Description
OpenCart Google Tag Manager: Opencart Google Tag Manager works as the management system that will allow you to manage tags which will help in monitoring the tracking and analytics of the website by entering the code snippets. With the Opencart Google Tag Manager module, the admin can monitor their Opencart stores.
Google tag manager is a free tool in which the user can quickly use and update their tags and code snippets. The user can add and update many types of tags like Google AdWords, Google Optimise, custom HTML, custom tags and many other third-party tags.
Let us consider a simple example of how GTM works. Information from one data source (your Opencart's website) is shared with another data source (Analytics) through Google Tag Manager. GTM makes it very easy to use when you have lots of tags to manage because all of the codes are stored in one place.
Please Note -
- This module supports all templates and themes including the Journal theme.
- Opencart Google Tag Manager module supports the Multi-Store feature of default Opencart.

How Does The Google Tag Manager Work?
You need to place a small snippet of code on your website. This snippet of code connects your website to the tag manager servers. You can now make use of the web-based user interface to install the tracking codes on your website, like – the Google Analytics tags.
Now, the admin can configure the triggers to fire the tag when the event occurs. A game can be something like – a page load, a tap on a screen, or a form submission. It’s all done through the Tag Manager’s web interface.
When a user interacts with your content, triggers will be evaluated based on the events that you have specified, and the tags will fire accordingly.
How to set up the Google Tag Manager?
If you use Google Analytics (GA), getting started with Google Tag Manager won’t be that difficult. You can set up the GTM by following steps:
- Create a Google Tag Manager account
- Add the container code to every page on your site
- Create your first tag (typically, it’s the GA code snippet)
- Enable the Preview Mode to see if the tag is firing
- Head over to the GA real-time report to ensure visits are being recorded
- Publish the container

- The admin can manage any account with the help of this module just by changing the Container's ID.
- The admin can enable the module for customer information.

Note - The admin needs to log in through the same Gmail ID through which the Container ID is generated.
Track & check Analytics
The admin can easily add Google Tag Manager code snippet on various Opencart store pages for tracking and checking the analytics as required:
