Google analytics - HOW do you install the tracking?

[Former_Member]

I have been trying to figure it out but I have simply no idea where I should put this tracking code that my etsy shop could be tracked. What am I supposed to do?

[Former_Member]

DITTO! I have been looking and looking myself! UGH!

I thought I had it figured out too and it didn't work : ( Sorry I am no help!

You don't actually enter any code. Etsy does that for you. All you need to do is enter the UA number. It's the number you see when you're on your dashboard. It looks like UA-########-#. Does that help?

Go to Shop Settings/Options, then click on the Web Analytics tab and paste the UA number you got from Google Analytics into the Web Property ID box

There is also a Google Analytics team you can join...

Step 1: Getting Set Up

YOU MUST SETUP A GOOGLE ANALYTICS ACCOUNT FIRST!! To create a new Google Analytics account, visit http://www.google.com/analytics/

Here are some helpful hints during signup:

-When asked for your Website's URL enter Etsy's URL (www.etsy.com)
-When asked for your Account Name enter your Etsy shop website address (shopname.etsy.com)
-Hit Continue when you arrive at the page titled Analytics: Tracking Instructions
-Once you arrive on your account overview page, locate the tracking code which appears to the right of your shop website address. It will appear in this format: UA-XXXXXXX-X.

If you already have a Google Analytics account you can instead login, click on Analytics Settings, and then choose Enter New Profile.



Step 2: Enter Web Property ID

Then you can enable this feature by going to Your Account > Options > Web Analytics. Enter your Google Analytics Web Property ID in this format: UA-XXXXXXX-X. Click Save.

You should be all set. To view your Analytics, you must sign in to your Google Analytics account. Since Google Analytics works on a delay, you may not see data in your reports for up to 24 hours.

Step 1 involves setting up GA in the Analytics interface on Google.
Step 2 involves enabling GA on Etsy.
