Install guide

Zen Cart setup

1

Copy the tracking code

Open your Hitsteps site settings and copy the full tracking code, not only the API key.

2

Open the footer template

Find the active template footer, usually includes/templates/custom/common/tpl_footer.php.

3

Paste before closing body

Paste the Hitsteps tracking code near the end of the template, before the closing body tag when available.

4

Save and upload

Upload the edited file, clear any template cache, and visit the store to verify traffic.

Good to know

  • Keep a backup of tpl_footer.php before editing.
  • If your theme uses a different folder name, use that active template folder instead of custom.
