I've been trying to get my purchases from a Shopify Buy Button on my website to be tracked. I wouldn't call myself a coder, but after some trial and error, I've gotten close! Need a bit of help to get it working perfectly.

1. I set up cross-domain tracking and added my main site to the blocked referral list

2. I added this snippet to the Additional Scripts section of my Shopify checkout section (replacing with my main website and UA code)

<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=UA-XXXXXXXXX-X"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('set', 'linker', {'domains': ['mainwebsite.com']});
gtag('js', new Date());

gtag('config', 'UA-XXXXXXXXX-X');
gtag('event', 'purchase', {transaction_id: {{checkout.order_number}}, value: {{checkout.subtotal_price}}, shipping: {{checkout.shipping_price}}});
</script>

When using Tag Assistant, I can see that it is pulling the order id #, the subtotal price, and shipping price. However, it is pulling it without the decimal, i.e. a $30.00 order is showing as $3000. Also, cannot get it to be able to pull a list of the line items.

Any help would be much appreciated!

Hi Ron,

Did you get any luck tracking your sales from the Shopify Buy Button?

For now Google Analytics sees someone who clicks "checkout" as a new direct visitor with no history, it's very frustrating to not be able to attribute the sales to the channel...

Any help is appreciated.
