Magento remarketing tag

Question

I have a magento remarketing tag but I can not configure it correctly. I have the following parameters:

var google_tag_params = {
ecomm_prodid: 'REPLACE_WITH_VALUE',
ecomm_pagetype: 'REPLACE_WITH_VALUE',
ecomm_totalvalue: 'REPLACE_WITH_VALUE',
dynx_itemid: 'REPLACE_WITH_VALUE',
dynx_itemid2: 'REPLACE_WITH_VALUE',
dynx_pagetype: 'REPLACE_WITH_VALUE',
dynx_totalvalue: 'REPLACE_WITH_VALUE',
};

This returns me the following errors:

Number field should not be quoted: 'ecomm_totalvalue'
Number field should not be quoted: 'dynx_totalvalue'

Code used:

(function(){
 try {
    url_atual = $j('#urlAtual').val();
    alert(url_atual);
  if(url_atual == "catalog"){
   var prodid, totalvalue;
   //page product/category
   totalvalue = $j('#valor_produto').val();
   prodid = $j('#id_produto').val();
   alert(totalvalue);
   alert(prodid);
   dataLayer.push({
    'event': 'fireRemarketingTag',
    google_tag_params: {
      'ecomm_prodid': prodid,
      'ecomm_pagetype': 'product',
      ecomm_totalvalue: totalvalue
    }
   });
  }
  else if (url_atual == "ajax") {
   var prodid, totalvalue;
  //cart
   console.log('entrou carrinho');
   dataLayer.push({
    'event': 'fireRemarketingTag',
    'google_tag_params': {
      'ecomm_prodid': prodid,
      'ecomm_pagetype': 'cart',
      'ecomm_totalvalue': totalvalue
    }
   });
  }
  else if (url_atual == "cms") {
   var prodid, totalvalue;
   //other pages/cms
   dataLayer.push({
    'event': 'fireRemarketingTag',
    'google_tag_params': {
      'ecomm_prodid': prodid,
      'ecomm_pagetype': 'purchase',
      'ecomm_totalvalue': totalvalue
    }
   });
  }
  else {
   dataLayer.push({
    'event': 'fireRemarketingTag',
    'google_tag_params': { }
   });
  }
 }
 catch (err) {}
}) ();

I have already tried setting up data layers but with no success. And after a lot of searching too, I did not find anything that could help me do the same setup on magento. Thanks in advance.

As another solution based on the discussion in the comments you may be want to place something like this in your Minicart template (app/design/frontend/[theme]/[theme]/template/checkout/cart/minicart/items.phtml).

Please note, that this snippet never really got optimized nor revised as it was a quick fix in a particular situation some long time ago.

<!-- REMARKETING -->
<?php $conversionId = "YOUR CONVERSION ID"; // place your conversion id here ?>
<?php 
    $routeName = Mage::app()->getRequest()->getRouteName(); 
    $identifier = Mage::getSingleton('cms/page')->getIdentifier();
    $productReg = Mage::registry('current_product');
    $categoryReg = Mage::registry('current_category');

    $ecomm_category = null;
    $ecomm_prodid = null;

    if(Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getAction()->getFullActionName() === 'checkout_onepage_success'):
        $ecomm_pagetype = 'purchase';
        $orderId = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getLastOrderId();
        $order = Mage::getModel('sales/order')->load($orderId);
        foreach ($order->getAllItems() as $item):
            $itemIds[] = "'".$item->getSku()."'";
        endforeach;
        $ecomm_prodid = "[".implode(",", $itemIds)."]";

    elseif($routeName == 'cms' && $identifier == 'home'):
        $ecomm_pagetype = 'home';
        $ecomm_prodid = null;

    elseif($routeName == 'checkout'):
        $ecomm_pagetype = 'cart';

        $itemIds = array();
        $quote = Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getQuote();
        if($quote->getItemsCount()):
            foreach ($quote->getAllItems() as $item):
                $itemIds[] = "'".$item->getSku()."'";
            endforeach;
        $ecomm_prodid = "[".implode(",", $itemIds)."]";
        else:
            $ecomm_prodid = null;
        endif;

    elseif($routeName == 'catalogsearch'):
        $ecomm_pagetype = 'searchresults';
        $ecomm_prodid = null;

    elseif($routeName == 'catalog'):
        if($categoryReg):
            $ecomm_category = $categoryReg->getName();
        endif;
        if($productReg):
            $ecomm_pagetype = 'product';
            $ecomm_prodid = "'".$productReg->getSku()."'";
        else:
            $ecomm_pagetype = 'category';
            $ecomm_prodid = null;
        endif;

    else:
        $ecomm_pagetype = 'other';

    endif;


    if($ecomm_pagetype == 'purchase'):
        $ecomm_totalvalue = $order->getGrandTotal();
    elseif($ecomm_pagetype == 'cart'):
        $ecomm_totalvalue = Mage::helper('checkout/cart')->getQuote()->getGrandTotal();
        if($ecomm_totalvalue == null):
            $ecomm_totalvalue = 0;
        endif;
    elseif($ecomm_pagetype == 'product'):
        $ecomm_totalvalue = $productReg->getFinalPrice();
    else:
        $ecomm_totalvalue = null;
    endif;
?>

Even if alert(totalvalue); for example would return 100 it most likey is still just a string rather than a number. You can check that by alert(typeof(totalvalue)); // expected result in this case is 'string'.

So you will have to convert that string to a number using something like totalvalue = Number($j('#valor_produto').val()); or 'ecomm_totalvalue': Number(totalvalue). If you now alert(typeof(totalvalue)); you should get prompted number.

So, for example:

(function(){
 try {
    url_atual = $j('#urlAtual').val();
    alert(url_atual);
  if(url_atual == "catalog"){
   var prodid, totalvalue;
   //page product/category
   totalvalue = Number($j('#valor_produto').val()); // forcing type "number" rather than default "string"
   prodid = $j('#id_produto').val();
   alert(totalvalue);
   alert(prodid);
   dataLayer.push({
    'event': 'fireRemarketingTag',
    google_tag_params: {
      'ecomm_prodid': prodid,
      'ecomm_pagetype': 'product',
      'ecomm_totalvalue': totalvalue // added missing quotes
    }
   });
  }
  else if (url_atual == "ajax") {
   var prodid, totalvalue;
  //cart
   console.log('entrou carrinho');
   dataLayer.push({
    'event': 'fireRemarketingTag',
    'google_tag_params': {
      'ecomm_prodid': prodid,
      'ecomm_pagetype': 'cart',
      'ecomm_totalvalue': totalvalue
    }
   });
  }
  else if (url_atual == "cms") {
   var prodid, totalvalue;
   //other pages/cms
   dataLayer.push({
    'event': 'fireRemarketingTag',
    'google_tag_params': {
      'ecomm_prodid': prodid,
      'ecomm_pagetype': 'purchase',
      'ecomm_totalvalue': totalvalue
    }
   });
  }
  else {
   dataLayer.push({
    'event': 'fireRemarketingTag',
    'google_tag_params': { }
   });
  }
 }
 catch (err) {}
}) ();

For easy debugging:

One easy way to test google-snippet integrations is using the Tag Assistant (by Google) Google Chrome extension (Tag Assistant on chrome.google.com).

General tag type definitions for Google Remarketing:

Example for retailers (more types linked in the source):

Custom parameter    Sample values   Definition
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
ecomm_prodid*       1234            The product ID parameter allows your dynamic ads to show people the exact product they viewed on your website.
ecomm_pagetype**    home,           The page type parameter collects which pages people visited on your website.
                    searchresults, 
                    category,       To use automatically created lists, this value must be in English, even if your site is in a different language.
                    product, 
                    cart, purchase, 
                    other
ecomm_totalvalue**  49.99           The total product value parameter is the value of the product. On cart pages with multiple products, total product value is the sum of all items someone has selected.
