In this article we will discuss about how to add conversion tracking in Volusion ecommerce.
Before going further, it would be better if I describe you something about Volusion.
Volusion was founded in Austin, Texas, by Kevin Sproles, and has been in business since 1999. They provide a fully cloud-based ecommerce shopping platform. The company offers all the basic functions needed to operate your own online store, as well as some features that set them apart from their main competitors.
One of the reasons why this platform is so popular among store owners is the fact that it has many features built directly into the dashboard. In other words you don’t need to purchase costly addons through a separate app store. For example, Volusion provides everything from variant pricing to rich text product descriptions. The built-in SEO is pretty easy to understand, and the integrations with places like Amazon and eBay.
Famous Volusion clients include companies such as Intel, 3M and Slickwraps and they currently power more than 40,000 online retailers. Many consider Volusion to be one of the top ecommerce platforms.

They introduced new single repository/container for various codes of google services like Google Tag Manger.
