How Do I Set Up Google Enhanced Ecommerce Tracking?

Enhanced Ecommerce Tracking for Google Analytics allows you to dynamically measure user interactions with products on your website shop throughout the user's shopping experience. It includes areas such as; product impressions, product clicks, viewing product details, adding a product to a shopping cart, initiating the checkout process, transactions, and refunds!

This information will be extremely useful in assessing conversions and how to improve your users ordering experience resulting in higher sales.

To switch this functionality on in your Google Analytics account please follow the steps below:

  1. Sign in to your Google Analytics account.
  2. Select "Admin" at the top of your Analytics account.
  3. Select the "View" for which you want to enable the Enhanced Ecommerce tracking.
  4. In the View column, click "Ecommerce Settings"
  5. Within the Step 1 setting, "Enable Ecommerce", set the status to "ON" and select "Next step".

     6. Within the Step 2 setting, "Enhanced Ecommerce Settings", set the status to "ON". This option enables you to:

     7. Add your optional funnel steps. You can come back and do this if you so wish.
