I must be doing something wrong somewhere. Help!



I have a digital product with a Buy Now button. It seems I need to host my own thank-you page in order to get Adwords PPC tracking working.



On the product setup page, I've clicked Redirect

On the next page I enter the redirection URL of the thank-you page on my site.



In the HTML for my thank-you page, I've tried using both the php and js from this page (one at a time, of course):



http://www.e-junkie.com/ej/tips.redirection.download-link.htm



The result is the same. In the place where I expect to see the download link (ie in the iframe) instead the javascript has the effect of recursively loading my thank-you page so I end up with a thank-you page inside a thank-you page inside a thank-you page etc.



Clearly the e-junkie URL is fetching my thank-you page again rather than the download URL.



What am I doing wrong? Thanks!

The instructions you linked will only work with a Common Thank-you Page URL, not with product-specific Redirection URL. If your digital product is a download, you cannot combine that with a product-specific Redirection anyway; enabling one disables the other and vice-versa.



However, it's not necessary to do any of that; you can simply customize your E-junkie-generated thank-you pages to add your tracking code. To add the same code for all your products, just go to Seller Admin > Account Preferences > Common Thank-you Page HTML and paste your tracking code in there; however, if you need to add the code for only a specific product, put it in the Message (HTML) field of that product's settings.



If your product is not a download, buyers may not ever choose to view any thank-you page, so in that case you may want to use our Cart instead of Buy Now buttons, so you can use the technique described on our Tracking help page here:

Ah, I missed that the solution I was using was for common thank-you pages only. Thanks for the suggested solution - sounds easy. I'll give it a go!



Many thanks!
