googleanalytics Setup google analytics in Prestashop 1.7

[Himanshubishtt]

Hi,

This is for all who likes to add google analytics on their shop.

If you are directly configuring 'Google analytics' by the module don't do it because it'll not work properly. You will get all the insights at first and after some time it'll stop giving insights at all. (Personal experience)

So What I did is add this code in my header.tpl file in template/_partials but don't forget to add {literal}{/literal} at the starting and closing of the tag else you'll get a blank white page.

{literal} <!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-134165817-1"></script>
<script>
  window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
  function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
  gtag('js', new Date());

  gtag('config', 'UA-*********-*');
</script>  {/literal}

Hope it helps

Hi,

Do you use google tag manager module at the same time ?

[Himanshubishtt]

No I am not using that module. Just added that script and everything is working fine.

Hi, I tried this, however it did not track any revenue in our campaigns (adwords / mailing list) or in the ecommerce section of analytics, did this work for you?

[Himanshubishtt]

@facethefuture sir, that work for me perfectly. 

In which file do you add that code?

Thanks

[facethefuture]

I placed it in the header.tpl. I have also tried the Prestashop analytics plugin (did not track correctly) and the a paid for module - Google Analytics Pro - which showed all revenue as direct traffic and did not work with campaigns for adwords / mailing lists etc. I'll give it another go and see if it works and let you know.

[Himanshubishtt]

Send me your website URL.

And did you place the code at the top of the header.tpl?

Hey, I was about to launch my own website and was struggling like you with setting up google analytics, then found this www.nerdpilots.com/store and got done all that was left. Hope it helps.

This solution works 100% for PS version 1.7.5.2

Thanks.

[nikdek69]

hi, the code could be placed at the end of the file ? or it must be placed at the beginning ?

Works like a charm (with V1.7.6.5)

To clarify: you have to edit the file header.tpl under your active theme. I put it right at the begin of the file (before {block name...}) just don't forget the {literal} and {/literal}...

Hi All!

I configured my shops vapura.cl, sebotanicals.com and gopure.shop first with the GA Module by Prestashop.
The tracking was not enabled on all sites for some reasons, so I ended up adding the tracking code manually as instructed here too.

I have now started to try to build analytics and metrics for growth hacking and have now understood the Prestashop module actually does all kinds of other things as well in addition to adding the tracking code to header. Is this correct??? 

I don't seem to get any enhanced ecommerce tracking. conversions etc in GA at all. Is the Prestashop GA module needed for this or are there other modules to enable full ecommerce tracking features or does it need to be built from scratch?

You need a module to use enhanced ecommerce tracking
The prestashop officer can serve you, although it has limitations
You must buy a module so that the enhanced ecommerce tracking data is more accurate

[Surffari]

Thanks @gusman126

Can anyone recommend a good module (which you use, not trying to sell)?

Or does anyone have any experience on building the funnel/roi etc tracking themselves?

I have tried several, but in the end I have developed one with the necessary functions.
Others, you can search in addons and ask in the forum, make a new topic

[jpas81]

How I know if it works?

Thanks

Go to your Google analytics account, watch the Real-time traffic. When you browse your web site you should see a change in the pageviews, it will also tell you what page is active.

[Antoine samesame]

Hello I am on Prestashop 1.7.6.5, I tried to make as told on /themes/sp_shop4u/templates/_partials/header.tpl, with {literal}and {/literal}....but it doesn't stay in the source code of my index page....

Hello, the GA instructions say that this JS code must be placed within the <head></head> tags of the site, while this method places it bellow the </head> tag. Could this cause some issues? Thanks.

[gusman126]

You must give consent, in the EU it is not useful to add the code, all the pages that have the code added are outside the new regulations and law
you have to use modules and blocking cookies

[EFFE1]

Hello, i have an E-Commerce where Google Analytics don't go, so i have make a new installation of prestashop on another subdomain and instal the Google Analytics official module of Prestashop, insert the ID of google analytics but nothing happen!

I think this must be a simple step, not a so and so complicated things to do, if the Prestashop official module don't go on a new installation, I think that there is a problem of code or java script that stop the flow of the information...

What do you think's about it?

[Michi001]

PS 1.7.7.1 Works perfect with New Analytics G4 code 😀

[neich78]

Not working for me.

We still can't connect the service, we didn't find any configuration error in GA, this is the Prestashop backoffice message:

"It seems you have a problem with your Google Analytics account. (Code:) Find more information in our Frequently Asked Questions.

Using Prestashop 1.7.8.0

[U1yss]

Presta 1.7.7.1 - works (finally), just note! you've got to add the code to head.tpl not header.tpl

The official plugin Google Analytics v4.1.0 by PrestaShop is a waste

[rafaelvines]

[psy_ch]

[Leolautzu]

Hi all, I am using prestashop and I need to insert a google tag only in one page of my theme. The page in question is the purchase summary page. 
From the back office I don't have the possibility to edit the page nor to insert the google html tag. The theme I use is Alysum. Prestashop 1.7.8.2. 
I have tried in the past to insert the tag in the entire header of the site but it does not calculate conversions well. 
Can anyone help me?
