In reply to Trish. Hey Trish, good news! It looks like SamCart now natively supports Google Analytics Enhanced eCommerce since the publication of this post, so I recommend checking that out.

Hey Kelly – Great post, thank you! One question on the http post solution. Since it fires for new orders, cancellations and refunds, won’t all of these be recorded as purchases in Google? If so, any option to limit which actions this is triggered for? Thanks again.

In reply to Jonathan Carroll. If you were wanting to assign a unique value to a specific user (in order to track lifetime value and the like), UserID is superior to CID. You'll need to enable it at the property level (Tracking Info -> User-ID). Unfortunately I don't know of a way to pull a UserID value from SamCart at this time. I reckon they have a unique identifier for all customers based on e-mail, but in order to access that number in GA, it would need to be "pushed" via a Javascript event or accessible in the data layer in Google Tag Manager. If you've learned anything useful in the mean time, feel free to share!

In your HTTP Post which uses GA’s measurement protocol, you are just sending ‘555’ as the cid. Do you know of a way for Samcart to retain the client ID so we can pass that back via the measurement protocol to be able to attribute the event to the original session and user which the transaction took place?
