    Hello,

    Thanks a lot for developing the plugin and including the useful tutorials for e-commerce set up, etc. I was wondering, is it possible that you also create a tutorial on how to configure dynamic remarketing through Analytics or Adwords? I am a bit confused, as the sources I have found in internet say that I should add an extra snipped of code before the one of the Tag Manager to configure the custom dimensions. Is this correct or you have already included in the code the ecomm_prodid, pagetype and totalvalue dimensions, suggested for dynamic remarketing?

    Thanks a lot in advance!

    Hi,

    I am a bit overloaded currently due to some personal events but yes, I will do my best to create a guide for that topic as well (enhanced ecommerce article still needs an update)

    If you are using WooCommerce you could simple enabled the dyn remarketing option in plugin settings which adds the necessary variables (ecomm_prodid, ecomm_pagetype, ecomm_totalvalue) to the dataLayer.

    You “only” need to create 3 dataLayer variables inside GTM that reads those entries. After this you have to open your AdWords remarketing tag and set “Manually specify” in the “Custom Parameters” option and add the three variables using the same names as you can see in the dataLayer

    This is all you need.

    Cheers,
    Thomas

    Hi,

    Thanks a lot for this information. Is the dyn remarketing option in Basic Data => Adwords in the settings of the plugin? Is it the same procedure if I want to use Analytics instead of adwords to create the lists? I guess in that case I need to update the analytics tag with the custom dimensions I created previously?

    Thanks a lot for your help!

    Hi,

    First of all: the tutorial for setting up AdWords dynamic remarketing (using an AdWords Remarketing tag) is live:
    https://duracelltomi.com/google-tag-manager-for-wordpress/how-to-articles/how-to-setup-dynamic-remarketing-in-google-adwords

    As for your question: yes, you have to create the necessary custom dimensions in GA with the same names and edit your GA tag and add the necessary variables into the Custom Dimensions section.

    Cheers,
    Thomas
