Was this information Helpful?

So I have finally launched the site I've been working on for few months and have setup the Google Analytics [GA] module for it. I'd like to setup some 'Conversion Goals', as GA puts it, but was wondering if anyone has done this yet and has some tips they wnt to share.

I guess a typical UC funnel process would be:

www.example.com/cart
www.example.com/cart/checkout
www.example.com/cart/checkout/review
www.example.com/cart/checkout/complete

?

Any others?

Re: Google analytics Goals for Ubercart?

Dunno... only other I can think of would be tracking users who make their accounts on their own. If there was some way to track users who created accounts and ordered later, that would be cool.

Re: Re: Google analytics Goals for Ubercart?

Google analytics supports user segmentation. See: http://www.google.com/support/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?answer=75010

We could just specify a user segment as someone who already has an account.

Along with this it would be nice to know what payment method was used for each order.

Re: Google analytics Goals for Ubercart?

I want to set up some conversion goals for user account creation as Ryan mentioned above.

Is anyone willing to post up the way they've set up their goals?

Re: Works great for me...

Don't want to be a stinker, but the review page is actually /cart/checkout/review. Is it working for you as is?

Re: Re: Works great for me...

I was going to point that out too. Just this weekend got GA Goals working on the RiffTrax site and had to make that small change. Works fine now after that! Will report more as soon as I've collected more data Smiling

Re: Re: Works great for me...

This has been working for us, however - this is because the GA goal success doesn't depend on consecutive page views but can occur in any order. So if a page in the funnel is never "triggered" GA just assumes that if the user made it to the next step they also made it to the previous step. I've attached a screen shot. I've updated my goal to reflect the proper URL.

BTW: Because Ubercart has such a simple and robust checkout process our success rate is stupendous! Now we just need more visitors!

Hey guys,

Please seem my post here: http://www.ubercart.org/forum/support/3638/uc_googleanalytics_doesnt_wor...

If you change your core Google Analytics module (not the Ubercart module) to NOT use the Legacy google tracking code, your commerce transactions and goals will dive, because Ubercart is using the Legacy code, while Google has released a new version that ebables more features. So I updated the uc_googleanalytics.module file to check which it's using and to use whichever script is appropriate.

Still testing at the moment but I hope to have some results soon.

Patch to support latest Google Analytics code

Hey Ryan,

I added a patch to support the latest Google Analytics code. It can be found at http://drupal.org/node/280090. The patch was made against Ubercart 5.x-1.0.

Cheers,

Re: Patch to support latest Google Analytics code

You, sir, rock. I wanted to get back to this but it wasn't a priority. I'll be glad to test this out.

Hi.
This seems like the place to post this question...
I am setting up GA for an ubercart 5.1 site. I clicked to turn on the GA ubercart module... but I did not see any special configuration for that. Did I miss something?
Anything special to configure for uc ga?

Also... there's been a lot of discussion going on and I'm not quite sure what the outcome is at this point.

I set up GA to use the new js code (not urchin) and I haven't seen any data showing up yet... but it is still very new.

I was wanting to use the ecommerce tracking
https://www.google.com/support/googleanalytics/bin/answer.py?answer=5552...

Is this possible?

If someone could direct me to some information on what all I need to do to make ubercart 5.1 and GA work properly I would appreciate it.

Thanks!
-J

@Insurrectus: For the 'Home Included' Funnel, don't you want to select 'Required Step' for the first step?

Re: Google analytics Goals for Ubercart?

Not every sale is found in my goals. Why?

On 'funnel visualisation' in google analytics I see:
85 cart
17 checkout
17 review
17 complete

1 from the 17 is from the 2nd july.

But I sell 3 items on the 2nd july.

Also the ecommerce module in google analytics only see one selled item.

I don´t see a logic until now, which is included/excluded.
I use the old google analytics JS (urchin.js)
