Hi there, anyone who already did an implementation with Google Ads API with SCA? If I understood it correctly SCA is not that big of an architecture to implement it. But if you have any thoughts to share, let me know please!

Hi Roj, I would start by asking: why would you use Google Ads API? What's the purpose?

Hi Diego! We're not that confident with how Google Adwords is tracking our conversion tru GTM.

Hi @Regorr Segarra! Yeah, there are a few things that don't seem to be working correctly out of the box right now. What we found so far at Suitelabs.net is: • Google Tag Manager in SuiteCommerce requires the dataLayer (or the cookies) to be sent from shopping to checkout/myaccount or the sessions will start over, losing the original referrer • There is an additional step in the documentation, which is new-ish (1-2 yrs maybe) for session data preservation in GTM • We found that the _gid cookie, which is required for linking user sessions with checkout transactions, is not being generated at all. So that solution no longer works for the purpose it was built. • This is not necessary for all sessions, it depends on the browser and configurations of each user. But with the "right" configuration, you lose the session. We guesstimated this in 15-20% of session data lost For us, the solution is to find different ways to preserve the sessions. One that is not a "workaround" (using _gid was definitely a workaround) and is robust enough to perdure. FYI: @Steve Goldberg in case you have insights. UPDATE: Defect 846308

@Diego Gallo, this is super helpful! Thank you very much!!! So far I also made some adjustments in our GTM, using server container, and also add some code modifications in SCA to ensure we submit items array every purchase event. I don't why it fails for some before. But with our current data from 100% affected cart data, it's now down to 36% and we are still monitoring.
