March 4 we switch to Google's Universal Analytics

@arachnidlabs I pushed this change out today!

@madworm we only include your Google Analytics ID on your product pages, store page, and any time a user adds your product to their shopping cart.

This means that since https://www.tindie.com/ isn’t your product page or store page, your tracking code won’t appear.

I think you need to change the “Default URL” to a page that has your tracking code, for example: https://www.tindie.com/stores/madworm/

Also – your Store Dashboard has a lot of the stats that you get from Google Analytics; while you’re welcome to use your own GA code if it’s easier we show you page views, conversion rate, etc on https://www.tindie.com/stores/dashboard/ (we also show you what URLs drive the most orders of your products!)

Thanks for that, @jewella!

@jewella, would it be possible to add some tracking for “add to wishlist”, such as triggering a GA action when it happens? Thanks to your recent changes, I can track users going from my site to Tindie, and determine if they bought anything, but not if they added an item to their wishlist.

As I hinted in my other post, I’m considering doing an experiment to test the effectiveness of wishlists vs preorders, and I can’t tell how effective it is unless I can tell when a user adds something to their wishlist.

Changing the URL did the trick.

TY.

Do sellers have access to the eCommerce data from the success page? If so can someone offer a little help on getting that data into analytics?

Over the past week I have been really pushing myself to learn google Tag Manager and Google Analytics. I’ve implemented cross domain tracking and I am sending cookies data from my site to tindie. It does not seem to send the cookie back but that’s a different issue. I have a goal setup to track when a customer lands on the success page but I’m not sure how to get the revenue information into google analytics.

BTW, I would love to see Tag Manager implemented on Tindie. It’s pretty awesome.

Hi, what’s the thought on adding ecommerce tracking to the google analytics on Tindie?

Here are some docs on the ecommerce tracking and the enhanced ecommerce. I do think it would need some thinking, eg. properly attributing things to sellers of there are multiple sellers’ products in the shopping cart, but to me it looks like the Tindie system has all the relevant information. Haven’t checked out in too much detail whether the basic or enhanced ecommerce tracking is more fitting, though usually the enhanced is better (in this case e.g. enhanced seem to can track coupon codes which is relevant to the Tindie setup)

Would be awesome to have this for one main reason: the more we sellers can figure out about which of the funnels work, the better. Here’s some info on multi-channel funnel analysis by Google. “How can we bring more visitors to our Tindie pages effectively?”

+1 on the eCommerce tracking.
