    Dear cuda,

    Thank you for the reply!

    3. How are you going to call the javascript?
    Yes, according to the 1) above, at the moment, we let all PayPal-ers "go unsupervised" and un-tracked when they press "confirm" button to pay. We hope that they return to the checkout_success page and will show up on the Google radar again, reconciling the session records.

    However, until they return from PayPal we do not know whether they abandoned the cart on the confirmation page, or abandoned the payment process on the PayPal site, or did not return after the payment was made, or will return soon.

    For a large number of ZC folks using PayPal as their main and only payment processor, this might skew their transactional and navigational data.

    A quick suggestion that might bring this under better control, at least on the navigational side:
    as you implied in your email, we can execute a tracing (not transactional) call to Google when the "confirm" button is pressed and the payment option is PayPal. Store owners would see at least the navigational path to PayPal. I can certainly live with this data, knowing that my customer went out to pay.

    This javascript "tap" could be a simple solution for the issue, I guess.

    Another, more sophisticated way of doing it, would be writing additional code for the ipn_main_handler/paypal_function.php to execute along with its main call to PayPal an additional quick HTTP POST to Google.

    Is anyone up to it?

    Hi,

    Noob's 2 cents here:

    For the Google analytics account make sure you enter the account number specified in the code example Google spits out for you. I was entering my Google analytics account UA-xxxxxxx (from 'Edit Analytics Account') but really should have added a '-1' to it, as that was what the code example Google had for me.

    Hope that helps others.

    Looking forward to using this, and thanks to all those who contribute to ZC.

    I just installed this script, but I get this error message when I try and access my store:

    Forbidden

    You don't have permission to access /store/includes/templates/template_default/common/tpl_main_page.php on this server.
    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.



    I had made a database backup before, I tried restoring my database, got the same message. I tried taking out the modifications to the tpl_main_page file, got the same error message.



    Any ideas?
    my store link is store.montrealfloss.com

    In the admin go to:

    configuration -> Google Analytics Configuration

    From there you can enter the data you need too.

    Samantha... have you installed the mod that this thread is about? It's in the downloads section of the site here if you haven't.

    If you have installed it, then you might have to try again because the menu will appear when it is installed correctly.
