Hello, I have the following scenario: 1. The user has an on-site shopping cart where he adds products. 2. When the user clicks on checkout he is POSTed to a script that computes the buy link to an off-site shopping cart and redirects him with the Location header. 3. The user continues with the payment in the 3rd party website. please explain me step by step and which code i use to track 3rd party shopping cart.
If you can't place your conversion tracking on the 3rd party cart then I believe all you can do is track outbound links on the "buy link". But, this would just show you how many people intended to purchase and not necessarily how many purchased. Well, actually I guess this would show you a ratio between those that clicked the "buy now link" and those that bought which actually might be more useful information. Here is how you track outbound links: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=55527
