First make sure that you have linked your Google Adwords account to your Google Analytics account (this is recommended by Google).  Next click on StoreFronts → Conversion and Tracking → Google.  Scroll down to the Google Analytics Experiments section and populate the Account Id, Property Id and Profile ID then click Connect.  More detail on finding these values and connecting the API is found under the Performing an Experiment.  In the future this section will be renamed "Google Analytics API" as the connection does more than use the Google Analytics experiment engine.

The UltraCart Analytics engine will make a best effort to track users between the landing page domain and the checkout domain when they are different.  There are no additional changes that are required when deploying the tracking script to your external site other than properly configuring the mid and channel parameters.

Firing Events on External Websites

If you have implemented a custom checkout using our REST APIs you may want to fire events when the customer adds items to their cart and initiates the checkout process to help drive the funnel information on the analytics dashboard.  Below are example of firing events when UC Analytics is loaded on the page.

Add Items

window.ucaEvent(
  {
    "event": "add items",
    "items": [
      {
        "itemId": "SKU_1",
        "quantity": 1
      },
      {
        "itemId": "SKU_2",
        "quantity": 1
      }
    ]
  }
);

Initiate Checkout

window.ucaEvent(
  {
    "event": "initiate checkout",
    "items": [
      {
        "itemId": "SKU_1",
        "quantity": 1
      },
      {
        "itemId": "SKU_2",
        "quantity": 1
      }
    ]
  }
);
