The slides from my talk at GPeC Summit, Romania, on 11 May 2015.
I introduce the Enhanced Ecommerce reports for Google Analytics, but before I do, I outline my ideology for using Enhanced Ecommerce. It's not just a flashy set of reports, it's an optimization tool and a hypothesis machine. I'm less interested in successful transactions and more in things like abandonment and lack of engagement. Enhanced Ecommerce lets us expand the somewhat broken concept of a session-based conversion rate, and granularly investigate its components and particles. This way we can analyze not only transactions, visits, and visitors, but the products themselves, too.

8. Definition of a Session
• Group of interactions that takes place on a website…

• That expires after 30 minutes of inactivity…
• Or at the end of they day…
• Or when acquisition campaign changes…
• Unless the referral is in the Referral Exclusion List…
• Or traffic is cross-domain, and cross-domain tracking is implemented…
• Unless it’s implemented incorrectly…
• Which is likely since it’s so !#/%(“% difficult…
• Unless you’re using Google Tag Manager…
• Except if you’ve implemented THAT incorrectly…

48. What is Enhanced Ecommerce?
GPeC Summit 11-May-2015 | @SimoAhava
A schema that expands a single metric (Transaction /
Conversion Rate) and turns it into funnels.
An optimization tool especially for identifying missed
opportunities.
A way to navigate around the limitations of a heavily
biased platform like Google Analytics.
49. Implementation tips & ideas

50. Use a Data Layer

51. Use a Data Layer

52. Use Google Tag Manager
GPeC Summit 11-May-2015 | @SimoAhava
Works beautifully with a Data Layer
Relatively trivial to implement new tags
Short time-to-market for changes in the
page template or Data Layer
53. Recognize the limitations
GPeC Summit 11-May-2015 | @SimoAhava
Session-scoped :(
Only works with a specific, albeit common,
type of webstore
Very little room for customisation
54. Practise with the Live Demo
