Reviews
what people actually sayGoogle Analytics for WooCommerce has a responsive support team that users appreciate, but the plugin has developed a serious reputation for breaking after major version updates — particularly around GA4 tracking reliability, consent/cookie compatibility, and data accuracy.
What people like
- +Support team is responsive and helpful in resolving issues×5
- +Plugin worked reliably for users over extended periods before recent major updates×2
Common complaints
- −Plugin stopped working or recording data correctly after major version updates, with multiple users rolling back to older versions (since 2.0.0)×7
- −No support for cookie consent / consent management platforms, causing tracking to break entirely in regions requiring consent before tracking×3
- −Purchase events not recorded in GA4 while other events (e.g. add to cart) continue to fire×2
- −Critical data corruption bug: purchase event values inflated hundredfold due to a formatting error, with no way to delete the corrupted data from GA4 (since 2.0.0)
- −Causes significant JavaScript performance issues and unattributable traffic
- −Installing the plugin broke GA4 tracking entirely on affected sites, and the damage persisted even after uninstalling — requiring a full GA4 property rebuild
- −Plugin broke page content loading (primarily images) on some sites
- −Support deflects bug reports by blaming third-party plugin conflicts rather than investigating the core issue×2
- −Missing basic enhanced ecommerce journey events, making funnel tracking incomplete
