    Does anyone know if there’s already an easy way to track transactions in Google Analytics? Something like this: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/google-analytics-e-commerce-tracking-for-wp-e-commerce/

    Nope, what are you really after? If it adds real value then I will consider adding it.

    What I’m after is the ability to correlate my specific sales to Google Analytics. This way I know what add campaign or email marketing campaign is generating the sale. Google has an E-Commerce addon to Analytics that does just that. This is a feature I would love to see.

    Here’s a link to a presentation about it. http://services.google.com/analytics/breeze/en/ecommerce/index.html

    Sounds like a very good idea… I have added the Google Analytics ecommerce tracking for WP eStore. The following URL should explain it all:

    Ok, I don’t see this image http://www.tipsandtricks-hq.com/ecommerce/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/google-analytics-ecommerce-tracking-estore.gif, so I’ve requested an upgrade.

    Thanks again!

    I too do not see the Google Analytics checkbox.

    I’m on Version 2.9.8 with an update (https://support.tipsandtricks-hq.com/forums/topic/custom-checkout-page-style-not-showing).

    What is the latest version and how do I get an update?

    Thank you.

    When you do get the latest .zip, you may want to use ftp to upload it. When I uploaded in WordPress’s Add New Plugins dialogue, the old version stuck around.

    @clickradius, I have a feeling that you didn’t deactivate and delete the plugin before uploading a new one. First, deactivate and delete the older version and then upload and activate the new one (don’t worry… no saved data will get lost). When you upload from WordPress plugin uploader it doesn’t overwrite (it uploads a new copy).

    If you upload using FTP client then you won’t have this issue.

    Ok, I have the latest version of estore and have clicked the “Enable Google Analytics Tracking” box. But so far I’ve had a few purchases go through with nothing to show for it in Google Analytics. Any idea on what other settings I may be missing?

    Did you follow the instructions at the following post?

    Mostly. When i got to slides 9 and 10 in the google presentation [http://services.google.com/analytics/breeze/en/ecommerce/index.html], I wasn’t sure what to do. Does the eStore automatically fill in the code to track transactions?

    Also, do I need to log into paypal and point completed orders to the thank you page that has the confirmation code on it? Or is that a setting I set in the eStore?

    Thanks,

    You should only need to follow the instructions on this page:

    Google Analytics E-Commerce Tracking for WP eStore

    After the payment on PayPal are you clicking on the “Return to merchant” button and coming back to your “Thank You” page? This is required for it to work.

    Please make sure you do not have “Auto Return” turned on in your PayPal profile (if you do then PayPal won’t send the payment data to the “Thank You” page and eStore won’t be able to register the sale through your Google analytics.

    Also note that there is a bit of delay in your Google Analytics stats display so the transactions won’t appear instantly after payment.
