Universal Analytics Ecommerce data
-
Hi there,
I have started to use Universal Analytics on my ecommerce site. I have implemented the code using Google Tag Manager.
I don't see any ecommerce data on Universal Google Analytics under Conversions/Ecommerce. Can you please point me to the right direction?
Also, can you please send me the best article on this topic? I want to know the bit of code that I have to add and all that UA can provide to get the most of my data for my ecommerce store.
Thanks and regards

What I would say is that you need to know what CMS you are using.

Hi footd,
Congrats on beginning to use Universal Analytics (UA) for your site, you're on your way to gathering that all important data. Also, using Google Tag Manager (GTM) is another great tool and highly recommended - so congrats again on the wise choices.
After implementing Enhanced Ecommerce, it can take 24-48 hours for data to appear in GA, so if you've only recently implemented the code you may need to wait longer to see the data.
Unfortunately, implementing Enhanced Ecommerce tracking can be different in each environment (WordPress, Magento, custom CMS, custom websites, ect). Himanshu Sharma of Optimize Smart wrote a fantastic article covering EE, its benefits, and implementation here: http://www.optimizesmart.com/understanding-enhanced-ecommerce-tracking-universal-analytics/
Best of luck!

How accurate is Google analytics at measuring traffic? (Free version)
Hi Guys. When we compare our actual sales to Google analytics conversions it can be way out. Sometimes as much as 50%. Is this the same for the data on traffic? And if so, does the data tend to be out by a similar amount over time? i.e) If we compare this year and last year it give us a good indicator of differences in traffic volume? (albeit not 100% accurate?) Thanks. Isaac.

Google Analytics, new property or views?
Hi All We have an existing Google analytics account which was customised relatively heavily a few years back, with custom variables, e-commerce tracking and the a large number of filters. We have determined that the custom variables and e-commerce tracking, at least for now, are no longer required and actually complicating our lives. We want to simplify the account and add a fresh set of goals and events. Our initial train of thought was to create an entire new property with the usual views, raw, test, main etc. We are proposing to retain both properties (6 months) so we can still do some comparative stuff. We're now wondering if we should retain the existing property and just create new views, the downside being that whilst we can compare data with previous periods it's meaningless to some degree as the filters etc are different. The plus of more views is that we're not firing the tag twice retaining two properties. Views and opinions welcome. Thanks

Transferring Google analytics accounts
Hi, Does anyone know if you can transfer an Google Analytics account. We are looking to take over a new clients existing website and the analytics account is registered to their current web designers. Is it possible to transfer it to the client so that their existing web company no longer has access and they keep all their historical data, or do we have to start from scratch. Thanks Fraser
