Reporting in Google Analytics

Back to top

It may take up to 24 hours after the first booking for tracking data to appear in your Google Analytics reports. Reporting is shown in the E-commerce section of Google Analytics. Your Checkfront inventory is represented as products and your bookings as transactions.

 

Note

Are conversions not showing up in Google Analytics?

  1. Make sure that you have Customer-made bookings. Bookings made Staff-side do not show in Google Analytics.
  2. Customers are most likely using adblockers or the type of browser or device they are using is not supported by Google Analytics.

 

Alert

No personally identifiable information on your Customers is sent to Google. Google Analytics reporting should be used as a guide, but should not be relied upon as accurate financial reporting or accounting.

Only bookings made by your Customers from your website are included in these reports, not bookings made from within Checkfront.
