Question

I’ve been asked to add Google e-commerce tracking into my site. This tracking involves inserting some javascript on your receipt page and then calling it’s functions. From my asp.net receipt page, I need to call one function (_addTrans) for the transaction info and then another (_addItem) for each item on the order. An example of what they want is here

This is for a 1.1 site. Can anybody give me a jumpstart on calling these two functions from my c# code-behind? I can’t imagine that I’m alone out there in needing to call Google e-commerce tracking, so I’m hopeful.

Answer 1

Probably the easiest way is to build up the required Javascript as a string with something like

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder() sb.AppendLine( '<script>' ); sb.AppendLine( 'var pageTracker = _gat._getTracker('UA-XXXXX-1');' ); sb.AppendLine( 'pageTracker._trackPageview();' ); sb.AppendFormat( 'pageTracker._addTrans('{0}','{1}','{2}','{3}','{4}','{5}','{6}','{7}' );\n', orderId, affiliation, total, tax, shipping, city, state, country ); sb.AppendFormat( 'pageTracker._addItem('{0}','{1}','{2}','{3}','{4}','{5}');\n', itemNumber, sku, productName, category, price, quantity ); sb.AppendLine('pageTracker._trackTrans();'); sb.AppendLine( '</script>' ); 

Then register it to appear in the page with

Page.RegisterStartupScript('someKey', sb.ToString());
