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.

1. Digital Remarketing

Remarketing is the practice of advertising to past visitors of your website. If users leave your site without making a purchase, remarketing can help you reconnect by displaying relevant ads during their subsequent web browsing or searching. 

BPD Remarketing data is pushed on every page of the website. Properties and their possible values are detailed below. 

PropertyValueNotes

  • category
  • product
  • cart
  • purchase
Value determined by the page the user is on.
ecomm_prodid
  • Product code (product pages)

  • Array of product codes (category, cart, purchase pages)

Optional. Value determined by the page the user is on, and does not apply to page types 'home' or 'other'.

	"ecomm_totalvalue": "99.99",
	"google_conversion_value": "99.99"
}

 

 

 2. Enhanced eCommerce

Enhanced eCommerce is additional functionality for Google Analytics which allows richer data to be gathered, over and above the standard eCommerce transactional information gathered at the Order Confirmation step. Enhanced eCommerce data provides a more nuanced view of user behaviour, such as content engagement, product views, and cart actions. 

BPD Enhanced eCommerce data is pushed for nearly every event type on the website. The data objects are outlined below, including properties and their possible values. 

 

Product Impressions

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 data after the inital page load. For this reason, impressions are pushed via an event, where infinite scrolling creates new event, and therefore a new data push. This also ensures that data is pushed in blocks, therefore not exceeding the object data limit.
