Setting Up Your Sites for
GTM E-commerce Tracking with GA4

1. Ensure your environment is up to date

Your environment must be updated to our 200.851.42 Package or later.

If you are not on the required version of BookNow Software, then please contact our Customer Success team by emailing [email protected] or calling us on 020 8167 8522.
 

2. Update the Google UK Tracking Code field

Log into your Salesforce environment and navigate to ‘Sites’. This process will need to be followed on each site.  

Scroll down the page to ‘Google UA Tracking Code’. This field has four conditions that should be populated:

1. G- code (the GA4 code which replaces the UA code)
2. Origin url (your main public website domain that traffic is coming from)
3. GTM code (provided by Google Analytics)
4. url for the analytics handler (optional)
 
Each condition should be separated by a semicolon.
Please watch the video below which demonstrates the steps described above:
 
Your ‘Google UA Tracking Code’ should now look similar to this:
 
Tracking code
 

You can copy the contents of this field to each of your Sites within the same Brand. 

3. Ensure attribution of your site visitors
 
Next, add the code below to your Public Website. Usually this would be located in the Header of your Homepage. Change the blue text (including the blue square brackets) with your company’s G- code and BookNow domain:
 
<!– Google tag (gtag.js) –>
  <script async src=”https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-[your code]“></script>
  <script>
    window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
    function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
    gtag(‘js’, new Date());
gtag(‘set’, ‘linker’, {‘domains’: [‘[your BookNow domain, eg demo.booknow.software]‘]});
    gtag(‘config’, ‘G-[your code]‘);
  </script>
 
If you require assistance on this then please seek help from your Website provider or Marketing team.
