Short answers, first line first.
11 docs about your copy of the template, ordered the way a purchase happens: before you buy, after, with clients, and when something looks wrong. Every doc answers in its opening sentence; the rest is the detail, with the guide that goes deeper.
Before you buy
Which template, what the demo shows, how you pay.
Choosing a template
Pick a Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) template by the report you owe someone: one source (GA4, Search Console or Google Ads) when the report is about one channel, the two-source or all-in-one dashboards when the client wants the whole picture on one link.
Try the live demos
Every template page opens the actual report inside Data Studio’s (formerly Looker Studio) viewer, populated with live data: the same report you would copy, not a screenshot.
Payment methods
Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) templates are paid once, by card through Stripe or with PayPal, at checkout on every template page: the price on the page is the whole price.
After purchase
What arrives, how it connects, how you make it yours.
How delivery works
After purchase you receive a link to the template and a setup guide; you copy the Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) report into your own Google account, and that copy is yours, with lifetime access.
Connecting sources
Your copy connects to your own accounts through Google’s native Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) connectors: you authorise each source, pick the property, and the report fills with your data.
Customizing your copy
Your copy is an ordinary Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) report that you own: logo, theme colours, pages and every chart are editable with the standard editor, and nothing you change touches the original.
Sharing with clients
Links, scheduled email, access for other people, currency.
Sharing reports
Share your copy of the Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) report like a Google Doc, with a viewer link that shows live data every time it opens, or schedule a PDF snapshot by email from the share menu; the two can coexist.
Access for others
Press Share, type the address and choose Viewer or Editor; if that person opens the Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) report but every chart asks for access, the data sources need Owner’s credentials.
Report currency
The report shows money in the currency of the account it reads; to change the symbol, change the field’s type in the data source, and remember that Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) labels amounts, it does not convert them.
When something looks wrong
Empty pages, access errors, numbers a day behind.
No data or errors
An empty Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) page right after copying is almost always one of four things, in this order: the source still points at the demo property, the date range has no data, a field your account does not have, or Google’s quota for the hour.
Refresh stale data
Data Studio (formerly Looker Studio) caches each data source for fifteen minutes to twelve hours; press Refresh data in the top bar to fetch now, and set Data freshness on the source to change how long the cache lasts.
