shopping experience, including: product impressions, product clicks,
viewing product details, adding a product to a shopping cart, initiating

Did you notice? Something missing?
Actions specify how to interpret product and promotion data that you send to
Google Analytics
Impression Actions? No need! It’s an impression, so make a good first
impression.

Below are the various actions that can be performed on product and promotion data:

Implementation

Implementation: Measuring a Product Impression
In this example, a user first views the product in a list of search results. To measure this
product impression, use the ec:addImpression command and provide the product
details in an impressionFieldObject:

Implementation: Measuring a Product Impression
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y');
ga('require', 'ec'); // Load enhanced ecommerce plugin
ga('ec:addImpression', {
'id': 'P12345', // Product details are provided in an impressionFieldObject.
'name': 'Android Warhol T-Shirt',
'category': 'Apparel/T-Shirts',
'brand': 'Google',
'variant': 'black',
'list': 'Search Results',
'position': 1 // 'position' indicates the product position in the list.
});
ga('ec:addImpression', {
'id': 'P67890',
'name': 'YouTube Organic T-Shirt',
'type': 'view',
'category': 'Apparel/T-Shirts',
'brand': 'YouTube',
'variant': 'gray',
'list': 'Search Results',
'position': 2
});
ga('send', 'pageview');
}
addImpression:
This is a result
set of multiple
products,
therefore should
be in a for loop

Implementation: Measuring a Product Click
Next, a user expresses interest in this particular product by clicking on the product listing
to view more details.
To measure that product click, use ec:addProduct and ec:setAction

“
Implementation: Measuring a Product Click
// Called when a link to a product is clicked.
function onProductClick() {
ga('ec:addProduct', {
'id': 'P12345',
'category': 'Apparel',
'brand': 'Google',
'variant': 'black',
'position': 1
});
ga('ec:setAction', 'click', {list: 'Search Results'});
// Send click with an event, then send user to product page.
ga('send', 'event', 'UX', 'click', 'Results', {
hitCallback: function() {
document.location = '/product_details?id=P12345';
}
});
}
The product link could then be
implemented like this:
<a href="/next-page.html"
onclick="onProductClick();
return !ga.loaded;">
T-Shirt
</a>
”

Implementation: Measuring a Product Details View
After clicking on the product listing, a user views the product details page.
To measure this product details view, use ec:addProduct and ec:setAction to specify
a detail action:

Implementation: Measuring a Product Details View
ga('require', 'ec');
'id': 'P12345',
'brand': 'Google',
'variant': 'black'
});
ga('ec:setAction', 'detail');
ga('send', 'pageview'); // Send product details view with the initial pageview.

Implementation: Measuring an Addition or Removal from Cart
The user expresses intent to buy the item by adding it to a shopping cart.
To measure the addition or removal of a product from a shopping cart, use ec:addProduct
and set the type add or remove:

Implementation: Measuring an Addition or Removal from Cart
// Called when a product is added to a shopping cart.
function addToCart(product) {
'id': product.id,
'name': product.name,
'category': product.category,
'brand': product.brand,
'variant': product.variant,
'price': product.price,
'quantity': product.qty
});
ga('ec:setAction', 'add'); // for removal use remove
ga('send', 'event', 'UX', 'click', 'add to cart'); // Send data using an event.
}

Implementation: Measuring Checkout Process
Now the user is ready to begin the checkout process, which in this example includes two steps, each on separate
pages:
1. Add payment details (payment.html).
2. Add shipping details (shipping.html).

Implementation: Measuring Checkout Process
First, make sure you’ve properly configured a checkout funnel from within Google analytics under ecommerce
settings.

Implementation: Measuring Checkout Process: Step 2 - Shipping - Post selection of shipping Information
In case we don’t have additional information about the shipping option selected when the initial pageview
is sent so this will be handled separately using the ec:setAction to indicate a checkout_option.
// Called when user has completed shipping options.
function onShippingComplete(stepNumber, shippingOption) {
ga('ec:setAction', 'checkout_option', {
'step': stepNumber,
'option': shippingOption
});
ga('send', 'event', 'Checkout', 'Option', {
hitCallback: function() {
// Advance to next page.
}
});
<a href="/next-page.html" onclick="onShippingComplete
(2, 'FedEx'); return !ga.loaded;">Continue</a>

Implementation: Measuring a Transaction
Lastly, the user completes the checkout process and submits their purchase.
To measure the sale of one or more products, use ec:addProduct to add each product, then ec:setAction to specify a
purchase. Transaction level information like total revenue, tax, etc. can be specified via an actionFieldObject. For
example:

Implementation: Measuring a Transaction
ga('set', '&cu', 'EUR'); // Optional: Set tracker currency to Euros
'id': 'P12345',
'brand': 'Google',
'variant': 'black',
'price': '29.20',
'quantity': 1
});
// Transaction level information is provided via an actionFieldObject.
ga('ec:setAction', 'purchase', {
'id': 'T12345',
'affiliation': 'Google Store - Online',
'revenue': '37.39',
'tax': '2.85',
'shipping': '5.34',
'coupon': 'SUMMER2013' // User added a coupon at checkout.
});
ga('send', 'pageview'); // Send transaction data with initial pageview.
