I don't use Google Analytics every day, but the when I have, I always wondered where that information was. I hope it was useful to someone.

In order to load the Google Analytics code to your site, you do not have to add the full code they give you to your site's bottom of page. Instead, all you have to add is your account number for GA. In other words, if the code for the site they give you is as follows -
CODE
<script src="http://www.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-80122-9";
urchinTracker();
</script>
- you can take the string "UA-80122-9" and enter it into your Storefront Admin Panel (without the quotes) under
Site Information > Site Wide Settings > System Options > Google Analytics Account. This will allow it to work most effectively and prevent the SSL errors you were seeing.
Alternatively, you can modifiy the code above as follows -
CODE
<script src="httpS://SSL.google-analytics.com/urchin.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">
_uacct = "UA-80122-9";
urchinTracker();
</script>
- and add it yourself to the bottom of page editor and it will accomplish almost the same thing. However, I believe adding it the first way under System Options allows you to use more features w/in GA relating to ecommerce.
