2. After the publish is complete, use GTM's Preview mode to see whether the container is loading

See the following recording for details on how to decipher whether or not GTM is actually loaded on your website:
