Advantage over alternative solutions
Only one plugin needed
Without a GTM plugin, you would need a separate plugin for each of those integrations. Each plugin can track events differently. They can cause conflicts and slow-down on the front-end
With a dedicated GTM plugin, all data is sent in standardized Google format to Google Tag Manager which forwards events to multiple destination services.
Reporting consistency
A common problem when trying to use other GTM and Google Analytics plugins is that data can be sent twice corrupting analytics reporting. Using DataLayer is a standard way to ensure your tracking information stays consistent across all connected tools.
Google Consent Mode v2
Using GTM and dataLayer allows to build more complex scenarios, such as only processing the data after obtaining user consent. Other plugin directly pipe events into target system no matter if required permission was given or not.
- Upload or install GTM for WooCommerce plugin from WordPress plugins directory.
- Activate the plugin through the
Plugins
menu in WordPress.
- That's it! If GTM is already implemented in your WordPress your eCommerce data will be pushed to GTM DataLayer. If not head to
Settings > Google Tag Manager
and paste in GTM snippets.
- Go to your Google Tag Manager workspace and define what you want to do with the tracked data. We know that settings up the GTM workspace may be cumbersome. That's why the plugin comes with a GTM container presets that you can import to your GTM workspace to create all required Tags, Triggers, and Variables in few simple clicks.
