PayPal Pro not tracking ADWORDS conversion code

[Supermanzo]

Hello,

i'm facing this problem: Since when i started using paypal pro solution in an iframe embedded in the payment page i always had the same problem: most of the payments done in the iframe are not tracked by adwords. I'm assuming after many tests that customers after the confirmation inside the iframe are not redirected on the standard prestashop redirect page, and they just go on another page or close the browser. This is a huge issue because most of the payments are credit card and so i lose track of most of the data i need.
Is there anyone who has faced the same problem and came up with a solution?

I thought about using the return url, for the confirmation inside paypal settings. Is it possible? Any advice on how to set this in a multilanguage environment ?

 

Thanks in Advance

Hi,

 

Did you get this sorted in the end, if not below is how I managed to get it to work (its a bit of a bodge job but it was very easy and worked a treat on my PrestaShop™ 1.5.2.0

 

1. Ensure you have the Prestashop Google Analytics Module installed (my version was - Version : 1.8.1)
2. Now Find the following file: /modules/ganalytics/views/templates/hook/header.tpl
3. Open the header.tpl file in your preferred editor (see appendix 1 below for a view of my file before it was edited)
4. Login to your adwords account and generate your custom conversion tracking code.
5. Paste your Adwords conversion code at the bottom below the closing analytics script tag. (See my example - appendix 2)
6. Change this parameter within your adwords conversion tracking code: var google_conversion_value = {$trans.total};
7. Save and push the file live
8. Do a test transaction to make sure you haven't made a fatal error
9. Watch the data appear in your adwords account (It takes about an hour from when your first order was placed.

Hope that helps (Please note: im a bodger, not a developer)

Does the added code need {literal} tags anywhere? Added the code but not displaying in source of web page?

 

Thanks

You need to put your conversion tracking before the payment.

If you want absolutly to put your conversion tacking after the order (when customer make purchase) you need to put the conversion tracking inside the validate Paypal page (in the paypal module)

Make a test
