How does this part of the module work?
What do I need to set as goals in Analytics?
Many thanks.

1. Login to your Analytics account.
2. Choose Edit besides your profile.
3. Check, that you have clicked Yes to E-Commerce Website part.
4. Choose currency.
5. Make a goal, check active goal to Yes. The goal url is [Link]
6. Leave Goal value field empty or type in 0.
7. Leave other fields empty for now.
If possible, make a test purchase with cash and see, if you have your order information inside a form in receipt page. It
should look like this:
UTM:T|7|Joomla 13|53.18|4.05|0.00|Los Angeles|LA|USA
UTM:I|7|6|Hammer|Hand Tools |1.00000|1
UTM:I|7|5|Nice Saw|Hand Tools Hand Tools |23.14242|2
Please note, that if the payment method doesn't have a receipt page, then of course, it's not possible to track purchases
with that payment method. For default paypal and cash on delivery have receipt page.
Check your E-commerce report after 24-48 hours. If your goal is working, then add funnels.

suski,
I followed your instructions above and that did successfully enable the goal conversion tracking in GA. Thanks.
But, my ecommerce revenue tracking is still not functioning.

Reading the GA howto at
[Link]
I think what's missing is a call to the utmSetTrans function on my [Link] page as described by google:
Finally, the utmSetTrans function must be called after the form is submitted in order to record the transaction. This can
be most easily accomplished through a body onLoad event within the opening tag:
If you don't have the ability to edit the body tag, you can call the utmSetTrans function within a separate script tag as
long as you ensure that the function is called after the form:
__utmSetTrans();
Please advise and thanks.

Update
I discovered the pdf user guide on your site and found the instructions (pg. 6) to add the code:
to my template [Link] and did so. This then should result in a call to the utmSetTrans function on the
[Link] page.
I'll post back if this doesn't correct the problem.

Easiest thing to do, is to make the changes described in our guide, into your template [Link] file.
Add onLoad function to body tag. If your page doesn't call this script, no information will be collected.
