Requirements For Click Tracking & Attribution
Google Analytics Ecommerce can only work with your affiliate URLs if you follow some basic rules:
- Don’t cache your outgoing links
- Don’t use any shortened affiliate links (except for Impact and Involve Asia)
- Don’t use any URL shortening tools like Bitly, Jot URL, etc.
- Don’t use tools like Varnish or plugins that automatically clear cookies, or at least make sure you exclude the _ga and _wctrck cookies
Activating Ecommerce
Activating Google Analytics Ecommerce is very simple but requires you to have admin rights to the account.
- Go to Admin > Ecommerce Settings
- Turn on “Enable Ecommerce”
Enhanced Ecommerce
The Enhanced Ecommerce feature of Google Analytics requires the installation of a plugin that affects analytics.js. Hence, wecantrack does not support this element. If you want to make use of the Enhanced Ecommerce feature anyway, please get in contact with us.
