Google Ads and GA4 tracking for ClickFunnels 2.0
On the Google side the classic ClickFunnels fault is the front-end order counted twice because the purchase tag also sits on the upsell page and fires on a page view. Value gets inflated and Smart Bidding learns from it.

ClickFunnels 2.0 + Google · what breaks
What goes wrong on ClickFunnels 2.0
- 01
Upsell revenue missing or front end double-counted
Depending on where the purchase tag was placed.
- 02
Declines still load a page
A customer who declines the upsell still sees the downsell page, and a page-based tag counts the refusal.
- 03
Downsell branches never walked
Built and never tested, so nobody notices they fire nothing.
- 04
Average order value meaningless
Because charges and events don't correspond.
ClickFunnels 2.0 + Google · the fix
What changes — ClickFunnels 2.0 + Google
One event per charge
Front end, bump, upsell, downsell.
Declines counting nothing
Because the event is bound to a charge, not a page.
Real average order value
Charges and events finally corresponding.

How the Google destinations behave on ClickFunnels 2.0

- 1
transaction_id per charge
Not per order and not per page.
- 2
Purchase tag off the upsell page
A page view is not a payment.
- 3
Counting set to every
Multiple charges from one click are multiple sales.
- 4
Value per charge
So average order value means something.
- 5
Decline path tested
It's the branch nobody walks.
ClickFunnels 2.0 + Google · diagnose
Where ClickFunnels 2.0 tracking breaks, in diagnostic order
Each check rules out a class of cause, so by the last one there is usually a single explanation standing.

Charges, not orders.
- 02

Accept, decline, downsell, bump.
- 03
Walk each branch with a real transaction
Including the decline.
- 04
Check which steps have purchase code pasted
Usually more than one.
- 05
Look for repeated transaction IDs
Proof of double counting.

ClickFunnels 2.0 + Google · when not to buy
When you don't need this on ClickFunnels 2.0
Worth reading before you buy anything, from us or anyone.
- If your funnel is a single product with no bumps or upsells, one charge equals one order and none of this complexity applies.
- If your processor charges and platform purchases already reconcile, the multi-charge problem isn't affecting you.
- Removing the purchase tag from upsell pages is a five-minute change that fixes most of this. Do that before buying anything.
- The decline-path test costs nothing and finds the most embarrassing bugs. Run it yourself.
