hello everybody.

we set up the google analytics a few weeks ago and little by little I have been reading and learning about it. I finally got to set up my goal for the conversion data. But, i have no idea how to set up the e-commerce part.

I have read from their e-commerce guide but i don't understand anything. It seems i have to add some code to the receipt page? how do i do that, we don't have access to that through . And one of the codes i have to enter some parameters.... really i have no idea, i'm completely lost on this one.

Can anybody help me with this????

please

thank you

Moraima,

If you have a valid Google Analytics account and set "Google Analytics Enabled" to "Yes" in Settings > Site Wide Settings > System Options tab the necessary HTML will be placed on your cart's receipt page by our software. There is nothing further you need to do.

Take care,

hi and thank you for answering

we do have the account and it is enabled, but we weren't getting any info. But i checked again the account number and i think we were missing one number, if the number after the last dash is neccessary then that's it....

is that number necessary? UA-xxxxxxx-1 i was missing that last one.

although we were getting information for the conversions and the visits, does it work different?

well, thank you, if you haven't say that i wouldn't have checked the account number....
i should see some info on monday then, i assume...

Moraima,

The entire number including the dash and any numbers after it are necessary.

Hello Diaz -

That is correct the extra '-1' is part of the account number that needs to be entered in the Site Wide Settings field. Just to verify that you are using the correct account number this can be found by taking the following steps in your Google Analytics account.

1. Click on Edit(Under Settings) for the account you have setup
2. Click on Check Status (This is located in the upper right hand portion of the screen where you will see the text "receiving data"

Here you will find the code that you would paste on your site. Since our system pulls this code onto the site for you when you have the Google Analytics option enabled, you will need to just take the UA number out of there. So your full account number should look like the following "UA-1234567-8" (without the quotes)

I hope this helps you out. If you have any further questions do not hesitate to update this post or contact our support team.

oops! my bad then...

thank you very much

I think what has been described simply sets up simple analytics site tracking but not the full e-commerce tracking that includes conversions. I've had my analytics set up as directed above for a year and have full tracking but showing zero conversions, though I do, in fact actually make sales on my store :-) On this page it shows that more is needed: http://www.google.com/support/googleanalyt...mp;answer=55528

I believe what I need is the form values or code for call backs of Order ID, SKU, Category, Product Name, Price, Quantity, etc. I plugged in their example code, had a transaction, and I had conversion data show up in Google Analytics - BUT it showed the sale data built into the script example, not data pulled from the actual transaction. Can some Monster Code Guy/Gal help??? Here's the example code >>>>>>>>>

<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 pageTracker = _gat._getTracker("UA-XXXXX-1");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();

pageTracker._addTrans(
"1234", // Order ID
"Mountain View", // Affiliation
"11.99", // Total
"1.29", // Tax
"5", // Shipping
"San Jose", // City
"California", // State
"USA" // Country
);

pageTracker._addItem(
"1234", // Order ID
"DD44", // SKU
"T-Shirt", // Product Name
"Green Medium", // Category
"11.99", // Price
"1" // Quantity
);

pageTracker._trackTrans();
</script>

We are having similar trouble with getting the conversion and revenue analysis data. We are on version 4.6. Helllllp!

I've come to the conclusion with help of some of the others on this forum that conversions and some revenue analysis won't work but hopefully for version 7 we will have that valuable data. I'm new to MC (again - evaluated them years ago for another company) but not to e-commerce shopping carts. Any chance of some sort of log file analysis???
