Tracking a Deposit Page Through Google Analytics: Which is a better way?

[Francis.Magos]

Good day to all,

I do have game download website (Works like Google Play and Steam) and currently working on the deposit page which is payable by fund transfer and Paypal. The thing is I do not have a confirmation page that I can use to track all incoming successful and unsuccessful conversions for this deposit page. My question is, which is better to use for this kind of tracking a goal in Google Analytics? Are we going to use a virtual page or and event tracking method? How can I track users that visit the deposit page that weren't able to do a deposit attempt?

Thanks for answering this question. Have a good day ahead.

Thanks for this, Aaron.

I am currently weighing both virtual confirmation pages and event tracking method. Never tried the event tracking method though. As far as my knowledge about virtual pages, they will not trigger the conversion if the attempt is failed.

I would most likely use event tracking as it means you don't need to move the user to another page. You can program it into the website to send the data as it happens.

Here is a good page about setting up event tracking Click here

Just wanted to add that than you could setup goal tracking from the event itself once setup. This will allow you to track conversions better or non conversions.
