How to set up Google Tag Manager for Enhanced Ecommerce Tracking

Google Tag Manager does not replace Google Analytics(GA).


Instead, it helps users to easily add Google Analytics tracking codes (tags) to your website, deploy GA event code snippets and define rules, when each tag must fire. Google Tag Manager is the middle-man of your digital analytics implementation on your website. 



If you already have a Google Analytics account, please use its Tracking ID for Google Tag Manager.
