Ecommerce tracking without GA plugin version 3.20

Hello everyone,
Can someone help me out with adding ecommerce tracking without using the GA plugin? We are on version 3.20 and have a lot of custom coding and every time I try to active the GA plugin the site crashes.

I just want to know if anyone has used a datalayer on the completed page with google tag manager or a ga ecommerce tag without using tag manager.

I have tried it like this with tagmanager and get nothing.

<script>
dataLayer = [{
    'transactionId': '{ORDERID}', // Transaction ID - Type:String - Required 
    'transactionAffiliation': '{SITE}', // store name - Type:String - Optional to use
    'transactionTotal': {TOTAL}, //total revenue - Type:Numeric - Required
    'transactionTax': {TAX}, // Tax amount for transaction - Type:Numeric - Optional to use
    'transactionShipping': {SHIP}, // Shipping cost - Type:Numeric - Optional to use
    'transactionProducts': [{
        'sku': '{PRODUCTSKU}', // Product SKU - Type:String - Required 
        'name': '{PRODUCTNAME}', // Product Name - Type:String - Required 
        'category': '{CATEGORYNAME}', // Product Category - Type:String - Optional to use
        'price': {UNITPRICE}, // Product Price - Type:Numeric - Required 
        'quantity': {QUANTITY} // Product Quantity - Type:Numeric - Required 
    },{
        'sku': '{PRODUCTSKU}', // Product SKU - Type:String - Required 
        'name': '{PRODUCTNAME}', // Product Name - Type:String - Required
        'category': '{CATEGORYNAME}',  // Product Category - Type:String - Optional to use
        'price': {UNITPRICE}, // Product Price - Type:Numeric - Required 
        'quantity': {QUANTITY} // Product Quantity - Type:Numeric - Required 
    }]
}];
</script>

Thanks for any help you can send my way.

I have ecommerce tracking setup on a very very very old version of nopcommerce 1.90. it doesn't use a ga plugin or tag manager, its all hard coded on the pages (webforms). It does look different than what you've got here but again, its not using tag manager.

Can you post the example of the tag that doesn't support tag manager?

I can see if I can get it to work from that or I will remove tag manager and run it the old way.

Thank You
Bob

I suppose it would be considered the 'old' way as it just calls the ga() methods to set properties etc.

for example (minus the fluff)...

StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();

sb.Append("ga('require', 'ec'); ");
sb.AppendFormat("ga('set', '&cu', '{0}'); ", order.CustomerCurrencyCode);

string productFormat = "'id': '{0}', 'name': '{1}','brand':'{2}', 'variant': '{3} (Size:{4})', 'price': '{5}', 'quantity': '{6}'";


// loops over a list of products, uses the productFormat string above and...

// add your values
string productObj = string.Format(productFormat,...);

sb.AppendFormat("ga('ec:addProduct',{{{0}}}); ", productObj);


// we use different props depending on order criteria but essentially it looks similar to this
string headerFormat = "ga('ec:setAction', 'purchase', {{'id': '{0}', 'revenue': '{1}', 'tax': '{2}', 'shipping': '{3}', 'affiliation': '{4}'}});";

// add your values to the action
sb.AppendFormat(headerFormat,...);

// send
sb.AppendFormat("ga('send', 'event', 'Order confirmation', 'Successful payment', '{0}');",order.OrderId);

p.s. i think it takes 24 hours for stats to show.
