Google Analytics Goals for WHMCS

Goals measure how well your site fulfills your target objectives. A goal represents a completed activity, called a conversion, that contributes to the success of your business. Defining goals is a fundamental component of any digital analytics measurement plan. Having properly configured goals allows Analytics to provide you with critical information, such as the number of conversions and the conversion rate for your WHMCS. Without this information, it's almost impossible to evaluate the effectiveness of your online business and marketing campaigns.

Tag Manager & Enhanced eCommerce for WHMCS module enables you to create goals based on defined events that are triggered at certain stages of the shopping funnel.
