Google's Tag Manager allows administrators and digital marketers to track user behaviour and improve conversion rates on their websites. To this end, Commerce Vision websites on version 3.87+ now have tracking functionality enabled out of the box, pushing rich data on nearly every site event.

This guide details the data sent for various events, which can then be used with Tag Manager's Remarketing and Enhanced eCommerce functions.

Product Impression data is pushed when a product list is displayed. For example, a page of search results, products in a category, or a user's favourites.

PropertyValueNotes
event

'enhancedEcomm'

Due to infinite scrolling, some pages may load additional data after the initial page load. For this reason, impressions are pushed via an event. Infinite scrolling creates a new event, and therefore a new data push. This also ensures that data is pushed in blocks, so as not to exceed Google's object data limit.

  1. Determine the type of additional data required to push:
    • User
    • Product
    • Order
       
  2. Include the new data by adding the field to the relevant JSON field group. 

    Data TypeDictionary TableJSON Field Group
    User

    Primary Table:

    • User

    Additional Tables:

    • Role
    • Customer

    Additional Tables:

    • ProntoSalesOrderLine
    • Product
    SiteTrackerOrderData-append (or SiteTrackerOrderData_RoleName-append for role-specific changes)
  3. Finally, construct the tracking code per the format below.

    • First parameter is the data to manipulate (e.g. "userDetail" in sample code)
    • Second parameter is the type of manipulation:
      • extend
      • override
    • The third parameter is the function that will perform the manipulation (e.g. "EmailAddress: data.EmailAddress" in sample code)
      • The data is the raw data that can be used for manipulation (and includes the additional data from the JSON field groups described above) 
    Code Block
