Google Analytics Integration

[samad64]

I use PayPal for payment processing, so checkout_confirmation isn't the end of my goal because the user needs to visit paypal and then return before the order is complete. After completing payment on Paypal, I have defined the goal as payment_process.

It looks like my customers are being tracked all the way to when they are sent to paypal, but not afterward. Is there an issue defining a goal where the user goes to a different site and then returns before completing the goal?

Thanks Zenners!

Whoops.. I must have been sleepy when I typed everything up. I meant to say "checkout_success" is your goal, as the customer will see that page as the last part of the checkout process regardless of what payment method is used.

The reason checkout_process shouldn't be used is because the customer never really sees it when paying with paypal (to my knowledge). If i'm not mistaken, from checkout_confirmation they go to paypal, they send their payment, and then when it returns to the store it automatically goes to checkout_success. checkout_process is not seen as the ipn_main_handler is used and that is what calls the process :) I have paypal on my site as well but its been a while since I've run a test transaction through it

So.. this is what your steps should be like: (note links won't work since i copy pasted.. but you get the idea)

1. http://store.evolvinghealth.com/inde...ain_page=login
2. http://store.evolvinghealth.com/inde...ckout_shipping
3. http://store.evolvinghealth.com/inde...eckout_payment
4. http://store.evolvinghealth.com/inde...t_confirmation

GOAL: http://store.evolvinghealth.com/inde...eckout_success

Thanks for your explanations.

Yes!
It is fair for any payment system, including for free-of-charge. payment_process can not be used as the purpose as it are not processed as html-page and javascript can not be executed at this page.
And more. All order information for GoogleAnalitycs collect on checkout_success.

I've still the same problem: today, 3 orders.
First order (9:50 payment by Paypal)-->tracked by analytics OK;
second order (9:55 payment by cash)-->tracked OK;
third order (10:25 payment by Paypal)--> NOT tracked
I've zencart 1.3.5 and latest version of this mod (variant include, with include at the bottom of the tpl_footer.php)

Did the person return to the checkout success page? If not.. it won't track it . A lot of people click "Pay" and then wont wait for the redirect

The other problem could be if you have any other type of scripts running it may be conflicting

Sure! The customer return to ceckout_success page, because I can see his order in admin! I don't have any other type of script running
My question is: why first (paypal) tracked, second tracked, third NOT?

i don't think the customer HAS to return to the checkout_success page in order to make the order show up in admin.. i could be wrong though

You're correct.

With this in mind it appears using the Checkout_success as the "goal" may not provide the quality data desired, at least with Paypal IPN.

Anyone with ideas if Google Analytics can be better 'tuned" for Google Checkout than for PayPal (IPN or Express).

Hi,

I am kind of new at this so sorry if this is a dumb question.

When I am uploading the folders on to my site should the google_analytics folder be installed in:

includes/templates/mytemplate/ ?

or

includes/templates/mytemplates/jscript ?

Do I dump the folder in there or just move the contents of the folder into it. For example should it read:

includes/templates/mytemplates/jscript/google_analytics/
or
includes/templates/mytemplates/jscript/google_analytics.php


Also I'm not sure were this code is supposed to go

/*<body id="<?php echo $body_id . 'Body'; ?>"<?php if($zv_onload !='') echo ' onload="'.$zv_onload.'"'; ?>>*/

I'm a little confused. I tried to install it but I think my set up is a little out of wack.

I was also wondering if thier is an install for the yahoo site tracker jscript?

Sorry about all the questions.
