How it works

↑ Back to top

Automatically track:

e-commerce events – view product, add to cart, checkout, payment
customer activity – registration, logging in, viewing my account
site events – view page, comment, view blog post

No coding necessary. No changes to JavaScript / CSS or theme files. No touching PHP or HTML.

WooCommerce Segment.io Connector integrates with Segment.io (https://segment.com/) – an analytics aggregation and relay service. Segment.io lets you send your analytics data to any service you want, without you having to integrate with each one individually.

Segment.io lets you send your analytics data to:
AdRoll, BitDeli, BugHeard, bugsnag, Chartbeat, ClickTale, Clicky, Comscore, Countly, Crazyegg, Crtittercism, Customer.io, Errorception, Flurry, Foxmetricks, Guages, Google Analytics, GoSquared, Heap, Help Scout, HitTail, HubSpot, Improvely, Intercom, Keen.io, KISSmetrics, Klaviyo, Librato, LiveChat, Localytics, Lytics, Marketo, Mixpanel, Olark, Ominture, Optimizely, Outbound, Pardot, Perfect Audience, Pingdom, Preact, Qualaroo, Quantcast, Salesforce, Sentry, SnapEngage, Totango, USERcycle, Userfox, UserVoice, Vero, Visual Website Optimizer, Woopra, Webhooks, without having to integrate with each and everyone, saving you a ton of time.

Segment.io stores your analytics data for later use. So if you want to switch between these services, you can do that by clicking a button. No changes required on your website. No manual imports. No loss of data!!

How to track events from third party plugin?

For tracking any event you need four details:
Event name (required)
Event data (optional)
User ID (optional)
User’s data (optional)

Once you have these, you can use following code in any php file of that third party plugin.

<?php
$event_name = 'sample event';
$event_data = array( 'title' => 'product title' );
$user_id = 5;
$user_data = array( 'dob' => '01-01-1990' );

do_action( 'woocommerce_segmentio_connector_log_activity', $event_name, $event_data, $user_id, $user_data );
?>
