How to set the measurement code?

‍

The measurement code is used so that you can monitor the performance of your ads, get detailed statistics and use other features to improve your results. Below you will find a simple guide on how to set up a tracking code on your online store.

‍

The FastCentrik platform enables the integration of measurement codes via Google Tag Manager. This tool allows you to manage different measurement codes from one place.

‍

Have you already created a container in Google Tag Manager?

Google Tag Manager (GTM) is a tool from Google that allows easy management and implementation of tracking codes (so-called tags) on the website without having to modify the source code of the website every time it changes.

‍

Before you start setting up the tracking code, verify that you already have a container created in GTM. If you already have a container, just use it. If not, it needs to be created first.

How do I know if I have a container in GTM?

1. Sign in to Google Tag Manager using your Google account.
2. Check if you have already created a container for your online store.

‍

💡 If you don't have a container yet, follow the instructions below to create one.

‍

1. Creating a container in Google Tag Manager

If you have found that you do not have a container for your online store, you must first create one.
