Simple Google Analytics - Support

[Buster]

Thanks for your help econcepts. I got the mod to work. Is is possible to add the code to the home page? It's flash

I would like to install this to track the ecommerce conversion rate from adwords.

However, I do not use the standard zen cart checkout method, I only use google checkout of which does not communicate with zen cart because I allow them to checkout without creating an account on my website.


Therefore my stock totals don't subtract, or orders go into the admin.

Is it still possible for me to track adwords conversion with this mod? What page would I use for checkout success, response handler?

I have google analytics installed right now, but it shows $0.00 for ecommerce, I have not set any goals or anything.

You could so this for the home page.

1) View one of your shop pages in a browser, then perform a "view source". Copy and paste the code from the bottom of the page.

2) Now, Manually paste that code into the "flash" home page.

Hi

Just to confirm I too am having discrepencies with the new analytics.

I am having 0.00 revenue figured for some transactions.

And the Adwords Campaign figures do not tally either. I think if the revenue from a transaction is 0.00 then in e-commerce tab of the ad-words section it shows as no transaction.

I think I made sense???

I'm seeing this too on a number of sites now. I am researching it on the Internet and with Google. The tracking code is up to spec according to them, so there may be something else causing it.

You can still track AdWords conversion IF (and only IF) you have access to (as in able to modify it) the "thank you page" the user is taken to after a sale.

If you have the ability to do that, then all you have to do is insert the Tracking code that you'll find under your Adwords account (not in Zen) onto that "thank you page" and you should be good to go.

If your thank you page is the Zen Cart "checkout success" then all you have to do is turn on Conversion Tracking from within the Zen Admin and enter your conversion tracking ID in the space provided (again, in the Zen admin).

Yeah I figured that, and unfourtnely I don't have access to the thank you page that is on the googles end. You can control where it goes once they hit keep shopping, but obviously most people will not click that.

I am going to find some way, there must be.

I'm seeing this - as well as orders with missing items (both in the 0 total orders and the non 0 totals)

can't find any rhyme or reason for it

one thought - if the user clicks away from the checkout success page before the javascript has had chance to comlete (slow connection??) would that cause the problem??

I don't think that is the case at all. Once that page loads, it records. Until Google released the new "ga.js" version of code, everything seemed to work fine with many clients I use it on.

Once that code was released I began to see a number of users across the Internet reporting this issue as well. I can't be sure, but am feeling it may be a Google issue. Recently, one of the client sites that was incorrectly recording data began to properly record it again without me making any changes.

I am running zc 1.3.8a and MySQL 5.x

I read the installation instructions for a new install and followed them - I thought.

I installed this S-G-A mod, using the Tools > Install SQL Patch to install the mysql file, browsed to your .sql file on my HD and clicked Upload.

I then went to Admin > Configuration > Google Analytics and set things up, putting in my GA code, etc.

I see Adwords clicks, but I get no records in my Google Analytics reports. Is there something more I need to do with the mysql patch? When I "uploaded" it nothing appeared in the ZC text area that is labeled "Enter query". Was I supposed to do a copy/paste here? I know nothing about mysql queries.

Correction:

I used the term "GA code". I should have said GA account ID, which I pasted into the Config > Google Anaylitics setup. I have no idea which version of the code your mod grabs for my pages.
