Checkout uses enhanced eCommerce for tracking within Google Analytics. You can choose whether or not to use this feature, but we recommend you do.

When using eCommerce tracking, Google Analytics tracks the following additional information:

• Your store's domain.
• Bold Checkout's order number.
• Taxes, order total, and shipping cost.
• Product information (IDs, titles, quantities, prices, and variant titles).

Enhanced eCommerce adds the ability to track funnels, which you can use to track the corresponding steps for entering shipping address, payment information, and purchase complete.

Bold Checkout uses scripts to send page views and events to Google Analytics. The default script that Bold Checkout sends for Google Analytics is as follows:

ga('require', 'ec');

ga('set', 'currencyCode', BOLD.order.currency);

BOLD.order.line_items.forEach(item => {
ga('ec:addProduct', {
id: item.sku || null,
name: item.product_title,
variant: item.variant_title,
price: GoogleAnalytics.formatCurrency(item.price),
quantity: item.quantity,
});
});

ga('ec:setAction', 'purchase', {
id: BOLD.order.id,
revenue: GoogleAnalytics.formatCurrency(BOLD.order.total),
shipping: GoogleAnalytics.formatCurrency(BOLD.order.total_shipping),
tax: GoogleAnalytics.formatCurrency(BOLD.order.total_tax),
});

ga('send', 'event', 'Checkout', 'Successful Checkout');

Looking to track additional information? This can be done with Custom Tracking Scripts.

Custom tracking scripts absolutely cannot contain any <script> tags, links to external javascript, or Liquid code. 

1. From within Bold Checkout, Select Settings > Analytics.
2. Select the toggle on Custom Tracking Scripts for Successful Purchases.
3. Enter your custom script.
4. Select Save.
