The next tab to explore after clicking Launch Configurator from your event bucket settings page is the Virtual tab.

Below you will find detailed descriptions of all the settings you can configure in the Virtual tab:

Additional Analytics - Tracking IDs
Google Analytics tracking ID
Use your own Google Analytics account to track page views and purchase events on your virtual catalog. Enter your account ID in the "GA-4" format (for example, GA-4-12345-6) then edit your tracking and logging settings/scripts in your Google Analytics dashboard. Click here to read Google's resource on how to find your "GA-4" Tracking ID.
As of July 1, 2023 Google Analytics are converting from the current "UA" codes to "GA-4" codes. This means all current Google Analytics will cease to work on July 1 unless they are updated to "GA-4". CLICK HERE for information on switching over. You will need to set-up a new GA-4 property and then get the new measurement ID from that to replace the UA one.
Facebook Pixel tracking ID
If specified, automatically log page views and purchase events to your Facebook Pixel. Click here to read Facebook's resource on how to set up Facebook Pixel. Please note, you only need the Facebook Pixel ID (not the full code) to add Pixel tracking to your Virtual Watch Site.
