12. Enable personalized advertising and auto-tagging
13. Under Data Streams, copy button to capture Measurement ID to send to your website design vendor for implementation
14. Implement the following scripts on every website page in the <head> section reflecting your unique UA code (from your Universal account) and measure ID (from your GA4 account). *If you're a TCMS customer, rezStream will implement these scripts for you so please send your IDs to changes@rezStream.com.
<script type="text/javascript">
(function(i,s,o,g,r,a,m){i['GoogleAnalyticsObject']=r;i[r]=i[r]||function(){(i[r].q=i[r].q||[]).push(arguments)},i[r].l=1*new Date();a=s.createElement(o),
m=s.getElementsByTagName(o)[0];a.async=1;a.src=g;m.parentNode.insertBefore(a,m)
})(window,document,'script','//www.google-analytics.com/analytics.js','ga');
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXXXXXX', 'auto', {'allowLinker': true });
ga('require', 'linker');
ga('linker:autoLink', ['rezstream.com'], false, true);
ga('require', 'ecommerce');
ga('send', 'pageview');
</script>
<!-- Global Site Tag (gtag.js) - Google Analytics -->
<script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XXXXXXXXX"></script>
<script>
window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || [];
function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);}
gtag('set', 'linker', {'domains': ['YOURDOMAIN.com', 'guest.rezstream.com']});
gtag('js', new Date());
gtag('config', 'G-XXXXXXXXX');
</script>
15. Once you've implemented the above tracking scripts on every page of your website, submit a request to Support@rezStream.com to implement Universal and GA4 revenue tracking providing your UA code (from your Universal account) and measure ID (from your GA4 account) if you're a Cloud PMS customer. If you're a TCMS and Cloud PMS customer, you can submit these details to Changes@rezStream.com.
16. Create a reminder after a week of implementation to confirm tracking is coming through correctly on both accounts including online bookings and revenue by comparing to Sales by Channel (Excluding Changes) report in the Cloud PMS.
