I need help setting up Google e-commerce tracking on my ASP.NET receipt page. How can I call the transaction and item tracking functions from my C# code?
The solution I found involves triggering the Google e-commerce tracking JavaScript code from your ASP.NET page after the transaction details are available. In my experience, calling the JavaScript function by using Page.ClientScript.RegisterStartupScript worked best when all the transaction data was prepared on the server. This ensures that the client-side tracking functions are directly passed the values they need. It is crucial to ensure that the variables are correctly formatted and accessible on the client side.
Hey ExploringAtom, I remember trying to work around this challenge recently. What I did was build the JavaScript snippet dynamically on the server by serializing my data directly into JSON format, which ensured that format wasn’t lost during the server to client handoff. I rendered that script on the page so the client-side function could pick up a well-structured object rather than unpacking a raw string. I found this approach particularly useful when data came in pieces at different times in the code. Have you experimented with embedding the JSON in a hidden field or using any form of deferred execution to ensure the e-commerce tracking code fires right at the end? I’m curious if anyone else has played with that method and what kind of benefits or drawbacks they discovered. Would love to hear more about how others are tailoring their solutions!
