• User hits you site with tracking parameters: www.yoursite.com?utm_source=abc&utm_medium=def&utm_content=ghi&utm_campaign=jkl&utm_term=mno
• The parameters are saved to session and cookie
• When the customer signes up, the tracking string is saved in customer_entity_varchar table as attribute customer_campaign_params. When the customer places an order, the tracking string is saved in the sales_flat_order table in the order_campaign_params column.

  • Only the paramter utm_source is mandatory, the other paramters can be empty
  • The tracking string then looks like that: utm_source=abc|utm_medium=|utm_content=|utm_campaign=|utm_term=
