Google Analytics Event Tracking for Affiliate/External Products

  • Hi,

    First of all, let me say thanks for building this amazing plugin.

    On my website I use WooCommerce exclusively for Affiliate/External products (to build a bargain hunting platform). I would like to track clicks on the “Buy Product” button that sends them to other websites. For that I want to create Events for Google Analytics.
    How can I do that the best way?

    I already know how to add the tracking code manually to normal links on normal posts or in the description of products. However, I cannot access the code for the Affilate/External product button-link. Any advice?

    Would be much appreciated.

    Best regards,

    David from buynai

    Hi,

    Since I could not find any hints here and in the web, I had a web-developer have a look.

    It seems like there was no easy solution. Now we modified the external.php in single-product/add-to-cart. In many cases you would probably modify the external.php in the plugin directory directly, in my case it was the file in the folder of the theme I am using.

    Now I am actually pretty happy with nice tracking on my bargain hunting page:
    I have a static Category (“Button”), the Action is the “button text” (“Go to Amazon”) and the Label is the “product name” (“iPhone 6”).

    Still I could imagine most people trying to run a virtual shop on WooCommerce would appreciate if these options came built in.

    Cheers,
    buynai
