Google now tells me there is a “tracking code mismatch” for “tindie.com”.
I probably have messed up the setup process somewhere.
@madworm sounds like that is the wrong code from this tutorial:
http://www.optimizesmart.com/understanding-and-fixing-google-analytics-tracking-notifications/
The tracking java-code sometimes shows two tracking codes, one for user tracking (mine, correct), one for site tracking (something else).
If I browse on “my” pages, both codes show up. This is not limited to one URL, so I’m not quite sure which to register with google for the tracking.
_gaq.push( ['b._setAccount', 'UA-XXXXXX'], <--- my tracking code ['b._trackPageview'] );
[…]
ga('create', 'UA-YYYYYYY', <--- something else
We are trying to setup ecommerce conversion tracking. It seems to do this we need to know the final checkout page filename… I.e. thankyou.html. Can you provide us with this?
David
Hey David. The URL is tindie.com/checkout/success/ (there is no .html associated with the url).
We will have a feature coming soon to show you the conversion.
I bump thee, so you can hopefully help me!
Well, as stated above, google pesters me with “Tracking Code Mismatch”
I can’t do more than entering the numbers given to me by tindie. I’ve checked it again just now.
What should I enter for “default URL” in googles UA setup?
I’ve requested a re-check. Let’s see what google says tomorrow.
Could you please add “_setAllowLinker” as documented here? https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/gajs/gaTrackingSite#multipleDomains
It’s a simple change, and it would make it possible for us to generate links on our sites that propagate the same Google Analytics session to Tindie - making the whole thing look like one big site for analytics purposes.
Yep - should have it out later today…
“_setAllowLinker” is a method on the older ga.js – now that we have switched over to Universal Analytics we are using the newer analytics.js which doesn’t appear to have this method (see https://developers.google.com/analytics/devguides/collection/analyticsjs/method-reference). If there is a way of doing this with analyics.js I’m happy to try it out, I just couldn’t find anything.
Well, google is still not happy 
@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.
