Return URL details

    We’re trying to add proper Google Analytics ecommerce tracking and having some difficulty. Can you confirm that we have this much correct?

    Paypal Express for WooCommerce sets the link that the customer sees after a successful payment. It’s set in the data Paypal Express for WC sends to Paypal:

    [RETURNURL] => https://<domain>/wc-api/WC_Gateway_PayPal_Express_AngellEYE/?pp_action=get_express_checkout_details

    That overrides any setting in the Paypal account itself – correct?

    Presumably that link redirects to the WooCommerce Checkout EndPoint usually order-received ? We have a custom Thankyou.php in the child theme.

    Question
    How can I add the parameter ?utm_nooverride=1 to the URL. This is recommended for GA ecommerce tracking so the source domain is the store, not Paypal.

    Thanks,

    This is something we will be fixing in an upcoming release by adding the In-Context checkout option so that no redirect takes place. This will leave the referrer in place.

    We’re working hard to get that released as quickly as possible. It’s probably going to be a few weeks. We’ll be sure to update you here as soon as that particular issue is resolved so you can grab the update early if you’d like to.

    I’ll leave it with you.

    May I suggest … that the Return URL be displayed on the PP Express for WC setup/details screen. It’s a detail that users need for analytics setup etc. Instead of digging around to find out, having it on the setup screen would be helpful. Not a biggie, just a thought.

    Thanks for the reply.

    Thanks for the feedback. We’ll see about getting that added when we fix this issue.

    Where does Google Analytics ask you for a return URL?

    We have made adjustments that will fix the referrer issue and this will be included in the 1.4.6.3 update coming soon!
