Custom Success Page Tracking

In your custom theme layout.xml file, add the following code to the success page handle.

app/design/frontend///layout/local.xml

    <checkout_onepage_success>
        <reference name="magepal_gtm_datalayer">
            <block type="googletagmanager/order" name="magepal_gtm_block_order" />
        </reference>
    </checkout_onepage_success>

Replace checkout_onepage_success with the success page handle you are using. For example, if you are using the default Magento success page, you would use checkout_onepage_success.
