Integrating your Ontraport account with Google Analytics is a great way to collect and analyze purchase activity data from your ecommerce site. Once set up, you’ll gain valuable insights about your products and services, average order value, the length of your sales cycle, and more.


Google Analytics Ecommerce Tracking is available to users with Ontraport Plus accounts and above.

  • Add your Google Analytics ID number (from step 1) and your currency code to the sample script.
    1. Locate googleAnalyticsId = “UA-123456789-1” and replace the numbers inside the quotes with your own.
