How do we capture UTM parameters in a Woocommerce site?

All professional campaign managers want to measure their actual results. No, not the overall results but as specific results as possible. it’s very easy to track landing page campaigns and it’s very hard to track e-commerce campaigns.

The issue with e-commerce websites is that users may go throw many pages before they complete a purchase or create a tracking event. more so, many times users visit an e-commerce website and browse items and only later complete their purchase.

Google, Facebook, and many other ad platforms collect real data of users visiting your site but they don’t share it with us. and we most definitely want to know what’s what – for example, if we have 5 purchases in Facebook campaign results, what products are they? did they start or end with Facebook ads? how long did it take to complete those orders and so on…

How to view UTM reports for woocommerce?

UTM parameters will be available at 4 different placements:

  1. In any order or lead notification on your mobile app (phone).
  2. In any order screen in WEmanage mobile app (under order data)
  3. In your statistics tab in WEmanage mobile app (main screen).
