Virtuemart tracking for Google Analytics j2.5/vm2.x
Virtuemart transactions tracker extension for Google Analytics.
Required Joomla 2.5 - Virtuemart 2.x
Track visitors and Virtuemart e-commerce transactions in Google Analytics, with any payment methods!
It works with any payment method because it is fired both by web-payment method than by changing status order in Virtuemart! It uses a server-side procedure instead of javascript, so tracking is done just when a web-payment-service or the administrator changes the order status to pending to confirmed (or shipped).
This extension is different, very different from the others. How many of you tried a virtuemart transactions extension that works... not works... works.... not works....
This is because they all use javascript. We use php, so the tracking is done by the server. Just the user is tracking with javascript, but transactions are stored in Google Analytics with a server-side request.
You just need to install, set your google ID, and nothing else.
Main Features:
- Very easy to use: install and work.
- Google Analytics Account
- Tracking your normal user-traffic by javascript!
- Tracking on Multi Top Level Domains
- Option to override Google settings, as Sample rate, Cookie timeout, and more
- Optional Google Webmaster Tools verification code
- Status for tracking conversion (confirmed or shipped). Confirmed is set automatically from web-based payment, as paypal
- Status for refunding conversion (refunded or cancelled). It can finally delete a refunded conversion to Google Analytics! Quite unique!
- Normal tracking or extended order items tracking
- Banned payment for excluding payments methods from tracking (for example: payment with points!)
- php __utm.gif server-side tracking for transactions to Google Analytics. It work with all web-payment and when admin change orders to the target status.
The Virtuemart transactions tracker extension is all you need to integrate Joomla and Virtuemart to Google Analytics.
Important note
- Set your Google Analytics account to "e.commerce" account (in the administration settings)
- Set in Paypal profile account the IPN option (Istant Payment Notification) as shown in documentation page
