About E-Commerce Tracking with Google Analytics

Google Analytics Overview

If you use Google Analytics on your website to track visitors, then you can make use of Checkfront's Google Analytics add-on, to gain better insight into your E-commerce Tracking statistics.

E-commerce Tracking reports allow you to analyze purchase activity on your site or app. You can see product and transaction information, average order value, e-commerce conversion rate, time to purchase, and other data.

Our add-on applies your Google Analytics code to your Customer-facing pages (reserve/booking page, booking form, payment page, invoice page, and documents/waivers page) so that you can analyze the data within Google Analytics.

In this series of articles, we cover set up in Google Analytics, set up in Checkfront, and the option for Cross-domain Tracking.
