How to Measure Conversion Using Enhanced Ecommerce Google Analytics Plugin
To measure conversion, you can choose to install the official WooCommerce Google Analytics plugin. However, this is not advisable because there are many users who have installed this plugin have reported issues with inaccurate data reporting. In fact, we have found out that the plugin has a poor review rating of 2.9 out of 5 star rating.
So what options do you have?
The answer is that you can choose 2 different plugins to track your online store conversions. You can utilize Google Analytics eCommerce feature, which is what we are going to show in this tutorial (also a bit advanced). The other plugin will simply use the manual conversion code.
