Ecommerce how to use the getEcommerceItems function

General questions

Hello,

I’m tracking my products orders on my ecommerce website by using the functions addEcommerceItem() and trackEcommerceCartUpdate() like this :

// Product Array
_paq.push(['addEcommerceItem',
  "01234567890", // (required) SKU: Product unique identifier
  "Ecommerce Analytics Book", // (optional) Product name
  "Books", // (optional) Product category. You can also specify an array of up to 5 categories eg. ["Books", "New releases", "Biography"]
  9.99, // (Recommended) Product Price
  1 // (Optional - Defaults to 1)
]);

// Pass the Cart's Total Value as a numeric parameter
_paq.push(['trackEcommerceCartUpdate', 15.5]);

source : https://developer.matomo.org/api-reference/tracking-javascript#ecommerce

It works fine. But I don’t understand how to use the getEcommerceItems() function.
I get nothing with _paq.push([‘getEcommerceItems’]);
How am I supposed to use it correctly ?

Thanks for the help.

Hi,

The savest way to use such functions (as it runs asynchronously whenever Matomo has finished processing all other _paq commands) is something like this:

_paq.push([function () {
    console.log(this.getEcommerceItems())
}])

If you know for sure that at the time your Javascript runs, Matomo has already been initialized, you can also use something like this

let tracker = Piwik.getAsyncTracker()
console.log(tracker.getAsyncTracker())
