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 🙂
<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!

This plugin requires <a href="https://wordpress.org/plugins/easy-digital-downloads/" rel="ugc">Easy Digital Downloads</a>.
If you’ve created a custom landing page or purchase funnel, hide the default product page of an Easy Digital Downloads product from users, and redirect them to your funnel. This allows you to optimize your purchase funnel and increase revenue.
EDD Hide Download allows you to: 
1. Hide a download so it doesn’t appear on the custom post type archive page, anywhere where the [downloads] shortcode is being used, or any custom query on a page template 
1. Prevent direct access to the download product page. The browser will redirect the user to the site’s homepage. 
1. Do a combination of hiding the download and preventing direct access to it
This plugin is extremely useful in the following situations:
<ol>
<li>You’ve created a product landing page and inserted a buy now button to your product. Since the landing page contains all the required product information, you can hide the product on the rest of your site and even prevent direct access to it.</li>
<li>You’ve added a product (eg support package) that shouldn’t sit with your other products you have listed. In this case we can simply hide it from appearing with the other products and insert it where we’d like it to appear using the shortcode.</li>
</ol>
Filter example
Example filter of how you can change the redirect based on the download ID. Copy this function to your child theme’s functions.php or custom plugin
<pre><code>function sumobi_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect( $url ) {
 // download has ID of 17
 if ( '17' == get_the_ID() ) {
 $url = 'http://easydigitaldownloads.com'; // redirect user to another external URL
 }

 // download has ID of 15
 if( '15' == get_the_ID() ) {
 $url = get_permalink( '8' ); // redirect to another download which has an ID of 8
 }

 // return our new URL
 return $url;
}
add_filter( 'edd_hide_download_redirect', 'sumobi_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect' );
</code></pre>
Example filter of how you can globally change the redirect. Copy this function to your child theme’s functions.php or custom plugin
<pre><code>function sumobi_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect_url( $url ) {
 $url = get_permalink( '8' ); // redirect to another download, post or page

 return $url;
}
add_filter( 'edd_hide_download_redirect', 'sumobi_custom_edd_hide_download_redirect' );
</code></pre>
