Tag Pilot FREE – Google Tag Manager Integration for WooCommerce

Description

Tracking eCommerce events via Google Tag Manager and DataLayer makes adding new growth channels a straighforward task. Regardless of a number of connected platforms the data quality and events coverage stays the same.

This plugin, once activated, starts pushing standard GA4 eCommerce events into GTM DataLayer. Once the data is there you can leverage Google Tag Manager containers to connect virtually any analytics o marketing platform, even if you’re still undecided on your choice.

To speed up the process, our plugin offers pre-packaged integrations for GA4 and Facebook Pixel. You can be up and running in minutes, bypassing the need for time-consuming GTM configuration. See how it works here:

Check live demo here (perform typical shop activities – add to cart, purchase – to see how events are triggered). This demo showcase all PRO plugin features – FREE version is limited to 2 events listed below.

More information and documentation can be found here.

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.

2. Activate the plugin through the Plugins menu in WordPress.
3. 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.
4. 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.
