Setting Up Your Google Analytics On Opencart.

For this tutorial, I will be showing you how to set up your Google Analytics on your opencart store. I will be using my opencart dashboard and my Google Analytics account. First, you need to access your opencart dashboard and click on extensions, this will show a drop down menu and you need to click on analytics. 

Dashboard - Extensions [1] - Analytics [2].

This will bring you to the analytics list, in the list you will see Google Analytics. You need to install this (green box with a + symbol), once installed click on edit (blue pencil icon).

 
When in edit you will see two boxes Google Analytics code and status. You need to fill the Google Analytics box with your code and make sure the status box is enabled.
I have seen a few people adding their Tracking ID to the Google Analytics code, like so:

Tracking ID

However, when you do this, this will happen:

Tracking ID

Your Tracking ID appears in the top left side of your store, this is because the code that you need to enter into the google analytics box is not the Tracking ID. To get the correct code you need to access you google analytics account, got to Admin - Property - Tracking Info - Tracking Code. Underneath the Tracking ID is a section called website tracking, this is the code you need to copy into your dashboard.

Google Analytics.

Once you have entered the website tracking code your analytics extension will look like this:

Analytic Extension.

Now your Google Analytics will work with your store and the Tracking ID will not be showing in the top left-hand corner of your store.

Tracking ID is now gone.
