Hi Team,

I am using s.product string to capture the product details. I am capturing the primary category in evar16 and 17. I am using the below code to capture the data:

So, now if multiple product is added in the cart, then multiple values in coming in the report, so can I resolve the issue through classification.

Dear Bindu,

Sorry, Classification is not the solution for your use case.

Guess, rather than capturing the products in the syntax below

s.products = "Category1;Product1;;;;eVar14=Value1|eVar17=Value1,Category2;Product2;;;;eVar14=Value2|eVar17=Value2,Category3;Product3;;;;eVar14=Value3|eVar17=Value3,";

you are capturing it as

s.products = "Category1,Category2,Category3;Product1,Product2,Product3;;;;eVar14=Value1,Value2,Value3|eVar17=Value1,Value2,Value3";

So, you need to have a proper syntax on your product string and that will resolve your issue.

PS: I have bolded few values so that you can understand the difference due to multiple products.

I think your code is wrong.

You're resetting s.products with each item in your shopti_data_layer's products array. What you should be doing is to append each item to s.products.

So something like this:

s.products = "";
for (var i=0; i < window.shopti_data_layer.products.length; i++) {
  var product = window.shopti_data_layer.products[i].category + ";" + [rest of the product's data and eVars to be tracked];
  s.products = s.apl(s.products, product);
}

@yuhuisg, it is not resetting basically, when user is adding multiple products in cart, then evar16 and evar17 is storing multiple categories in it. how we can avoid this?

Yes you can use classification to resolve this.

Which eVar does your freeform table screenshot refer to?
