<p>Send the Easy Digital Downloads events to Google Analytics (GA4). I tried a few plugins in the past to do this, but it never really worked for me, so I decided to work on my own. It works perfectly in my case but you might encounter issues with your setup; in this case, let’s make it better together 🙂</p>
<h3>Events</h3>
<ul>
<li>It currently supports ‘view_item’, ‘add_to_cart’, ‘removed_from_cart’, ‘begin_checkout’ and ‘purchase’.</li>
<li>The ‘view_item’ event is fired when the different options of prices are being displayed (only once per visitor/session and per download). I prevent the plugin from sending the ‘view_item’ event more than once per download, even though the page is reloaded.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Important Remarks</h3>
<ul>
<li>In my case, with EDD, the ‘add_to_cart’ and ‘begin_checkout’ happen at the same time, because I don’t use Add To Cart, but directly a Purchase button. I haven’t tested this plugin with Add To Cart.</li>
<li>My implementation is based on my usage and therefore open to ideas, so don’t hesitate to reach me!</li>
</ul>


eCommerce Analytics for Easy Digital Downloads

Sorry to submit my own rating, but this kind of plugin is not used by so many users, and I doubt it will have many downloads.

I made this for myself, it works perfectly, and I would be happy if you could try it too.

It any issue, it would be also great if we could debug together, and make it even better.

That said, in all my cases, it's working perfectly! I am using it with Meow Analytics (to insert the GA4 code), and the latest versions of EDD and all the related plugins (as August 2022).

Simply, eCommerce Analytics for EDD!
