Google Analytic Goals & E-Commerce amounts

Is it possible to send values to Google Analytics, so that when a transaction is completed that purchase value can be sent to Google for it to record.

I have a feeling you could do this and now you cannot? Searching on Google Analytics on the matter finds results, but when following the links for those results I get a 'Not found' error. Suggesting they have been removed.

Thanks
Jake

Thanks.

I am having trouble making sense of the instructions Google gives.

By 'receipt' I assume they mean, the page you get when the transaction is complete?

They mention 'the form', whats this? The payment form? You'd assume so, but why put the Javascript function on that payment form page if the Google form is on the 'receipt' form?

Hi again

I have this working, just one question, because your sending Google the order id, does that mean it will make sure its only counted once? So it wont matter if the user manages to load the tracking code several times?
