About the data layer
A data layer is a JavaScript object that is used to pass information from your website to your Tag Manager container. You can then use that information to populate variables and activate triggers in your tag configurations.
HeadQ implements the data layer with various events with e-commerce data support (GA4 compatible).Enabling data layer

Enabling data layer
By default, the data layer is not enabled. Go to your store settings (Home > Store settings > Integrations). Look for the setting "Does store use data layer" and enable it.
After enabling, the data layer should start working within a minute on your site.
Great. Now you can use your tag manager solutions to flow the event data into any system you want.
