The module adds Google Analytics Server Side Integration.
By default, Magento sends order information to Google Analytics using javascript on the checkout success page. Modern browsers introduce a cookie policy, which causes additional problems like redirection to an empty cart instead of the success page. As a result, we can’t track all orders. Reports in Google Analytics are incomplete.
To avoid situations like that, we can send order information using API. This operation is asynchronous, so it won’t cause any problems with checkout.
The module is not compatible with GA4
