Troubleshooting Google Analytics
Ecommerce Tracking
There may be issues with tracking codes in Google Analytics, for example:
- The user who made the transaction had his or her JavaScript turned off
- The user has left the page before the transaction has had chance to send to Google Analytics
If more than 10% of transactions are missing from GA, then there is likely to be a bigger issue and this should be investigated by running a number of test transactions with a debugger like Fiddler to ensure the right data is sent to Google Analytics every time.”
