Adding the Google Analytics tag to your site

In order to collect data in your Analytics property, you need to add your tag to your website. For this, you can use our free Google Analytics module.

Once this module is installed on your online store, go to the module configuration page.

You will find a field at the bottom of the page to fill in with your Tracking ID.

This identifier is available in your Google Analytics account, in your property settings, in the following form: UA-123456789-1.

Copy and paste your identifier from Google Analytics and click on the Save button.

Your tag is now installed on your site.

Go back to your Prestashop Metrics configuration page, refresh the page if necessary. A banner tells you that your PrestaShop Metrics service is now successfully configured.

NOTE:

• A maximum of 24 hours is required before your visit data is displayed in your Prestashop Metrics dashboard.
• To instantly verify the actual installation of your Google Analytics tag, you can go to your Google Analytics account, in the real-time reports section. Check your site as a regular user would, you should see this live activity on your Google Analytics account.

Once your Google Analytics account is connected, you just have to wait for the end of the data synchronization to access the module! You will be notified by email.
