Simple Google Analytics - Support

Like any other override, you need to copy the tpl_main_page from the default template folder, make the change as per the add-on instructions and copy the modified file back to your templates folder (NOT the default template folder)..

I grabbed the file from the default template folder, made the change to it, then put it back into the includes/templates/*currenttemplate*/common

and it still isnt working, unless Im still doing this wrong.

That's possible.. You might wanna post the contents of your tpl_main_page file here.. (Make sure you use the CODE or PHP tags when you post it) This mod is a pretty simple install..

I went to your site and it says that the tracking is now installed (I also verified that by looking at your source code.)

You need to now go back into your Google Analytics accouunt and "verify" the tracking again (for that profile). That will send out Google to look and verify your tracking is installed.

Once they verify it (a few seconds) you'll see "waiting for data" ... and eventually "gathering data".

You're almost there.

Yupp, it all seems to be working now, I guess ZenCart had to wait a bit to pull from that file? But either way, its all working now.

I remember this being mentioned somewhere - but couldn't find it through searches. I just had a customer pay through Paypal, and it didn't track the sale in GA e-commerce. Any way to get it to track the sale when customer pays with Paypal?

As long as the customer is re-rerouted back to your site after the sale then they should be tracked even when paying with PayPal.

I work with a number of store owners who use PayPal in in one way shape or form on their sites and in all cases the sales are tracked ok.

Did you make sure you setup your return url in PayPal to go back to the zen cart site when the payment is complete? If not, you might want to look at doing that. The return url will then trigger the sale.

Hope that helps.

I have installed the version of the SGA Contribution v1.2.2 and using the ltest version of Zen Cart. I already had a Google Analytics Account along with Adwords. I use PayPal as my processor. I have a regular website were a "buy now" link takes you to my Zen Cart store. I am using a custom template and made the necessary modifications.

I clicked thru one of my ads and made a purchase thru my store without error. I did this twice yesterday and do not see it tracked.

I followed the directions according to the contribution. I placed the contents of both the Admin and Includes folders into the respective locations. Was I supposed to just place the folders themselves into the main directory of the store? Am I supposed to modify "checkout success" page? My web is www.blackoutez.com.



Thanks in advance

Some thoughts to make sure you didn't miss anything:

1) Did you turn on "Conversion Tracking" from within the Zen Cart admin and also enter your Adwords conversion tracking id?

2) Did you turn on conversion tracking and copy the proper tracking id from the Adwords account? (You'll insert this tracking id into the Zen Cart admin under the "Conversion Tracking" text section.

3) You do not need to alter the checkout success page etc... (my contribution automatically does that for you as long as you turn on the proper elements from within the Config section of the zen admin for SGA.)

4) Have you setup a cookie on your computer to exclude your IP or address from the reports? If so your conversion won't track.

Let me know if that helps.

It's working now! I did not do step 1). I thought I did everything. Thanks for the help. I am going to purchase your book right now to show my appreciation. Thanks so much!

You're right, it did track the sale. I was too vague. It didn't track which products or how much the sale was.
