added affiliate appears buyer cart check checkout code com consider custom development document forward javascript manage matt order orders page perhaps price process product products provided purchase reply script shopping solution source src standard support text thank-you-page total transmit type tyson write

I'm trying to get Total cost of purchase, sku, city, etc. passed to google analytics. After enabling ecommerce in GA
I know the following code E-junkie code is not good enough....

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost=(("https:"==document.location.protocol)?"https://ssl.":"http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='"+gaJsHost+
"google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var ejGATracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXX-X");
ejGATracker._setDomainName("none");
ejGATracker._setAllowLinker(true);
ejGATracker._trackPageview();
</script>

SO, I added the javascript part to it and it still does not work (the following):

<script type="text/javascript">
var gaJsHost=(("https:"==document.location.protocol)?
"https://ssl.":"http://www.");
document.write(unescape("%3Cscript src='"+gaJsHost+
"google-analytics.com/ga.js' type='text/javascript'%3E%3C/script%3E"));
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
var ejGATracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-796508-1");
ejGATracker._setDomainName("none");
ejGATracker._setAllowLinker(true);
ejGATracker._trackPageview();

pageTracker._addTrans(
"order-id", // required
"affiliate or store name",
"total",
"tax",
"shipping",
"city",
"state",
"country"
);

pageTracker._addItem(
"order-id", // required
"SKU",
"product name",
"product category",
"unit price", // required
"quantity" //required
);

pageTracker._trackTrans();
</script>


Does anyone know what I am missing?

Thanks!

I'll have to ask Development to look into this, as it appears you're trying to do something above and beyond the standard Analytics integration we document and officially support.

I can tell you that for order payments made via Google Checkout, GC is able to directly transmit eCommerce data for tracking, regardless of whether the buyer continues past checkout to any conversion/thank-you page with tracking code.

Tyson thanks for responding.

All of my Google Checkout orders get read, and I can see revenue.

It seems like pretty straightforward solution as Google Analytics paints a pretty easy explaination here - >

These methods must live on the receipt page. I have put it on my thank you page and no luck.

Please check this article, that's how I understand this process :

Perhaps I need to use a different thank you page method (try the customizable on provided in the "manage your own products" page.

Also another solution I was thinking was placing the code on the actual cart page.

Thanks for your reply and looking forward to a response.

Tyson,

Let me also add that this would make us seriously consider another shopping cart.

If we can't track revenue from source, what's kind of Google Analytics integration is that?

Not much.

I hope we can find a custom remedy, because I've loved your product thus far.

Matt

Any update on this?
