About Google Analytics Modules

This WHMCS addon module that allows the clients to see Google analytics reports through different chart visualizations. The module will allow you to see the data studio that's configured by the admin for a particular client. This module also has the feature regarding Google Analytics 4(GA4). It is a new property designed for the future of measurement. It collects both website and app data to better understand the customer journey. It uses event-based data, instead of session-based. Using GA4, it helps in direct integrations to media platforms and drive actions on your website or app.

Note: On July 1, 2023, standard (UA)Universal Analytics properties will no longer process data. You'll be able to see your Universal Analytics reports for a period of time after July 1, 2023. However, new data will only flow into (GA4)Google Analytics 4 properties.
