Installing Google Analytics On Your Magento Stores

Installing Google Analytics is simple, just extract your unique identifier from Google Analytics. The unique identifier for each site can be found next to the URL, like so:

http://www.example.com/   UA-1234567-1

Then go to your admin panel URL and navigate to System -> Configuration -> Google API -> Google Analytics

Or add: /system_config/edit/section/google/ to your admin panel URL.

Remember, you can add different unique tracking identifiers to different stores and store views by selecting the relevant store or view from the dropdown on the left hand side of the configuration panel.

    Does the magento google analytics API support google analytics ecommerce features?

    I’m trying to install different Google Analytics profiles to different stores within my Magento site. I am having trouble. When I use a common code on all stores they read just fine, and the tracking works. When I try and specify and install different codes from other profiles to the specific sites, it says no tracking. I’m confused on how to specify from the different sites, could you help? Please?

    Are there special settings I’ve to make for full e-commerce tracking with Google Analytics? On our shop it doesn’t work for every sale, only for a few.

    This is a known bug in some versions of Magento, there are no special settings :)

    Tell me Darryl, what’s the best way to track progress through the one page checkout? Does this method do that or would we need to add TrackPageview calls on the “continue” buttons?

    Mr May! Do you refer to my other post regarding GA? Here:

    http://magentoexpert.co.uk/2009/03/08/tracking-one-page-checkout-abandonment-with-google-analytics-properly/

    That will add page view calls to each stage of the one page checkout, or at least it did when I wrote that post.

    Let me know if I can be of any further assistance! :)

    I have google analytics set up for our magento store. The content overview in google analytics however, just shows pages as /index.php?id=175 and all just show an id which I can’t relate to any page. If you can advise on how to get proper page names (if possible) then I would be eternally greatful. Thanks
