A practice ground for GTM tracking
The theory of the dataLayer takes ten minutes to read and months to get wrong in production. The store here is fake, the events are not: open GTM preview, walk the funnel, and watch what fires.
The funnel, event by event
Every page of the store pushes its matching GA4 event. None of them is simulated — they are the ones you will meet in your own integration.
-

select_itemClicking a card's link — never its add button. -
