1.- Installation

Install Google Marketing Tools through these simple steps, no technical knowledge is required to do so.

Installation in Opencart 2.x and 3.x

  1.    Unzip the main file "Google Marketing Tools V.X.X.X.zip", which contains other individual zip files for each version of Opencart.
  2. Once logged in the Opencart administration, go to "Extensions> Installer" and install the zip which name is within the range of your version of Opencart:
    • 1.5.X-to-2.2.0.0-google_marketing_tools.ocmod.zip: For versions from 2.0.0.0 to 2.2.0.0
    • 2.3.X-google_marketing_tools.ocmod.zip: For versions 2.3.x
    • 3.X-google_marketing_tools.ocmod.zip: For versions 3.x
  3. Go to "Extensions> Modifications" to refresh OCMOD changes.
  4. IMPORTANT FOR USERS 3.X: Opencart 3 by default brings a cache system, we recommend refreshing the cache from the "dashboard" of the administration, in a blue button with a gear located in the upper right.
  5. As a last step, go to "Extensions> Modules", filter by "Modules" and you will see "Google Marketing Tools" in the first positions, then press the green "Install" button and then agree to edit the extension.
  6. Additional step only for Opencart users from 2.0.0.0 to 2.1.0.2: Open the "index.php" file from your Opencart root directory and add this line just before "// Fron controller

require_once(DIR_SYSTEM.'library/google_marketing_tools/includes/startup_libraries.php');
