: Most common routes between subdomains that generate revenue in Google Analytics I need to be able to track revenue from the most frequent routes between multiple hostnames (let's call them foo.domain.tld

There are two logical ways you can do this but, given the wording of your question, it appears as though you want to treat these subdomains as two different entities entirely. The most beneficial way to do this is to set up three different properties, one for foo.domain.tld, one for bar.domain.tld and one for both. In this scenario, you would modify the tracking script to utilize Google Analytics' Linker plugin (API), which will allow you to track across domains and subdomains. For example, set the following on the foo.domain.tld tracking script:

// foo.domain.tld property
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-X', 'auto');
// shared property
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Z', 'auto', { 'allowLinker': true });
ga('require', 'linker');
ga('linker:autoLink', ['bar.domain.tld'] );


Now set the following on the bar.domain.tld tracking script:

// bar.domain.tld property
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Y', 'auto');
// shared property
ga('create', 'UA-XXXXX-Z', 'auto', { 'allowLinker': true });
ga('require', 'linker');
ga('linker:autoLink', ['foo.domain.tld'] );


This setup allows for the passing of data between subdomains and provides specific views for each subdomain, as well as an aggregated view for both. This approach should help you better associate the revenue from bar.domain.tld/purchase-ticket with foo.domain.tld/event.
