Costas/Rick

How are you passing the variables through? I've been trying to figure this last piece out but have not been able to find the correct solution.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Hi Rick-- what was the answer they gave you? I called as well and was told it was not possible.

Hey Michael,

Thanks for the info but I don't see any info in my 1Shop account for POSTing transaction details to a custom Thank You page.

I have a Basic account with 1SC. Where are we supposed to find these options?

We have our Google Analytics and our Wordpress site all coded as you have outlined. Ran Sitescan and everything checked out OK. After having it up and running a few days, we are seeing our sales coming through on Analytics in the Goals funnels. But we see zero sales in our Ecommerce.

Any ideas?

After finding out you are a Product Manager at 1SC, I called 1SC back. This time I got the info on what variables are posted back to the site.

HI Michael,

I'm using a custom thank you page for each product. But according to tech support at 1ShoppingCart they don't POST the transaction data.

So, I'm not sure how you're capturing the order id, product id, etc.

Thanks,

Rick

Michael,

Thank for the information. I've checked and rechecked, and I believe I have the Analytics tracking code correctly on the page. And I did update the product links (I use a form, but got that coding from the Analytics help page for using analytics with 3rd party shopping carts).

But I can't seem to get Analytics to track from the underlying web pages to the 1ShoppingCart page. So when I look at the navigational summary from one of my product pages, it doesn't show the clicks going to the cart page in the next pages section (they must just be seen as exit links). Similarly, the cart pages aren't showing where the incoming clicks are coming from. And the ecommerce stuff isn't tracking either.

I had been using urchin and it worked ok, except for the tracking between pages (strangely, the optimizer worked and ecommerce, but it wouldn't track the movement from the product pages from the cart). What is strange about this is that the same urchin setup with my old cart did track to the cart pages.

Are you getting Analytics to work in tracking from your product pages to your cart pages? If so, is there anything you did to make it work that isn't mentioned here? Finally, I also want it to work with ecommerce and the website optimzer as well. Have you been able to get these both working, and if so how?

Thanks, David

Sorry Donovan, I didn't see this comment when you posted it...

Thanks for sharing, and excellent point regarding a digital download process.

You may run into the same problem using PayPal too (inaccurate numbers), as many PayPal customers leave the process once PayPal confirms the purchase and don't click through all the way to the thank you page.

Even better, I've setup my thankyou page to accept dynamic variables and an unlimited number of products from 1shoppingcart. Comes in handy if you're selling multiple products, different costs, and upselling.

Also, if you're using a digital download in 1shoppingcart, don't count on having people click "Finish Your Order" after they download their product. Which will result in inaccurate reporting.
