Hi Trenton,

I will try the suggestions and fixes, will let you how it goes.

I did some research and tried these other fixes.
1. I have added a Event Tracking Code (EDT) to the buy buttons of Paypal and Eway. The EDT is added where the user clicks on the buy button and leaves our website from there. This is done to record the button click and send the report to Google analytics.
2. Enabled 'Auto Return' and Paypal PDT (Payment Data Transfer) which transfers the users GA reports.

So, after applying this I got two transactions recently, but both are recorded under direct traffic in GA Aquisition report. Attaching a snapshot. 
I am not clear where is the traffic coming from. Any thoughts.

Hey Trenton,

Thanks for helping me out. I will try to give me as much coordination possible. Here's the information you asked for:

-My site is built on Magento platform.
-We use two payment gateways 1. paypal.com and 2. eway.com - I guess these are the 3rd party payment gateways you are refering to.

2- So I am in the process of including the GA tracking code on every page of the site.

3- Yes I understand the previous customers cannot be tracked. I tried looking at the user explorer but doesn't show any revenue earned. Attaching a snapshot.

Also, for now, I have including both paypal.com and eway.com in the referral exclusion list. Plus as mentioned earlier in session settings I have made the campaign timeout zero -> Should I be cautious?

Let me know how should I proceed now.

Hi,

Thank you for the tip. Campaign timeout was set at 6 months, I have changed it to zero months now. So no cookies will be saved now, will this have any problems regarding tracking the user's original source page? For example, did he come from a social media platform, guest blog or a returning customer who already knows my brand?

Hi Mozzers, I went through many Q&As in the community this morning. I found a solution where I could just remove the referral site in analytics>admin>property>tracking info>referral exclusion list. So I removed paypal.com which was the main referral traffic. I thought the problem is solved.

Later today I got another order, now the referral traffic is from eway.com, now what? Yes I know I will add this to the exclusion list but there will be many more referral sites.

My main concern is I am not able to track the actual traffic source. How do I do that?

1. Do I need to use google url tracking for all my pages?
2. Do I need to add tracking code in each page of the site?
3. Is there a way to track the actual source of this traffic, now that the transaction is already made but reflects as referral traffic in Google Analytics?
