WooCommerce
WooCommerce is WordPress plugin that brings eCommerce to your WordPress sites. It's unique in its customizability and flexability. You can use it to sell physical products, digital downloads, memberships, services, and tickets, plus offer customers lots of different ways to pay, including things like Apple Pay and Bitcoin powered by Stripe.
Netlify
Unlike popular client-side analytics solutions, [Netlify Analytics](https://www.netlify.com/products/analytics) runs entirely server-side. This means that it is not impacted by ad blockers or JavaScript support. Every single request is measured. No sampling. So we can offer greater accuracy. Nor can it impact the speed of your site as no potentially impactful third party JavaScript need be included.
Watching the HTTP requests server-side also lets you track 404 errors to give valuable insight into where your visitors might be falling off your happy path. And although [Netlify Analytics](https://www.netlify.com/products/analytics) runs server-side, you needn’t worry about implementing or maintaining software or configuration yourself. We handle all of that for you on our infrastructure.
All you need to do is enable it.
