WooCommerce UTM Guide

How to Track UTM in WooCommerce Orders

If you sell plugins, templates, courses or digital products with WooCommerce, knowing where orders and leads come from is essential. This guide explains how to save UTM, gclid, referrer and landing page without complicating checkout.

Without UTM you don't know which channels bring sales

Google Ads, newsletters, social media, communities and direct links can bring similar traffic but different value. Saving UTM parameters in the WooCommerce order helps you understand which campaigns generate real purchases and which only produce visits.

Useful data

What should be saved

  • utm_source: identifies the channel, for example newsletter, google, linkedin.
  • utm_medium: distinguishes email, cpc, referral, social.
  • utm_campaign: Link orders and leads to the specific campaign.
  • gclid, fbclid, msclkid: they help in advertising campaigns.
  • landing page and referrer: show the user's first entry onto the site.
