Ecommerce tracking through GTM

[Jeffrey Lek]

Hello Snowplowers,

I'm having problems getting the ecommerce tracking to work, using GTM. Actually I am only interested in the order id's, this is also the only thing we currently collect through GA.

Using the code on https://github.com/snowplow/snowplow/wiki/Integrating-javascript-tags-with-Google-Tag-Manager and selecting only the overall order part, I implemented the following, which doesn't end up in any data:

<script type="text/javascript">
// 1st, fire 'addTrans' event for the new transaction
window.snowplow('addTran',{{Transaction ID}},'','','','','','','');


// Finally fire the 'trackTrans' event to commit the transaction
window.snowplow['trackTrans']
</script>

Also I tried removing the ' ' s and just send the {{Transaction ID}} part, as well as adding [ ]'s like suggested in some of the forum posts I could find on the subject.

What am I doing wrong here?

Thanks,
Jeffrey

Hi Jeffrey,

Apologies, looks like that was a typo and should have been:

window.snowplow('trackTrans');

I have now fixed the documentation.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for your anwer, I updated the window.snowplow('trackTrans'); part, but still no success. So currently firing the following:

<script type="text/javascript">

// 1st, fire 'addTrans' event for the new transaction

window.snowplow('addTran',{{Transaction ID}},'','','','','','','');

// Finally fire the 'trackTrans' event to commit the transaction

window.snowplow('trackTrans');

</script>

Is what I'm doing here at all possible / recommended? As I mentioned, I'm only interested in the order id's, so do I actually need to send the other paramters as empty strings? And could this cause a problem?

Thanks;

Jeffrey

Hello Jeffrey,

That was a typo too - it should be "addTrans", not "addTran". I have fixed the documentation.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
