Google Ecommerce Tracking
-
Hey all,
I have GTM set up on a site and I am trying to enable the Ecommerce tracking functionality.
My problem is this, I have access to the basket variables all they way through the checkout funnel to the payment page, but they are then lost on the payment completed page. Does anyone know how I can pass the value of the basket across to the payment completed page so I can mark the transaction completed with an actual value present. I cannot post hidden input fields or change the url get variables as the third party system that us used fails.
I have thought maybe javascript calls, but not managed to get to work as yet. Can the Google session pass and hold them in the cookies that are set?
Any help greatly appreciated.
Cheers
Tim

Hi there.
It seems like you need to look into Enhance Ecommerce tracking from GA.
Here is the link: https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/enhanced-ecommerce
Hope it helps.

Your transactional tag needs to fire on {{event}} equals transactionComplete. This way you’ll be 100 % certain that the data is in
dataLayer
by the time the tag fires, because the trigger event is pushed at the same times as the transactional data!dataLayer.push({
'ecommerce': {
'currencyCode': 'EUR', // Local currency, type string
'impressions': [
{
'name': 'Triblend Android T-Shirt', // Name, type string
'id': '12345', // ID, type string
'price': '15.25', // Price, type string
'brand': 'Google', // Brand, type string
'category': 'Apparel', // Category, type string
'variant': 'Gray', // Variant, type string
'list': 'Search Results', // List, type string
'position': 1 // Position, type number
...https://www.savio.no/analytics/easier-enhanced-ecommerce-product-promo-tracking
dataLayer.push({
'ecommerce' : {
'purchase' : {
'actionField' : , // WRONG! This key requires a value
...
});
dataLayer.push({
'ecommerce' : {
'purchase' : {
'actionField' : '', // BETTER!
...
});For example, if you’re using a Custom HTML Tag to build your eCommerce
dataLayer
, add an ‘event’ push in there, which you’ll then use as the firing rule for your transactional tags:case 'cart': // Track Add to Cart clicks
dataLayer.push({'event':'addToCart',
'ecommerce':{
'add':{'actionField':{'list':pid.list},
'products': [{
'name':pid.name,
....code................
'dimension1':pid.dimension1, // Discount in percent
'metric1':pid.discount // Discount amount
}]}}});

Google Product Ads - Improving our Cost Per Conversion?
Hi all, We have been running Google Product Ads (paid for) ever since it began in the UK. We are still struggling to get to grips with the best way to make it worthwhile for us. Our data for the last 14 days:
Conversion Rate Optimization | | complete_outdoors
Clicks: 1827
Impressions: 65789
CTR: 2.78%
Average CPC: £0.22
Cost Per Conversion: £15.13 We've added some auto targets for our most popular brands, with a higher CPC than "all products". We've also added negative keywords so we only come up with relevant searches. Basically, what we'd like to know is: how we can best set-up our product ads to reduce our Cost Per Conversion (I guess everyone would like to do that!), as it is barely worth us using it currently. If you require any further data to help answer my question, please ask. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.0 -
Optimising /product/ pages for our 15,000 product ecommerce store.
Hi guys! We're constantly working on evolving our /product/ pages on the site, however some times it's pretty easy to get lost in your own mess. Especially when the sites consists of 15,000+ products. So it's pretty painful to handcraft every single page. So I thought I'd jump in here to see if anyone had any suggestions for stuff we're missing, and or should improve? These are product pages: http://www.warcom.com.au/products/9954_draytek-vigor-120-single-port-adsl-122-modem http://www.warcom.com.au/products/49884_warcom-deluxe-double-lcd-monitor-stand---free-shipping There is a few issues we're aware of already.. Negatives: To many links in the left menus. To many links in the footer. Positives: We recently included rich snippets.. We're always testing out colors and styles. We're always testing meta data. Any and all suggestions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

How to track full path of website visitors until conversion, not just landing page?
hi, This is my first question in the forums and I'm looking forward to be part of a great SEO community. I was wondering ow to track full path of website visitors until conversion, not just landing page? I've been using Wordpress jetpack site stats for while, which shows great data like keywords used in google, landing page etc. But I would like to have access to the full path for each separate visitors (including their IP address and country is possible) to improve my website and conversions. Example: step 1: Visitor X types "seo" on Google step 2: visitor lands on my homepage step 3: visitor visits to order page and buys Is there such tool available as a Wordpress plugin? Or do I have to use Google analytics for this? thank you for your help, Marc

Tracking Adwords Conversions for eCommerce ROI
I'm working with a rather large eCommerce customer who needs to be able to track their Adwords conversions for the purpose of determining the ROI of their Adwords campaigns. I've installed code from Google Adwords Conversions on their eCommerce page, but it doesn't seem to be calculating values correctly. Also, where would setting goals in Analytics come in to play if I'm trying to track the conversions of specific Adwords conversions?

How can I track the traffic source/keyword of form submissions?
I'm using Google Analytics on www.nhfinehomes.com and would like to track the source of leads submitted via form submissions. Ideally, I could track if the lead originated from organic search (and what keyword phrase), PPC, referral links, etc. Is this possible with Google Analytics and if so, can anyone point to some documentation on how to do this or better yet someone who can help me set this up? This site is running ASP.NET and uses JQuery so there is not a 'traditional' thank you page that I can reference. I'm not a programmer and do not pretend to be one! Thanks in advance. Link

Ideal product page conversion/retention rate for eCommerce sites
Hi SEOmoz-ers, I was wondering if anyone has data regarding product page abandonment rate (% of potential customers that leave the site after seeing product pages) for websites like Overstock, REI or Zappos? As you may know the above mentioned sites do an exceptional job with product pages. It would be helpful to know what some of the leaders in this space are achieving in terms of conversion rate. What is your personal opinion about this? Thanks,
