D'oh! I realized the issue was something else I changed last week and only noticed now. Thanks.

No problem. It happens. :)

I have the most recent version of this contribution however, running on 1.38a (heavily modded)

In Google Analytics it shows this:

Product Revenue $14.95 - Quantity - 1

When in fact it should be 23.

I do not allow the customers to just simply choose a quantity from the quantity box since each product has it's own customization.

So, this order was all for the same product but with different attribute/values selected. (from over 2,000 choices)

Is there something I need to do to my code to have Google correctly track this order? Right now it thinks I sold only "one" of that "one product". I'm sure this is messing with my counts for the year and other metrics / etc...

Thank you for any help in this matter.

I've got it running fine on a number of sites that use multiple attributes etc... and it all works fine.

Let's see if we can't narrow down the problem on your site here.

I'm not sure which portion you said was incorrect however in your description.

Is the "quantity" being calculated incorrectly (which causes the price to be incorrect)?

Is it the "total" that is being calculated incorrectly (and the quantity etc... is all correct?

I suspect that maybe somewhere in your programming (if any of the heavily modded sections deal with the attributes and pricing) that this might be the cause. My thinking is that if this has been modified then maybe the total is not being carried over correctly (to the proper value) and this is causing the analytics to only pick up the total (minus the attributes).

Let me know answers to the above and we'll see if we can't sort it out.

I posted a thread, but I now see this thread!
Simple problem, hopefully a simple fix.

My website is not passing the session information to Paypal, so when they return to the site to complete the sale google analytics shows every sale as [mysite].co.uk instead of the actual traffic source. The traffic source does show up correct in other areas of analytics, just not for purchases.
In Paypal I have added utm_nooverride=1 to the return page in Paypal's settings - That's suppose to pass the session back from Paypal to my site.
So my guess is that it's still not working as my site is not passing the info to Paypal.

I assume I have to add something in my google_analytics.co.uk to do that?

If I understand you correctly, you'll need to capture the info passed via PayPal (in the query string) and add that to GA.

If you can pull this off, the best way of doing this is to send a a variable that Google Already tracks back in your pass back query string.

Try using the Google URL builder to get the proper parameter in there.

Let me know if this helps.

econcepts, how does setting Recreation Session in Admin - Session to True affect this mod? Obviously, when this is set to true, the session will change when the customer attempts to login or create account. How does this affect tracking?

Thanks!

If I'm installing this mod for the first time on a store using ZenCart version 1.3.8a, which version of the mod should I install? Will the most recent 1.3.9 version be compatible, or should I download the older version for 1.3.8?

Thanks in advance for any advice on this

Any version of this mod will work for your needs. The best option is to choose the newest version.

Recreating the session has no effect on this tracking mod. It tracks the same person all the way through via Google (with cookies etc...)

They will be seen as the same 'unique visitor' either way you set it.
