Hello,
My site features a 3rd party site's products, and I would like to track visitors from entrance to completed transaction using Google Analytics or another analytics package. This is the process:
(A) Customer on my site
(B) -> Clicks through to merchant site
(C) -> Completes transaction and goes to merchant 'Thank You' page
I currently have the Google Analytics code on my site, but not on the merchant's site. The merchant may cooperate by letting me put some code on the 'Thank you' page (C) of their site, but NOT throughout the rest of their site (B).
Is there any way I can track which visitors completed the transaction? Any javascript or pixel or iframe that I could place on (C) that would enable tracking?
I found a creative solution elsewhere where I:
- create a 'Post transaction' page on my site (D) containing my Google analytics code
- get the merchant to include an Iframe of (D) in their Thank You page (C)
However I tried this and it didn't work, there was no record of (D) being visited. Would it help if I got the merchant to redirect from (C) to (D) after the transaction is completed?
Or is tracking a third party transaction impossible without adding my analytics code throughout their whole site?
