How To Enable Google Analytics For Your Magento Store?

Google analytics is a great platform that enables the store owners and website administrators to monitor the website traffic behavior and conversion ratio. Two types of tracking methods are supported by Magento:

Page View Tracking : Shows the origin from where your store visitors/users linked to your online store.

E-Commerce Tracking : Shows the users who purchase from your website and what they purchase.

Your first step is to sign up on Google Marketing Platform. After your registration is done, you will receive a Google Analytics account number, note that down.

Your next step is to configure Google analytics so that it starts tracking the traffic to your Magento store. Steps are mentioned below:
