Simple Google Analytics - Support

[BassFace]

I can't figure this out. I have set up GA and this mod, tracking is working but no purchase info is being tracked.
I ran a test order and verified that this code is at the bottom of the 'checkout_success' page.

<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-1412881-2");
pageTracker._initData();
pageTracker._trackPageview();

pageTracker._addTrans(
"24",
"",
"91.88",
"3.40",
"0.00",
"Aurora",
"Colorado",
"United States"
);

pageTracker._addItem(
"24",
"180",
"Discovery",
"Wine of the Month Club Full Year",
"85.00",
"1"
);
pageTracker._trackTrans();</script>

I am trying to understand GA Funnels and Goals, but do I need to set a Goal and a Funnel for this transaction tracking to work?

One thing that has me very unsure is that I have my ZC installed in the /shop subdirectory, so in GA I set the site as:
http://www.mysite.com/shop/
and home page as index.php, index.php?mainpage=, index.php?mainpage=index

Any GA gurus know what I'm doing wrong here???

You do NOT need to setup Goals or Funnels for Ecom transactions to work. They are handy to have but are a totally separate tracking feature provided by Google Analytics (triggered and based upon url usually).

It doesn't matter if you have your cart in a subdirectory or not as long as you setup your goals to point to the proper location (and then properly setup your funnels to do so as well.)

In short though you do not need to set up those two in order for the transaction (ecom portion) to work.

Here are two links that might help you figure out how to make it work:

Thank you for those links. It has started tracking sales . Perhaps there is just a delay in the reports on the GA site?

Glad to see it's now working for you. :)
