Google ad words conversion tracking

[webspinning 0]

The experts at Google have advised I should add ther following code at the end of content.receipt.php to track successful orders generated by ad words.

I would appreciate a view from anyone that has done this previously - it just does not look right.

 

{literal}

 

<!-- Global site tag (gtag.js) - Google Ads: 106nnnnnnn -->

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=AW-106nnnnnnn"></script>

<script>

window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];

function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}

gtag('js', new Date());

 

gtag('config', 'AW-106nnnnnnn');

</script>

 

 

gtag('event', 'conversion', {

'send_to': 'AW-106nnnnnnn/K_-QCMrvlt4BEJSnsfsD',

'value': '{/literal}{$GA_SUM.total}{literal}',

'currency': 'GBP',

'transaction_id': '{/literal}{$GA_SUM.cart_order_id}{literal}' // order ID - required

});

{/literal}

I cannot vouch for the AdWords code itself, but the placement of {literal} and {/literal} is correct.

I do see that the gtag('event' code block is not surrounded by <script> tags. That will cause something to not be reported correctly.

I hope a better answer comes along shortly.

I am not sure it should be one block of code either.  Feels like the first bit should be at the top of the file and the last bit in its own <literal> and <script>  tags at the end

Any other suggestions please?

Will this plugin be of any help?

I do have this installed, was very straightforward and I added the Ad words ID and Event send to ID as required but nothing happens.

I get the feeling that Ad words have changed something that effects this plugin again.
