Installing Scoby Analytics on WooCommerce

Like all Scoby integrations, this lightweight, client-side integration is carefully designed to prioritize visitor privacy. It fully complies with EU ePrivacy and GDPR regulations, while enabling you to exercise your legitimate interest in understanding how your website is being used.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you have the following ready:

• A Scoby Analytics Workspace
• Your Workspace ID
• Administrator access to your WordPress / WooCommerce site

Installation Guide

You can install the Scoby Analytics snippet on WooCommerce in one of two ways:

• Using the “Code Snippets” plugin (recommended)
• By manually editing your theme’s functions.php file

Using the “Code Snippets” Plugin (Recommended)

• In your WordPress Admin, go to Plugins → Add New and install the Code Snippets plugin if not already installed.

• Navigate to Snippets → Add New.

• Give your snippet a name, for example: Scoby Analytics.

• Copy and paste the following code into the Code field.
  Replace <WORKSPACE_ID> with your actual Workspace ID from Step 1.

<?php
add_action('wp_head', function () {
?>
<script>
(function () {
  const workspaceId = "<WORKSPACE_ID>";

  window.scoby = window.scoby || function () {
    (window.scoby.q = window.scoby.q || []).push(arguments);
  };
  window.scoby('init', { autoLogging: false });

  // Log page views
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
    const url = window.location.href;
    const referrer = document.referrer;
    window.scoby('logPageView', { url, referrer });
  });

  // Log WooCommerce order completions
  document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {
    if (window.location.href.indexOf('/order-received/') !== -1) {
      // Extract order data from WooCommerce thank you page
      const amountEl = document.querySelector('.woocommerce-order-overview__total .woocommerce-Price-amount bdi');
      const currencyEl = document.querySelector('.woocommerce-order-overview__total .woocommerce-Price-currencySymbol');
      if (amountEl) {
        const amount = amountEl.textContent.replace(/[^\d.,]/g, '');
        const currency = currencyEl ? currencyEl.textContent : '';
        const goal = "Purchase";
        window.scoby('logConversion', { goal, amount, currency });
      }
    }
  });

  // Load Scoby script
  const script = document.createElement('script');
  script.src = `https://${workspaceId}.s3y.io`;
  document.head.append(script);
})();
</script>
<?php
});
?>

• Choose “Run snippet everywhere”, then click Save Changes and Activate.

Editing functions.php Directly

If you prefer not to use a plugin, you can paste the same code block (without the <?php ?> wrapper) into your theme’s functions.php file inside a wp_head action. Make sure to place it in a child theme so it’s not overwritten by updates.

Done 🎉
