wriggles: The problem is they don’t have a session started yet. You’d need to start a new session and then add the items and then you should be good.

Comment on Tracking One Page Checkout Abandonment with Google Analytics, Properly! by cubix

Nice one… I think one a standard magento installation, you can define the funnels like this:

/checkout/onepage
/checkout/onepage/opc-billing
/checkout/onepage/opc-shipping
/checkout/onepage/opc-shipping_method
/checkout/onepage/opc-payment
/checkout/onepage/opc-review
/checkout/onepage/opc-review-placeOrderClicked
/checkout/onepage/success/

Each of them will be a step.. Is this correct? I picked it up from http://www.magentocommerce.com/extension/171/fooman-google-analytics-plus

@cvinson86:

I had the same issue as you with the code described above. The following is my stock_item creation/update code that seemed to fix the issue. I still have yet to test the validity of the created records, but this at least allows me to save the stock item:

// update the stock item associated with the product
$stockItem = Mage::getModel(’cataloginventory/stock_item’);
$stockItem->assignProduct($product);
$stockItem->setData(’is_in_stock’, 1);
$stockItem->setData(’stock_id’, 1);
$stockItem->setData(’store_id’, 1);
$stockItem->setData(’manage_stock’, 0);
$stockItem->setData(’use_config_manage_stock’, 0);
$stockItem->setData(’min_sale_qty’, 0);
$stockItem->setData(’use_config_min_sale_qty’, 0);
$stockItem->setData(’max_sale_qty’, 1000);
$stockItem->setData(’use_config_max_sale_qty’, 0);

$stockItem->save();

When you say, “Change badrequest.php to the URL of your choice,” what do you mean exactly? That is.. what might influence my decision to change it? I’m not certain how it’s being used, and I wouldn’t want to change it to something random, just for fun.

Thanks for the excellent tips! I love your blog.
