I'm trying to setup my Google Adwords account to track my e-commerce (revenue) transactions, but I'm not sure how to generate (build) the date for their hidden form that needs to be added to footer.php osCommerce page... Here's the reponse I got from Google, but i'm still not sure how to get my "shopping cart/payment processor" to build this data..

I have Analytics tracking and Converting Tracking working just fine, it's just not tracking ecommerce revenue data.. Please see google's reponse below (I have done steps 1 and 2):

In response to your question regarding the hidden form, you will need to include the utmform in your receipt page if you want to track all of your e-commerce transactions. The information required in the utmform should be filled in by the shopping cart/payment processor you are using.
You will need to do this just once, but make sure the variables correspond
according to your shopping cart.

Once again, please make sure that all of these steps are completed:

1. The receipt page has the tracking code.
2. E-commerce tracking has been enabled in your profile.
3. The utmform has been included in the receipt page.
4. <body onLoad="javascript:__utmSetTrans()"> has been included in the receipt page.

If you are still unable to see your data after ensuring that these four steps are completed, please send us the full source code of your receipt page so that we can investigate further.

I have included the link to our help site again for your reference:
[google.com...]

Any idea? Has anyone else done this?

Installing GA scripts gets you webmaster data. To complete the picture, you need to also install the google conversion tracking snippets on your "thanks for buying" page. This code is completely separate from the GA scripts you've installed elsewhere. The GA stuff you installed, you found under the "Analytics" tab in your AdWords account.

In your AdWords account, look under the "Campaign Management" tab, "Conversion Tracking" sub menu... configure how you want to track sales and make sure your variable names, from your thank you page, are properly setup here to generate the conversion tracking code snippet (they're calling it utmform or whatever). Grab that code and install it on your receipt page (what I call the "thanks for buying" page). Run a test purchase after clicking on your own ppc ad, then allow 24 hours for conversion data to post into your AdWords account.

Have fun!
