If you choose Google Ads as an implementation source, you will be able to deploy this using Google Tag directly on your website or via Google Tag Manager. Follow below steps for this implementation method:
- Make sure that standard conversion tracking is already set up to track your purchases.
- Ensure that the Purchase conversion's "Conversion goal and action optimization" is set to Primary.
- Add conversions with cart data parameters to standard conversion tracking to enhance data and report metrics. Learn more about conversions with cart data parameters.
- Adding the optional Merchant Center parameters will enhance data quality. This is especially important if you have multiple Merchant Center accounts that use the same item IDs for different products.

gtag(, {"send_to": "AW-9999999999/abc123xyz",
"transaction_id": "1545c34e-691e-4726-aeda-b798df255e9c",

"quantity": 1,
"price": 30.00
}
]
<!-- End of CwCD Parameters -->
});
/* ]]> */
</script>
Example of a data layer implementation
<!-- Sample Code datalayer push -->
dataLayer.push({
"event": 'purchase',

"quantity": 2,
"price": 12.50
},
{
"id": "P67890",
"quantity": 1,
"price": 30.00
}
]
<!-- End CwCD Parameters datalayer push -->
