Hi Alick,

Thanks for good source but i am aware of such things actually we have implemented new checkout steps 1, 2 and 3 after that the ratio of adwords in google analytic gone more compare to old checkout steps that is the reason i am asking that above google tag manager assistant error can create such issue?

Hi,

First you should follow  what Hutch42 suggested above second I would like to clarify there is a reason behind why data discrepancy in Google Adwords & google anlytics. To know more please visit below URL a Googler explained very well in below article.

You should be using GTM to place the other scripts onto the page.  GTM should be placed first onto the before any content or other actions.

Hello Hutch42,

Currently at my checkout step 1 first i have added Re marketing scripts then one affiliator script and then i have added GTM snippet code so is this sequence is fine?

Thanks!

You should try to remove your code from the

in your checkout process and put it in the direct as a best practice.  The only problem you may run into is that GA in GTM (or any other tags you have) will only load and the data layer will only be able to pull information from that. If youris the entire checkout page you will only see a disconnect within your footer or other universal elements.
