NextRise Analytics

NextRise Analytics is an ecommerce analytics service that turns your store's numbers into specific, priced suggestions for growing revenue. This plugin is the WordPress connector for it, and works with WooCommerce and Welcart. On a site with neither, it installs the tracking tag only. There is nothing to configure. You install the plugin, press Connect to NextRise, press Allow on the page that opens, and two things start at once:

• The tracking tag is installed for you (you never edit your theme).
• Orders — amount, products, quantities — are sent as they are placed.

Why orders have to be sent That a purchase happened can be worked out from the URL of your order-received page. How much it was for is not in the URL, so a tracking tag on its own leaves revenue at zero. This plugin sends the amount from your store the moment an order is placed, so revenue, average order value and per-product analysis work from the first day. Refunded and cancelled orders are withdrawn automatically. Partial refunds update the order to the remaining amount. You need a NextRise Analytics account The plugin is a connector for an external service and does nothing on its own. A free 7-day trial is available at https://nextriseanalytics.com — no credit card required.

1. Activate the plugin.
2. Open NextRise Analytics. It appears under WooCommerce on a WooCommerce store, under Welcart Shop on a Welcart store, and under Settings on a site with neither.
3. Press Connect to NextRise, then press Allow on the page that opens.

If your server cannot reach the internet from the admin screen, you can connect from the command line instead: wp nextrise_pair <connection code>.

1.6.2

• The order reference on the thank-you page is now printed through WordPress's inline script functions instead of a hand-written script tag. No change to what is measured or sent.

1.6.1

• The tracking script is now registered through WordPress rather than printed directly, so it behaves like any other enqueued script.
• Internal code quality fixes reported by Plugin Check. No change to what is measured or sent.

1.6.0

• Welcart is now supported. Orders are sent as they are placed, and past orders are imported when you connect, exactly as on WooCommerce.
• The settings page now appears under Welcart Shop (or under Settings on a site with no cart) instead of only under WooCommerce, where it could not be opened.
• Welcart revenue follows Welcart's own totals: cancelled and estimate orders are excluded, everything else is counted.
• Product views are now sent from Welcart product pages, so per-product conversion rates work on Welcart as they do on WooCommerce.

1.5.3

• The plugin now reports its own version and your store's order count, so the app can show whether any orders failed to arrive.

1.5.2

• Orders are now sent immediately and only queued if that fails. On stores where scheduled tasks do not run, orders no longer sit in the queue forever.
• Importing past orders is spaced out to keep memory use low on large stores.
• Disconnecting now cancels any imports still scheduled.

1.5.1

• Connecting and sending orders now retry after a temporary network error.
• Failed orders are retried later, up to three times. Previously a single failure meant the order never arrived.
• Errors from an earlier attempt no longer stay on screen after reconnecting.
• Added wp nextrise_pair <code> for servers that cannot connect from the admin screen.

1.5.0

• Order attribution (WooCommerce's own referrer, campaign and device data) is sent with each order, so revenue by traffic source comes from orders rather than from tracking.
• Only the type, campaign parameters and device are stored. The full referrer URL is not.

1.4.1

• Fixed refund records being sent as orders, which stopped an import part-way through and took the rest of the batch with it.
• After updating, run the import again for all time.

1.4.0

• Product views are now sent from product pages, so per-product view counts no longer depend on imported history.
• Line items are sent per parent product, matching how views are counted. Per-variation breakdowns no longer appear in the product table.
• After updating, run the import again for all time.

1.3.0

• Line-item revenue is now sent excluding tax, matching Shopify, WooCommerce Analytics and Google Analytics 4. Tax and shipping are sent separately, with refunds deducted.
• After updating, run the import again for all time. Orders already sent still include tax.

1.2.0

• Order total, tax and shipping are sent, so the app can break the total down.

1.1.0

• Past orders can be imported again at any time (90 days / 12 months / 24 months / all time).
• Fixed imports stopping silently at 500 orders.
• The settings screen shows how many orders were imported and when.

1.0.0

• First release. Automatic tag installation, order sending, refunds and partial refunds.
