Ecommerce Data Layer

Volusion provides ecommerce data for tracking:

// Available on product pages
v_product_name     // Product name
v_product_price    // Product price
v_product_code     // Product SKU/code

// Available on order confirmation
v_order_id         // Order ID
v_order_total      // Order total

Checkout Tracking

Volusion checkout can be tracked:

  • Cart page: Standard tracking
  • Checkout steps: Template customization
  • Order confirmation: Built-in variables

Integration Best Practices

1. Use Template Files

For consistent tracking:

  1. Edit header.html for head code
  2. Edit footer.html for body code
  3. Applies to all pages automatically

2. Consolidate Through GTM

For complex tracking:

  • Install GTM once in templates
  • Add all pixels through GTM
  • Easier management and updates
  • Better debugging capabilities

3. Test Before Publishing

  1. Preview template changes
  2. Use debug extensions
  3. Verify on staging if available
  4. Test full purchase flow

4. Handle Dynamic Data

Use Volusion variables for ecommerce:

<script>
  dataLayer.push({
    'productName': '%product_name%',
    'productPrice': '%product_price%'
  });
</script>

Migration Considerations

If on Volusion Classic:

  • Consider upgrading to V2
  • V2 has better tracking options
  • Modern template system
  • Improved performance
