Help needed setting up WooCommerce GA goals for product clicks and cart removal

    Hello.

    Inside my WP I have the GA integration plugin installed. I have set it up with my GA ID and ticked all the options with regards to Enhanced Ecommerce.

    That means that it should be tracking all the available enhanced ecommerce options.

    Inside GA, using the goal solutions gallery, I imported the WooCommerce goals from this:

    https://analytics.google.com/analytics/gallery/#posts/search/%3F_.term%3Dwoocommerce%26_.start%3D0%26_.viewId%3Dw1eV_i49RY-VcazwO45dTw/

    When I import these and test them, only Add to Cart and Start Checkout works.

    If I remove a product from cart it is not triggered as a conversion.

    Neither is it triggered if I click a product to view it.

    For example, my product URL looks like this:

    https://www.mydomain.com/product/unisex-shirt-charcoal/?v=7516fd43adaa

    Surely I can then make a goal where the destination URL is /product/*/?v=7516fd43adaa to capture every time someone clicks a product as the goal conversion?

    Yet when I try this it doesn’t seem to work, at least in the realtime > conversions section.

    Can anyone help me with what is wrong?

    Many thanks.

    Have you checked whether the match type is too restrictive?

    Here is an article you can read to learn more about match type for URL destination goals:
