overview

Google Analytics Enhanced E-Commerce allows you to send product impressions, promotions and sales data with all Google Analytics pageviews and events. Use pageviews to track product impressions and product purchases. and use events to track checkout steps and product clicks.

before you start

We recommend checking theImproved ecommerce data types and actionsSection ofEnhanced ECommerce Developer Guideto help you plan your implementation. The guide will help you understand which fields are required and optional for each e-commerce interaction you want to measure.

Enable Enhanced Ecommerce

In most implementations, you must enable Enhanced Ecommerce for each Universal Analytics page view or event tag. There are two ways to enable Enhanced Ecommerce in the Tag Editor screen of the web interface:

  • Deploy with the data layer (recommended)
  • Implement using a custom JavaScript macro

While both methods provide equivalent eCommerce functionality, we recommend that any website that supports a data layer use the data layer method. In this guide, the Data Layer method is presented by default, whileUsing a custom JavaScript macrois documented at the end of this guide.

Using the data layer

The following sections show how to use the data layer to measure the following advanced eCommerce activities:

  • product impressions
  • product clicks
  • Product detail printouts
  • add/remove cart
  • advertising impressions
  • action clicks
  • Box
  • shopping
  • refunds

Delete ecommerce object

We recommend using the following command to delete the ecommerce object before posting an ecommerce event to the data layer. Deleting the object prevents multiple eCommerce events on a page from affecting each other.

dataLayer.push({ Ecommerce: null }); // Delete the previous eCommerce object.

Measure product impressions

  • E-commerce measurement:impressions
  • Accepted data: matrix ofimpressionFieldObjects

Evaluate product impressions usingPrintAction and one or moreimpressionFieldObjects. The following example assumes that details about the products displayed on a page are known at the time the page is loaded:

<script>// Measures product impressions and also tracks a //default pageview for tag configuration.// Product impressions are sent by sending an impression object // containing one or more impressionFieldObjects.dataLayer.push( { ecommerce: null }) contains . ; // Delete the previous ecommerce object.dataLayer.push({ 'ecommerce': { 'currencyCode': 'EUR', // Local currency is optional. 'impressions': [ { 'name': 'Triblend Android T-Shirt ' , // Name or ID required. 'id': '12345', 'price': '15.25', 'brand': 'Google', 'category': 'Apparel', 'variant': 'Grey' , 'list': 'Search results', 'position': 1 }, { 'name': 'Scented Donut Friday T-shirt', 'id': '67890', 'price': '33.75', 'brand ': 'Google', 'category': 'Apparel', 'variant': 'Black', 'list': 'Search Results', 'position': 2 }] }});</script>

  • Accepted dates:List, arrangement ofproductFieldObjects

Measure product link clicks by pressing acliqueAction on the data layer, along with aProductFieldObjectto display the clicked product, as in this example:

<script>/** * Call this function when a user clicks on a product link.

'products': [ { ' name': productObj.name, // Requires name or ID 'id': productObj.id, 'price': productObj.price, 'brand': productObj.brand, 'category': productObj.cat, 'variant' : productObj .variant, 'position': productObj.position }] } }, 'eventCallback': function() { document.location = productObj.url } });}</script>
