Google Ecommerce Tracking

[RodG]

I was last week evaluating Simple Google Analytics and Easy Analytics, both unnecessarily complex.

In "defence" of these modules, to the best of my knowledge they have both been around for many years and the code has evolved and advanced a lot during this time. They'll (probably) continue to support the older Google API's as well as the newer ones.

They probably support many things the EC Analytics doesn't.

Are they complex? Yes. Are they *unnecessarily* complex? I'm not in a position to judge.

Oh, yeah, they probably also originated before zen-cart added the NOTIFIER system, and *that* is what has kept the EC Analytics method so simple to install and understand. :-)

I really appreciate the positive comments for EC Analytics though.

Double check your installation.. sounds like you missed uploading a file..

Not really enough information provided, but as DivaVocals stated, "Double check your installation.. sounds like you missed uploading a file" (specifically, the /includes/classes/observers/class.ec_analytics.php file)

I've installed this on a client using Zen Cart 1.5.2. We're using the universal code in the footer and this plugin for ecommerce. Traffic data is working fine, but no ecommerce data.

Enable Ecommerce and Enable Enhanced Ecommerce Reporting are both on.

Looks like it's a delay in reporting. Data is starting to show up now in GA.

If you're using both you are probably going to get page traffic double logged.

If that is the case, one of the two modules isn't reporting the pageviews.

Not having ANY issues.. Seriously.. My client's marketing team are the ones who manage the GA stuff. They were the ones who pointed out that the ecommerce tracking was missing which is what led me to your module.. They have indicated to me that since I installed your module that everything is working correctly.. To be clear, I am NOT using any of the other Google Analytics modules for Zen Cart, I dropped the GA code that I got directly from Google Analytics..

Okay for posterity sake.. Here's how I am using this module.. (so anyone following our comedy act here will be clear..)

• I have do not have any of the other Zen Cart modules or plugins installed on this site..
• I have installed your Ecommerce tracking module as per the readme..
• I manually add the regular GA code following the instructions from Google: Add the tracking code directly to your site

Everything works perfectly..
