Add Custom Variables to GTM

Follow these steps to pass back custom variables, such as product_id and order_id.

  • Go to the tag edit screen and scroll to 'Custom Data'
  • Under 'Key', enter product_id (required for dynamic ads) and order_id (Optional)
  • Under 'Value', select a variable that corresponds to that data by clicking on the icon on the right and selecting it from the variables available
  • For any additional data that you want to track, click Add Custom Data and repeat the process.
  • Click 'Save'
  • To deploy any change made, click 'Submit'

 

Identify Revenue Variables

If you're unsure where on your conversion page your revenue data is stored, your best option is to consult with your technical team.

The most common places are DOM Elements, Javascript Variables, and DataLayer Variables.

DOM Elements are HTML tags within the page. These include everything from images (<img>), paragraphs (<p>), various inputs (<input>).
