If you get enough ideas about your audience and about your top-performing products, you can put some extra efforts to take them to the next level. Tracking sales and audience behavior are very easy for Easy Digital Downloads using Analytify.
Since 2014 Google has introduced a new feature for the Analytics Enhanced Ecommerce Tracking. It helps you to find the top-performing products, it tracks sales, and tells the behavior of your customers. You can take advantage of this feature on your Easy Digital Store.
Why Is It Necessary To Enable The Easy Digital Downloads?
You can track the basic sales and reports inside the Easy Digital Downloads plugin. But these reports are really basic and they don’t give any idea about customer behavior and what's going on in the store. For advanced tracking, you will need to use the Google Analytics Enhanced Ecommerce feature. You can either view the reports inside the Google Analytics account or you can use the Analytify.
You will be able to track the following things using the Enhanced Ecommerce feature.
- Shopping Behavior
- Checkout Behavior
- Product Performance
- Sales Performance

After creating the funnel click on the save button and you are all set to track your Easy Digital Downloads reporting. You can either see the reports inside the Google Analytics account or you can see the details inside the WordPress dashboard in a more advanced and easy way.
