Same problem here – only some transactions saved. And a theory

  • So I have the same problem as many others have logged here. Only some of the ecom transaction are registering. Here is my theory. In our case, we are using paypal. The kind where customers are taken to paypal site to complete transaction. When finished paying, the customer can either return to the site by clicking a link or are auto redirected to the woo thank you page after 10 seconds. My theory is many don’t wait and close the browser thinking – correctly – that they have completed the purchase. So the GA tracking on the Woo thank you page never has a chance to fire.

  • Hadn’t thought about that, but that does seem a likely posibility – We use PayPal Standard too and onl have about 1 – 10 transactions showing. But when they do show everything seems fine. Unfortunately I’m guessing thats an issue that cant be solved.

    Common problem that is easily resolved. Use PayPal Express checkout (free plugin available: PayPal for WooCommerce). This a much better way to integrate this (as you can also use one account for multiple shops). This solves this problem.
