 11/06/2019  - Updates  plugin version 4.3.0   -  Plugin improvements: Changed the event to transfer information about the transaction in Google Analytics - (This is due to the fact that many store owners have online payment on their websites, and so that the transaction is transferred to Google Analytics - now the transfer of transaction information is transmitted immediately after the order is created in the store, and not as before from going to the finish page).

15/08/2020 - Updates  plugin version 3.9.0 - The functionality of sending information about a transaction to Google Analytics has been changed. Now, the purchase information is sent to GA only according to the order status specified by you in the plugin parameters. This will make the sales statistics more accurate and stable.

 

 

Why is the functionality of sending information about a transaction to GA implemented exactly when the order status changes?

This is implemented specifically for more accurate sales statistics, since when creating an order in a store, many customers may refuse this order, but this transaction has already been sent to Google Analytics and because of this, the statistics are not correct, since, fact, the sale of the product did not take place. To do this, at the numerous requests of sellers, we have implemented the functionality to send information about a purchase to GA only for a specific order status. You yourself set in the parameters of the pligan on what status to send information to Google Analytics that a purchase has occurred in your online store.

3). Added functions with setPurchaseVmOrderGa (), getPurchaseVmOrderGa (), cleanPurchaseVmOrderGa

Since I have Google Analytics in my template (so also available for non virtuemart pages) I now get double hits cause the GA script loads twice. Can you have an option to not load the GA script... or (but not preferred) load on all pages.

I found the fields in the datalayer but can't get them to work in Google Tag Manager. It says 'unidentified'.

Do you guys provide support for this issue? I'm really stuck.

Hello! Interested to buy. We are currently using different Google Tags for each different language of our Joomla site, i guess this it no problem? We are using the GTM code through the template style, i guess this will be handled by the plugin now? Also, any plans to implement dynamic remarketing also? Most of the code is practically there i guess.

No, Google Ads ID parameter optional. The most important thing is to enter your Google ID, everything else is as you wish.

Affiliation also an optional parameter if you want to identify a specific site.

Provide Order Status Code for Submitting Return Information to Google Analytics - Example: R
