Track WooCommerce external/affiliate product link clicks in Google Analytics

  1. Install Google Analytics Plugin
  2. Add following code snippet in functions.php
    /**
    * Track external/affiliate link clicks snippet
    */

    function candc_track_affiliate_clicks_script() {
    ?>
    <script>
    ;
    ( function( $ ) {
      "use strict";

      // current page host
      var baseURI = window.location.host;

      // click event on body
      $("p.cart").on("click", function(e) {

    // abandon if link already aborted or analytics is not available
    if (e.isDefaultPrevented() || typeof ga !== "function") return;

    // abandon if no active link or link within domain
    var link = $(e.target).closest("a");
    if (link.length != 1 || baseURI == link[0].host) return;

    // cancel event and record outbound link
    e.preventDefault();
    var href = link[0].href;
    ga('send', {
      'hitType': 'event',
      'eventCategory': 'External Affiliate Link',
      'eventAction': 'clicked',
      'eventLabel': href,
      'hitCallback': loadPage
    });

    // redirect after one second if recording takes too long
    setTimeout(loadPage, 1000);

    // redirect to outbound page
    function loadPage() {
      document.location = href;
    }
      });

      // Close anon function.
    }( jQuery ) );
    </script>
        <?php
    }
    add_action( 'wp_footer', 'candc_track_affiliate_clicks_script' );
  3. Add external affiliate product and check real time events!
  4. Done.
