Add Google Tag Manager to Checkout Page

In this help article, you will learn how to add Google Tag Manager to your checkouts on Checkout Page.

We only recommend using Google Tag Manager if you need fine-grained control over your tracking. For standard setups, we recommend using Google Analytics.

Once set up, Checkout Page will send two custom events to your tag:

• checkoutpage-enter: whenever someone enters your checkout
• checkoutpage-checkout: whenever someone completes your checkout

The checkout event will also contain:

• value
  • one time payments: total amount paid, including setup fee, variants and discounts
  • subscriptions: product price, excluding setup fee, variants, discounts
• checkout: the ID of your checkout
• currency: the currency of your checkout
• orderId: the ID of your customer’s order

To capture these events in Google Analytics and/or Google Ads, you also need to set up triggers and tags.
