Install the Google Analytics Integration Extension
Setup the extension with a G-X type ID from your Google Analytics account. Google Analytics account is required to test this.
Install Google Analytics Debugger browser extension. It needs to be installed, but do not click it (debug mode should be off).
Go to the store and trigger some events using the All Products Block and Cart block (feature plugin only). See list of events in https://github.com/woocommerce/woocommerce-gutenberg-products-block/pull/3953.

To test the checkout functionality (feature plugin only):

Visit checkout with items in your cart. You will see a begin_checkout event
Start editing fields. Depending on the field you edit (which step) you will see a checkout_progress event. e.g. adding billing information will add checkout_progress with a number indicating the step you are on.
Select a shipping rate. See that a set_checkout_option event fired.
Select a payment method. See that a set_checkout_option fired.
Leave a required field blank and place order. See exception event.
Place order. See add_payment_info event.

Cart and Checkout blocks:
- Coupons interaction works as expected.
- Changing quantities works as expected.
- Shipping interaction works as expected.
Orders can be placed using regular and express payment methods.
Orders can be placed from the Checkout block starting from the Cart block and from the shortcode.
