to address your last point, do you mean to say I can't just paste the google conversion tracking code into my checkout success page and be done with it? what else would i be missing?
A few things ...

1) The only "conversion tracking" script Google provides you with either relates directly to Adwords or Optimizer. There is no 'conversion script' for Analytics. Analytics automatically tracks your conversions if you have the proper code in place.

This module places the proper code in the right locations (even for Google Adwords conversion tracking) throughout the site and on the 'checkout success' pages.

So if you go and manually try to add the code to those page(s) you'll conflict with what is already in place.


2) If talking about Google Analytics, then the 'added tracking' which would be placed on the checkout success page is the 'ecommerce tracking'. However, this too is already inserted along with my module, so no need to manually add that either.


3) If you just place the conversion tracking script that Google gave you (for Adwords of course) on your thank you page, you might track a conversion, but you won't have the dynamic tracking ability that my script provides. So instead of getting an order for $50 (as an example) recorded as $50, you'll get an order, but it will likely show either $1 or "$0" for the value.

The module I've built automatically takes the order information and adds it to the proper locations to be tracked.


In short, everything you need to track all types of transactions is included with the Simple Google Analytics module. You shouldn't have to place any tracking code manually anywhere on the site. Doing so could conflict with what is already being tracked.

If you added manual code you likely caused a conflict. I would recommend removing the manually inserted code and letting the module do the work for you.
