The answer is "yes" and "no":
- The Goal URL (required setting) remains the same (URL ending with "ordercomplete.asp"). So Google Analytics will continue to correctly report how many goals (completed orders) were achieved. - The Goal Funnel (which is an optional setting) - if used - will need to be updated as some of the checkout pages used in v3 are no longer being used in v4. So, thanks for the reminder on this, we will update the documentation shortly to edit the instructions that pertain to the Goal Funnel. ------------- The ProductCart Team Home of ProductCart http://www.productcart.com" rel="nofollow - shopping cart software |

FYI with regard to Google Analytics: we've updated the integration with Google Analytics (including e-commerce transactions and the ability to post refunds/cancellations) so that it supports the "new" tracking code (ga.js).
It's not that new, actually, but for one reason or another we had not updated our code yet. Now we have

If you are using ProductCart v4, the recommended place for the tracking code is pc/inc_footer.asp. Please see the documentation for detailed instructions. ------------- The ProductCart Team Home of ProductCart http://www.productcart.com" rel="nofollow - shopping cart software |

No, you have to put an onclick event on the continue buttons to get that to work like this.

After I implemented the Goal and Funnel as described in the ProductCart wiki page about shopping cart abandonment, Google Analytics is still not tracking those things for me (i.e. I see only zeros under the Goals reports). Any advice? ------------- Alex L. |
