How does this part of the module work?

What do I need to set as goals in Analytics?

Many thanks.

1. Login to your Analytics account.
2. Choose Edit besides your profile.
3. Check, that you have clicked Yes to E-Commerce Website part.
4. Choose currency.
5. Make a goal, check active goal to Yes. The goal url is http://yoursite/funnel_G1/checkout.thankyou.htm
6. Leave Goal value field empty or type in 0.
7. Leave other fields empty for now.

If possible, make a test purchase with cash and see, if you have your order information inside a form in receipt page. It should look like this:


UTM:T|7|Joomla 13|53.18|4.05|0.00|Los Angeles|LA|USA
UTM:I|7|6|Hammer|Hand Tools |1.00000|1
UTM:I|7|5|Nice Saw|Hand Tools Hand Tools |23.14242|2


Please note, that if the payment method doesn't have a receipt page, then of course, it's not possible to track purchases with that payment method. For default paypal and cash on delivery have receipt page.

Check your E-commerce report after 24-48 hours. If your goal is working, then add funnels.

Does the www. make a difference in the results?

What do you mean exactly?

suski,

I followed your instructions above and that did successfully enable the goal conversion tracking in GA. Thanks.

But, my ecommerce revenue tracking is still not functioning.

I think what's missing is a call to the utmSetTrans function on my checkout.thankyou.htm page as described by google:

QUOTE:
Finally, the utmSetTrans function must be called after the form is submitted in order to record the transaction. This can be most easily accomplished through a body onLoad event within the opening tag:

Code:

If you don't have the ability to edit the body tag, you can call the utmSetTrans function within a separate script tag as long as you ensure that the function is called after the form:

Code:

__utmSetTrans();

Please advise and thanks.

sorry, but I can't seem to get the code snippet from that google link to display correctly. Please follow the above link.
