 Hello, 

That's right, Squarespace does not support GTM implementation on their sites and therefore this is not supported on their checkout process, even if you're checking out users on your own domain, there's no control over what happens in the backend of that checkout page. 

However, we've found a workaround for this issue which works perfectly for us. 

So, the idea behind having Google Tag Manager on the site is so that you can track specific actions that you can't track by simply using Google Analytics - I take it that this is why you're also using GTM. 

One of the first steps we take whenever setting up GTM is to setup a "page view" tag to send this data into Analytics, which I assume you've also done. 

We also know that Squarespace and eCommerce tracking through GTM doesn't work, HOWEVER, eCommerce tracking through Google Analytics IS SUPPORTED by Squarespace (by adding the ID code within the web settings) so, the solution here is to use a combined approach by doing some of the tracking through GTM and some of it through the out of the box tracking with Squarespace and Google Analytics. 

Follow these rough steps (I'm assuming you've got experience with GTM and that you've already done some of the implementation):

- Add your analytics tracking code to Squarespace settings
- Enable eCommerce tracking and enhanced eCommerce settings within your Google Analytics view
- Go to your GTM container and PAUSE the tag that's sending "Page View" data into Google Analytics
- Voila! 🙂 

This way, Squarespace will take care of sending Page View and eCommerce data into your Google Analytics and you can do all of your behavioural tracking (button clicks, scrolling, Facebook Pixel, etc) within your GTM container. 

I hope that's clear enough and that it works for you. Let me know if it does! 🙂 

All the best,
Mariano

How did you get e-commerce working with Google Analytics? Do you just install the tracking code: UA-XXXXXXXX-Y into Settings > Advanced > External API Keys  

Do we need to add anything into Settings > Advanced > Code Injection ??

Mines not working ... 😞

did you figure out the solution as at my side it's not working after enabling Enhanced E-Commerce at GA.

Hello, 

Is the process not double counting your analytics? I am a little confused as GA tracking is a GTM tag. why is it stopping ecommerce data if its is the same thing? Why is GTM not allowing the ecommerce data?

There is a built-in integration to connect your site to Google Analytics. If you're using Google Analytics to track conversions for your eCommerce store, Squarespace should send the following information to Google Analytics for every received order:

• Order ID
• Your store name
• Purchase total (includes shipping)
• Customer's city, region, and country
• Product name
• SKU

If this isn't working for you, I suggest you read the support article Using Google Analytics with Squarespace and then contact Squarespace Customer Care if you need more help.

Hey  @LianLim @ParadiseTechsoft @mafzal @jqarthur

it looks like y'all were having issues in Universal Analytics, but just in case you're having similar issues with GA4, I wanted to share the custom code and guide I created to track ecommerce on Squarespace sites using Google Tag Manager: https://www.tayloreddata.com/blog/how-to-track-ga4-ecommerce-events-on-your-squarespace-website

You can simply copy and paste the code into your own Google Tag Manager containers, just test and ensure it works for your website 🙂

Once I implemented this code, I'm able to measure how many people view my products, select a item, add to cart, remove from cart, begin checkout, and make a purchase in GA4:

Let me know if you have any questions!
