Testing Your Installation

To ensure that all of your code is properly in place it’s a simple three step process:

  1. Open the homepage of your site and view the HTML source (right click, view source) of the page. If you see the code that you copied and pasted from the first section of this document, your site is properly configured. If you do not see the code, you may need to paste the code into a different template file. Depending on which version of Volusion you are using, your default template may change. If you are using a custom template, you will need to make sure you have the code copied to the template within the File Editor as described in the instructions.

  2. Complete a test purchase on your store, view the HTML source (right click, view source) on the order confirmation page. If you see the code that you copied and pasted from the conversion tracking section of this document, the analytics are installed properly. If you do not see this code in the HTML source, go back and verify that the code was added to the correct page template’s article body section.

  3. If you have exported your order, customer and product data files from Volusion, please make sure to check with your Listrak project manager to ensure that the data was able to be successfully imported into the Listrak database for use with email marketing campaigns.
