Google Analytics

Voucherify allows you to integrate with Google Analytics and track your landing pages. Keep your finger on the pulse and track landing pages performance to be able to react in real-time to any issues that may arise. 

Create a new project on Google Cloud Platform

If you don't have an account you will be asked to create one. The account is free for a given timeframe and you won't be charged unless you manually upgrade to a paid plan.

From your Dashboard, go to My Projects and select New Project.  Here, Google will automatically name your project (keep in mind that you may edit the name). Also, you will be asked to provide information about your company.

Enable Google Analytics APIs for your project 

Next, go to APIs overview from your dashboard.

Later, click Enable APIs which will take you to API Library.

Here we need to find two APIs - Google Analytics API and Google Analytics Reporting API.

Select the API and click  Enable.

In order to use the APIs properly, you need credentials, such as a key or email address, to allow smooth communication between the Google API and your platform. 

Obtain credentials for your project

We need to create a service account that allows for server-to-server communication. Click on Create Credentials. 

After selecting the type, you'll be asked to name your service account and optionally select the role to limit access to the project for those team members who are authorized to do so.   

Next, you need to generate the keys. Navigate to IAM and admin → Service Accounts. Choose the service account you created in the step above. Go to the Keys tab and click Add Key → Create new key. Go with the JSON key format and click Create. The key is going to be downloaded onto your device. Remember to keep it secured as it grants access to your project and operates like a password.

Set up Google Analytics

Next, go to Google Analytics. If you are using Analytics for the first time, you may be asked to create an account and fill out information about data sharing settings, property details, business details and sign a terms of service agreement. Learn more on this topic in the official Google documentation. 

Select Options at the bottom (gear icon) → Account Access Management → Plus → Add Users.

Here we need to provide the email address that can be found in the project keys that we've just downloaded. Open this file (you can do it via normal text editor) and find "client_email".

Copy it and paste into Google Analytics and click Add:

Integrate Voucherify and Google Analytics

Go to your Voucherify account → Integrations → Connect. To learn more about Integrations, check out these resources:

• Integration catalog
• Integration overview
• Integration Guide

Here, you'll be asked to provide client email and private key - both of which you'll find in the file that you've downloaded.

Let's go back to this file and look for the client's email and private key. The client email is the same one that we've posted in Google Analytics. The private key is quite long so don't be taken aback and copy everything between the quotations "..." including BEGIN PRIVATE KEY and END PRIVATE KEY.

-----BEGIN PRIVATE KEY-----\nMIIEvgIBADANghml3/lJiPS\n-----END PRIVATE KEY-----\n

^{*Note: The Private Key has been truncated in the example above for visual purposes to show the start and end of the key.}

After setting this info up, select the Google Analytics Account created at the very beginning of this tutorial and click Update Configuration.

Attach Google Analytics to your landing page

Now, let's go to the Landing Pages creator and select the landing page that you would like to track with the help of Google Analytics. 

Go to the Releases tab. Here click Analytics-settings . 

Test your integration

Open your Landing Page in a new Incognito tab in Chrome. Ensure Ad blocking is disabled. Start interacting with the landing page and see data in Real-time in Google Analytics. 

View Google Analytics in Voucherify
