Alert

Important!

Google Analytics & Google Ads plugins DO NOT WORK when using a Custom Receipt URL.  You need to build in your own tracking on your Customer Receipt page. If you wish to notify a remote server of a new booking or update its status, consider using API notifications instead.

 

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.
