Have you turned on ecommerce tracking in your analytics account?

Yes, it should work automatically. I have installed this on many sites with no issues, as long as the ecommerce setting is turned on in google. You may want to try uninstalling and reinstalling? Have you ever had an older version of this mod or any other code relating to analytics on the site? Perhaps there is some old code somewhere interfering.

just the first one I installed and then this one now, I will give it a few days and see if it works. It is still a very new site so we don't necessarily get sales everyday yet to let me know if it is working, if not I am sure I will be back lol Thanks for the help

When you are in analytics and viewing ecommerce transactions, if you look in the upper right at the date range, you will notice it's always a day behind by default. Google says transactions can take 24 hours to show up, but I've found they generally show up much faster, but you have to adjust that date range to include today's date. When I do test transactions, I can usually see them within a few minutes as long as I update the date range.

Yes, this module automatically tracks ecommerce transactions as long as you turn that feature on from within the Zen Cart admin (configuration section) and also activate "Ecommerce Tracking" from within your Google Analytics Account.

There are two different Google Analytics Modules. One is called Google Analytics by Andrew (which apparently has some native issues and problems with tracking) and then there is the one I created called Simple Google Analytics. If you had the prior version installed, it includes a number of files that are not needed in my version. If that is the case, you may want to make sure you completely remove all files and db entries for that version before you re-install my version (the Simple Google Analytics one.)

zc 1.3.9h

A couple months ago within Google Analytics I upgraded to Universal Analytics. No obvious issues, but I noticed a few days ago that the tracking code on mysite was not the new Universal code and figured I better upgrade SGA.

I had 1.2.5 installed and upgraded to 1.2.6 today, copying the only file with changes, includes/templates/mytemplate/google_analytics/google_analytics.php

The old tracking code is still showing on my site. You had mentioned in November that the new version of SGA would have support for Universal Analytics, which I assume means version 1.2.6 released in Dec 2013? Or has that feature not been added yet for zc 1.3.9h?
