Editing Google Analytics eCommerce Javascript for Volusion
-
Does anyone know how to edit the ecommerce javascript with Volusion dynamic variables? I thought I did it correctly but none of the information got recorded in GA. It recorded that there was a transaction made but not info on the purchase price, order #, etc. This is the current code I am using:
NOTE: In Volusions customer support center they provided this information:
Where Order-Specific Information is Generated
Order-specific information can be generated by JavaScript on the OrderFinished.asp page within Volusion. On this page, two JavaScript arrays will be initialized that advanced users may need to be aware of. The arrays and their contents are as follow:
Order Array ContentsOrder[0] = Order ID
Order[1] = Unused
Order[2] = Payment Amount
Order[3] = Affiliate Commisionable Value
Order[4] = Sales Tax
Order[5] = Total Shipping Cost
Order[6] = Billing City
Order[7] = Billing State
Order[8] = Billing CountryOrderDetails Array Contents
OrderDetails[X][0] = Order ID
OrderDetails[X][1] = Order Detail ID
OrderDetails[X][2] = Product Code
OrderDetails[X][3] = Product Name
OrderDetails[X][4] = (unused)
OrderDetails[X][5] = Product Price
OrderDetails[X][6] = QuantityNote that in the above example, X refers to a line item number (beginning from zero). Note that there can be multiple Order Details arrays - one for each item contained within an order.
I'm a newbie at Analytics installation and could really use any help.
Thanks!

Thanks Gary! We've been looking everywhere and have tried several codes ourselves. Hoping this will work for our client's site.

Hi Jessica, The URLs below should help you out. http://guerrillo.com/add-google-analytics-volusion-store/ http://traffikco.com/blog/add-ecommerce-and-google-analytics-tracking-to-your-volusion-site/ It is not super technical stuff as long as you know how to copy paste it in my opinion. Best Regards, Gary

Hi Jessica, I work for Volusion and saw your question a couple of weeks ago. I sent you a private message but didn't hear back. There's a couple issues here.
As, Russ said above, you're referencing javascript variables inside single quotes, so the values for these variables are not 'seen'. If you take all references to Order[some digit]' out of the 'single quotes', google analytics should be able to 'see' the appropriate values. For example:
Where you have:
'Order[0]', // order ID - required
Should show like (no single quotes):
Order[0], // order ID - required
You would do this every time you see a reference to Order[some digit] and OrderDetails[x][some digit].
The second issue is a bit more complex. To send information about each product a customer may have ordered, you would need to loop through each set of products in the OrderDetails array. Because of the technical nature of the explanation, it would probably be simplest if you could privately message us your store url so we can make the updates for you.
Or, you could remove the existing google analytics you've implemented (general tracking and ecommerce tracking)...and use the recommended installation from the Volusion knowledge-base.
Hope this is helpful and please don't hesitate to reach out on a private message for more info.
Thank you.

From my first look, you are trying to call Javascript variables inside apostrophes. Should probably look like below, but I am just guessing.
_gaq.push(['_addItem',
OrderDetails[X][0],
OrderDetails[X][2],
OrderDetails[X][3],
'',
OrderDetails[X][5],
OrderDetails[X][6]
]);and the same would go for the other Order data.

Hi, My client has some strange urls appearing in GA which lead to error pages. Please see the following image: https://imgur.com/a/6TPO8yL e.g URLs like /h/6445738.html I've used screaming frog to see if these pages exist on the website and I can't find them, anywhere.

How do I track a primary domain and a subdomain as single site in Google Analytics?
Our website consists of a primary domain (marketing focused) and subdomain (ecommerce platform). The two sites look and function as one site even though they are using different technology. I would like to track the primary domain (example.com) and the subdomain (shop.example.com) as a single site in Google Analytics. The subdomain will be set up with GA ecommerce tracking as well. Can someone provide an example of the GA snippet that each would need?

Google Analytics Goal Tracking Not Working
I am trying to install goal tracking for a client to measure leads from SEO, and I'm running into problems with the Google Analytics goal tracking not working. The only thing that I can think of that is preventing goal tracking from working is that the URL confirming page request URI looks like "contact/#contact-form-4475" and perhaps the hashtag is causing problems. I wanted to ask the community if any of you have run into basic conversion tracking problems like this, where you need to track form fills on a website via a confirmation URL/destination URL goal, and what you did to solve it? I appreciate any input on how to get data on conversions either by fixing the goal in GA or using a different tracking tool. Thanks!

When javascript is disabled, does a visit register goal completion in Google Analytics?
I'm looking for reasons why Google Analytics goal completions would appear to be fewer than the actual known number of online sales for a company, and I'm wondering if disabled javascript is likely to be the primary cause of a discrepancy. Thanks for any insight you have.

Google analytics and software applications
Hei Guys. I think i know the answer for this one but i thought i ask you in order to be 100% sure. Ok let's go.. So i set up url based goals in Google analytics. My website (what are running on WordPress) has google analytics enabled but just before customers makes desired action i have to send them to the application page. Trick is that the application page is not running on wordpress and doesn't have google analytic tracking. After customer fills the application form i send him to my /thank-you page on my wordpress site. My question is: Does the conversion still count because customer left my website for a minute in order to fill in the application form? Best Regards, Tauri
