Enable E-Commerce Transaction Tracking

With some simple additions to your goal, or “Thank You” page, Google Analytics

can automatically detect and record transaction and product information. The

required information is placed into a hidden form which is parsed for transaction

and product information. Most template driven e-commerce systems can be

modified to include this information in the receipt.

You'll also need to enable e-commerce reporting for your website's profile. Like

we described previously in this guide, you would go from the Analytics

Settings page and then:

Click Edit next to the profile you would like to enable

Click Edit from the Main Website Profile Information box

Change the E-Commerce Website radio button from No to Yes
