Transaction Object
- Updated on 09 Feb 2024
- 3 Minutes to read
Transaction Object includes information of the completed purchase. It should be implemented only on the Confirmation (Success) page.
What are the prerequisites?
- Insider tag must be implemented.
- Insider object must be defined before the Insider tag. Otherwise Insider tag cannot read any information from the Insider object.
What are the properties?
The Transaction object has the following properties.

What are the things to keep in mind?
When integrating the object, the following factors should be considered.
- The page should return Confirmation as the type after running window.insider_object.page.type on the browser console.
- window.insider_object.transaction should return the correct purchased products.
- window.insider_object.transaction.total should return the correct total order amount.
- window.insider_object.transaction.currency should return the correct currency.
- If there is also a page object on the page, the transaction object and the page object should both be nested on the same level under the insider_object.
- If there are multiple purchased products, each product should have their own separate product object.

In addition to the properties defined in the table above, you can add custom properties to any object. Such properties should be added under the custom object as in the example above.
How can I monitor if it works correctly?
Once you deploy your integration, you can test it via different methods.
Insider Object Integration Wizard
This wizard helps you complete your integration and test it afterwards. If you have already implemented the integration, you can use the wizard only to test it as well. See more on the Insider Object Integration Wizard.
Browser Test
To test the Transaction object on your website:
- Make a test purchase on your website to go to the Confirmation page.
- Right click on your website to inspect the page.
- Go to Developer Console.
- Run insider_object or insider_object.transaction to see your object.
- Make sure that it follows the criteria stated in the properties.
