Google Analytics Goals/Funnels was not setup right after we migrated our store to M9 last December, so we lost the opportunity to capture all that data -frustrating!
Anyway, I have taken it upon myself to fix it on my own, but I need some clarification.
According to MIVA Docs How To Guides for "Google Analytics Tutorial" these are the checkout pages I should track:
Which in our M9 Levels ReadyThemes store are named:
Basket: /shopping.html
Customer information: /checkout-customer-information.html
Shipping Information: /checkout-special-offers.html
Payment information: /checkout-payment-information.html
Invoice: /invoice.html
The problem that I am concerned with is that I am not sure if its correct and/or even a good idea to track the Basket page a good idea.
Here is why:
Just a thought.

Here is why:
- Depending on how a shopper adds each items to cart they may and/or not be redirected to Basket page. Thus not having a consistent checkout process among all shoppers, which for analytical tracking purposes I don't think it would be a good idea.
- Shouldn't the Goal/Funnel tracking start at the checkout page (e.g.: Sign-in, Create Account, As Guest)?
Just a thought.
