How do I loop through products when tracking orders with Google Analytics Ecommerce?

I have a web shop for which I want to track orders. I have successfully set up Google Analytics and pulled test data when orders are finalized, so I get information about the transaction and about the product ordered.



Naturally, I want to pull data from several products in an order, and here is where my problem arises. Whenever I insert a loop I get a template error:




Too many characters in character literal




The script I am using is this:






<script>
ga('require', 'ecommerce');

ga('ecommerce:addTransaction', {
'id': '@GetString("Ecom:Order.ID")',
'affiliation': 'Online Store',
'revenue': '@GetDouble("Ecom:Order.Price.PriceWithVAT")',
'shipping': '@GetDouble("Ecom:Order.ShippingFee.Price")',
'tax': '@GetDouble("Ecom:Order.Price.VAT")'
});

@foreach(LoopItem orderline in GetLoop("OrderLines")) {
ga('ecommerce:addItem', {
'id': '@orderline.GetString("Ecom:Product.ID")',
'name': '@orderline.GetString("Ecom:Order:OrderLine.ProductName")',
'price': '@orderline.GetDouble("Ecom:Order:OrderLine.UnitPrice.Price")',
'quantity': '@orderline.GetString("Ecom:Order:OrderLine.Quantity")'
});
}
ga('ecommerce:send');
</script>





Is there something wrong in the way I use this script? It seems like there is only an error when I try to loop through products.
