Deploying the Measurement ID

Do not use Google Tag Manager to deploy the Measurement ID to your website, as it does not support cross-domain tracking with Checkfront.

Advanced tracking

To build more advanced tracking, you can set up a custom external web page and point to it with our Custom Receipt URL option at Manage > Ecommerce Setup > Settings.

Note that Google Analytics & Google Ads plugins DO NOT WORK when using a Custom Receipt URL as the URL to your website does not contain the integrated Google Analytics code of the Checkfront integration.

To resolve this issue, you need to create a custom conversion event within your Google Analytics account with keywords from your Custom URL.
