Does it work with the Cart and Checkout blocks?

Yes. Cart and checkout events are derived from the cart itself rather than from classic template hooks, and add or remove events come from the block data store, so both front-ends are covered.

Will it conflict with GTM4WP or another GTM plugin?

Only one plugin should inject the container, or every event is counted twice. The plugin detects the conflict and warns you; set container placement to "data layer only" here, or disable the container in the other plugin.

Do I still need a consent banner?

Yes. The plugin publishes the Consent Mode defaults that tell tags how to behave before a choice is made; your banner is still what asks the visitor and sends the update.

Is High-Performance Order Storage supported?

Yes. The plugin declares compatibility with HPOS and with the Cart and Checkout blocks, so WooCommerce will not flag your store as incompatible.

What you get

Everything the WordPress plugin does

Everything the plugin does is a switch on one screen. Nothing is sent anywhere until you enter your container URL.

Container

Loads the GTM web container from your own domain instead of googletagmanager.com, so ad blockers and tracking prevention no longer recognise it. Placement, GTM environments and a custom loader path are all configurable.

Consent

Publishes Google Consent Mode v2 defaults for all seven signals before the container loads: globally, for the EEA and UK, or for a region list you choose. It warns you if your consent banner already sets them.

Data Layer

Pushes page type, post and author details, site search, language and login state on every request, plus hashed customer data for Enhanced Conversions and Customer Match.

Ecommerce

The complete GA4 funnel for WooCommerce, with item brand, variant, the real category hierarchy, discounts and list attribution carried from the listing through to the cart.

Webhooks

Sends purchase, refund and order-paid events straight from your server on a background job, so conversions arrive even when the browser blocks every script. Failures retry with backoff.

Free and open source

GPL-2.0, no account needed to install it, and no upsells in the admin. You only pay for the container that receives the data.

Server-side tracking pour WooCommerce

Switch WooCommerce on and every standard GA4 ecommerce event is tracked, with the item detail Google Ads and Meta need to match products in your catalogue.

Works with the classic templates and the Cart and Checkout blocks: page events come from the cart itself rather than template hooks, and add-to-cart is detected through the WooCommerce data store.

Pourquoi les boutiques WooCommerce ont besoin du server-side tagging

Des achats qui résistent aux ad blockers

Les tags d'achat côté navigateur comptent parmi les requêtes les plus bloquées du web. Un endpoint first-party préserve l'event de revenu.

Déduplication sur l'ID de commande

Les rechargements de la page de remerciement et les callbacks du prestataire de paiement déclenchent purchase plusieurs fois. Un event ID dérivé de la commande les fusionne en une seule conversion.

Cache et consentement prévisibles

Les plugins de cache, de consentement et d'optimisation WordPress décalent le timing des tags. La livraison server-side garde l'état de consentement explicite et testable.

Un event, toutes les destinations

Envoyez le même achat WooCommerce validé vers GA4, Meta CAPI, Google Ads et TikTok sans ajouter un script navigateur de plus.
