Help with tracking code

[JimboS]

I wonder if someone could confirm that what I am doing here is correct.

I have been asked to enter some code into our sites so that we can track where referrals come from and how much they spend.

I have been asked to:
“add the code in the footer of a page that comes after a sale. An example of such a page might be one that says "Thank you for your order" or "Thank you for sending us an e-mail". Again, this snippet should be placed within any BODY tags:”

I assume that this would be at the bottom of Act_Order04.html

Then I have been asked to replace part of the code I have been given with the variable which will let us know how much that person has spent.

Would this be NETQUOTEVAR:CARTCOOKIEVALUE

Many thanks

No.

There are several variables which refer to pricing in different formats (all in pennies, as a currency string with a currency symbol, etc) - so which one you need depends on the format your referrer scheme needs the details in.

The netquotevars available, and their formats, are listed in the v7 Advanced User Guide - near the back.

I am I right that Act_Order04.html is the final confirmation page after payment has been made?

[wjcampbe]

Yes, that is correct.

Thanks for the help so far Bill.

I have been looking in Apendix D: NETQUOTVAR dictionary and am struggling with exactly which NETQUOTVAR to use.

If we assume that I need the value of the order placed in uk pounds with a £ sign - I make it NETQUOTVAR:TOTAL

Is this correct

[wjcampbe]

No - it will not be NQV:TOTAL to get both the symbol and the amount formatted in pounds and pence, you will need one of the first two shown below.

NETQUOTEVAR:FORMATTEDORDERTOTALHTML - the order total formatted in the appropriate currency and encoded for HTML display
NETQUOTEVAR:FORMATTEDORDERTOTALCGI - the order total formatted in the appropriate currency and encoded for CGI
NETQUOTEVAR:ACTINICORDERTOTAL - the order total formatted in the Actinic internal format (integer number in currency base unit)
NETQUOTEVAR:NUMERICORDERTOTALCGI - the order total partially formatted in the appropriate currency and encoded for CGI. This value include decimal and thousand separators, but leaves off the currency symbol.
