Because you have a developer's license, maybe you're using priority support?

Which seems pretty straightforward. However, I'm not sure if this can be done on a separate redirect page. Can it? If so, is there documentation anywhere?</p> <p>For example, my form redirects to a 'Thank You' page separate from the payment form. That page just includes text. Is it very easy to include the 'receipt' there? That way I can include the GA script and thank you text in the same location.</p> <p>Any help or insight here is greatly appreciated! </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/google-analytics-e-commerce-tracking-codes-for-gravity-forms#post-51184 Fri, 02 Mar 2012 19:07:35 +0000 jloosli 51184@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>So I've been struggling with this as well. I decided to tie into the gform_confirmation hook instead of gform_paypal_fulfillment hook since gform_confirmation actually deals with the what's showing up in the browser instead of what's going on in the back end (since analytics is javascript based).</p> <p>Anyway, here's the gist of what I do:</p> <ol> <li>Check to see if the submitted form has a 'product field'...if it does, I assume it's an e-Commerce transaction </li> <li>I generate the _gaq javacript code to place on the page (see <a href="http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingEcommerce.html)" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingEcommerce.html)</a> </li> <li>If the confirmation is text, I append it to the bottom of the text </li> <li>If the confirmation is a redirect, I send the _gaq javascript, plus I send a window.location='{page/to/redirect/to}' to send the browser to the new page </li> </ol> <p>It's not exactly robust and I haven't tested it extensively, but if anyone has any feedback as to improvements on this, I would appreciate it.</p> <p><a href="https://gist.github.com/1962059" rel="nofollow">https://gist.github.com/1962059</a> </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/google-analytics-e-commerce-tracking-codes-for-gravity-forms#post-46059 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 21:02:51 +0000 Chris Hajer 46059@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <blockquote><p> Do I paste the code: add_filter("gform_paypal_fulfillment", "process_order", 10, 4); to the top line of paypal.php </p></blockquote> <p>No, that code goes into your theme's functions.php file.</p> <p>And I think you are correct about needing an "order complete" page to track successful completion of the transaction. I would use that vs using a text confirmation.</p> <p>This is not witchcraft, but it might be voodoo. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/google-analytics-e-commerce-tracking-codes-for-gravity-forms#post-45948 Tue, 10 Jan 2012 10:02:17 +0000 andrew carbn 45948@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Me again! :)</p> <p>I do have questions now...</p> <p>I have been trying to get this working but still stuck and my brain wont come up with any more ideas to try.</p> <p>I'm using paypal.<br /> I only want to track paid successfull orders.</p> <p>So lets say I wanted to use the gform_paypal_fullfillment hook like you have suggested:</p> <p>Do I paste the code: add_filter("gform_paypal_fulfillment", "process_order", 10, 4); to the top line of paypal.php</p> <p>Where does GA come into place?

A good place to start on the Google Analytics side of things is here:</p> <p><a href="http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingEcommerce.html" rel="nofollow">http://code.google.com/apis/analytics/docs/tracking/gaTrackingEcommerce.html</a></p> <p>As far as the Gravity Forms side of things... this will depend on if you're using PayPal or not. If so, it gets a little trickier. You'll need to decide if you want to track all orders or only orders that were completed successfully (aka paid).</p> <p>Assuming you want to track paid orders, you can use the <a href="http://www.gravityhelp.com/documentation/page/Gform_paypal_fulfillment" rel="nofollow">gform_paypal_fullfillment</a> hook to integrate with the GA functionality to capture these leads.</p> <p>If you decide to tackle this, let me know if you have any questions along the way. :) </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/google-analytics-e-commerce-tracking-codes-for-gravity-forms#post-43559 Fri, 09 Dec 2011 13:20:44 +0000 andrew carbn 43559@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>I would love to know too!</p> <p>I don't understand why people are not tracking payments made through Gravity Forms.</p> <p>I know GF were never supposed to replace an ecommerce system... but tracking the purchase amount is extremely important.</p> <p>Has anybody got any experiance or know where to begin with this?</p> <p>Cheers! :) </p>
