Hello Again!

As we were chatting on your last post, for your shopping cart purchases you should be using s.products which is a special parameter specifically designed to track multiple items with explicit correlation to merchansing eVars. 

If you use a prop to track a list of products it will be truncated at 100 characters... If you are trying to correlate things like size, color, etc to each product this will be lost, as each item in the list will apply to ALL items in the list.

Only products will allow you to correlate specific parameters to their product. https://experienceleague.adobe.com/docs/analytics/implementation/vars/page-vars/products.html?lang=e...

Or as someone else suggested, track the SKUs in s.products and import the product details like size, color, etc as classification data.

I also couldn't help notice you are including things like Country, if this is tracking things like shipping country, or the country listed in the user's account this makes sense, but if this is just the country the user is located in, Adobe already tracks this by default....State as well (all based on the user's IP).

I would also caution the use of collecting "email" as this is personally identifiable information that you might not want to be collecting in your data... maybe you would be better of tracking a user guid which is more abstracted....
