Alert

Important!

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

If you wish to notify a remote server of a new booking or update its status, consider using API notifications instead of a tracking solution.

 

About E-Commerce Tracking with Google Analytics

Back to top

Google Analytics Overview

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

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

Our integration 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.

This series of articles covers setup in Google Analytics, setup in Checkfront, and the option for Cross-domain Tracking.

To enable Google Analytics tracking in Checkfront, you must first find your Google Analytics (Tracking) ID. This can be found by clicking on the Tracking Info and Tracking Code links under the Property column in your Google Analytics dashboard.

Select Tracking Code and then look for the Tracking ID at the top of the page. It looks something like UA-555555-1.

In the following article in this series, we walk through setting up tracking in Checkfront, so keep your Tracking ID handy!
