Analytics
Google Merchant Center Feed
The plugin provides an easy to use Google Merchant Center integration.
You can enable a Google Merchant Center Feed that generates an XML feed of your shop's inventory by visiting the Backend Settings -> Feeds
page.
You can add the generated url as a feed in your Google Merchant Center and sync all products automatically.
Enhanced Ecommerce (Google Tag Manager)
The plugin provides full data layer integration of the Universal Analytics Enhanced Ecommerce features using Google Tag Manager
To enable the integration simply, add the [enhancedEcommerceAnalytics]
component to the head
section of your layouts. It's important that you place it before your gtm.js
script.
description = "My Layout"
[enhancedEcommerceAnalytics]
==
<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<!-- ... -->
{% component 'enhancedEcommerceAnalytics' %}
<!-- Google Tag Manager -->
<script>(function(w,d,s,l,i){w[l]=w[l]||[];w[l].push({'gtm.start':
new Date().getTime(),event:'gtm.js'});var f=d.getElementsByTagName(s)[0],
j=d.createElement(s),dl=l!='dataLayer'?'&l='+l:'';j.async=true;j.src=
'https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtm.js?id='+i+dl;f.parentNode.insertBefore(j,f);
})(window,document,'script','dataLayer','GTM-XXXXX');</script>
<!-- End Google Tag Manager -->
</head>
WARNING
