Install Google Tag Manager
Copy the code below and paste it onto every page of your website.
Paste this code as high in the of the page as possible:
Google makes it ‘seem’ a breeze but…
where does the snippet code get pasted ???
and do I really have to paste it in the code of EVERY page ( as in 800 product listing )??
I know there is a Google Tag Manager add on.
Would this add on do the trick for me because I don’t want to pay for an add on
and STILL have this ‘where to paste code’ problem.
Just noticed something.
There doesn’t appear to be any way to see what products a buyer has clicked on.
Only when they place an item into the cart or remove it.
Is this correct ?
I have already disabled it in my add ons.
I am in the process of completely removing my Google analytics account and starting over.
I am also looking for other ‘easier’ analytics software.
Do anyone know what events should be added in tag manager for purchases? To track purchases in cs cart
should we use default dataLayer or we need to modify it or add new datalayer
@ecomlabs@CS-Cart_team could you please tell me how to track the purchase event in tag manager what is the event that I should add in tag manager, what are elements that trigger a purchase in cs cart.
I did for “add_to_cart” event but for purchase is no very clear what is/are triggers
@CS-Cart_team no need to know GTM. What is the event that trigger a purchase in cs cart, what elements show that a purchase was made? In order to be used by external scripts to confirm that was a purchase for marketing / tracking purposes
In the settings of the Google analytics add-on the Track e-commerce transactions setting has to be enabled and once a customer opens the checkout.complete page (by default the Order landing page layout page), the purchase event will be triggered.
Hello, this Google Tag Manager is incredibly confusing for me. There’s no clear explanation anywhere, or I can’t find it. I’m using your plugin, and I’m satisfied. It works quite well. However, I’m having trouble with tracking data layer-related and some important conversions in Analytics. Now, when I add the code you mentioned to the relevant place in the addon and create tags in GTM for actions like purchase or add to cart, selecting “data layer,” will I be able to see these in Analytics? Also, you mentioned that the Analytics plugin creates a data layer. I’m using that too, but unfortunately, I can’t see any data in Analytics. I couldn’t find a place with a detailed explanation of this (CS Cart and GTM usage), unfortunately.
I think I have to manage the Data Layer Variables but do not how. The gtm addon (Quick Tag Management From Google) from another dev doens’t have the option purchase to select. I am so confused. I really need to find a way to see which google ads campains leads to purchase. So I can improve my ads.
I miss the statistics add on in the old version of CS-Cart ( long ago deprecated ) where you could see all the action live. No good for analytics but fun to watch who was visiting and putting stuff in carts live.
