WARNING! Universal Analytics / GA3 ecommerce events deprecated! Please update your GTM setup so that it does not rely on any of the following GTM4WP events and the old ecommerce data layer:

• gtm4wp.productClickEEC
• gtm4wp.addProductToCartEEC
• gtm4wp.removeFromCartEEC
• gtm4wp.checkoutOptionEEC
• gtm4wp.checkoutStepEEC
• gtm4wp.changeDetailViewEEC
• gtm4wp.orderCompletedEEC

Instead of the above events, you can use the new GA4 ecommerce events (add_to_cart, purchase, etc.) In the Universal Analytics GTM tag now you have an option to use the GA4 ecommerce data in the data layer. If you are on GA360 and still collecting ecommerce data, you need to update your GTM setup to use that option firing on the GA4 ecommerce events.
