Kissmetrics

Description

The official Kissmetrics plugin makes integrating Kissmetrics into your WordPress blog, website, or store effortless. Paste your API key once and the plugin installs your tracking code and captures a rich set of behavioral events with minimal configuration.

Easily track:

• Homepage, post, and page views (with title, categories, and tags)
• Sign in and registration events
• Link clicks in posts, pages, and comments
• Search queries
• Comment submissions
• Social interactions (Facebook, Twitter)
• WooCommerce purchases — revenue, items, currency, and order ID

Automatically identify:

• Authenticated users by username
• WooCommerce buyers by billing email
• Unregistered commenters by email address

All tracking is opt-in per event type from a single settings screen.

External services

This plugin connects to Kissmetrics, a third-party analytics service, to record how visitors interact with your site. This is the core purpose of the plugin and it is only active once you enter your Kissmetrics API key.

What it does and the data it sends:

• Loads the Kissmetrics JavaScript library from https://i.kissmetrics.io/i.js and https://scripts.kissmetrics.io/<your-api-key>.2.js on your site’s front end. These scripts run in the visitor’s browser and transmit event data to Kissmetrics.
• Sends behavioral events to Kissmetrics as visitors browse — for example page and post views, searches, link clicks, sign-ups, log-ins, comments, and (if WooCommerce tracking is enabled) completed purchases including order total, currency, item names, and order ID.
• Sends identifying data when available — the username of a logged-in user, the billing email of a WooCommerce buyer, or the email address a commenter enters — so that activity can be attributed to a person in Kissmetrics.

Data is sent only for the event types you enable on the plugin’s settings screen, and only after you configure an API key. No data is sent to Kissmetrics before then.

Kissmetrics is provided by KISSmetrics. By using this plugin you send visitor data to Kissmetrics, so please review their policies and ensure your own site’s privacy notice reflects this:
