Prestashop Google analytics not working

If the Prestashop Google analytics integration is not working, make sure that the Google Analytics account has been properly setup, and that a view has been created for the right website on the same URL as the one of the Prestashop website to analyze.

Also, make sure that the Google Analytics handle that has been given to the Prestashop Google Analytics module is correct, as a single character difference is enough to prevent the plugin from working correctly.
