Is there an alternative to Google Analytics?

I'm interested in getting very basic analytics info from something WAY simpler to use than Google Analytics. Is that even possible for Zazzle stores?

@k8hayes I used statcounter many years ago (the basic version is free).
might be worth revisiting it again: Web Analytics Made Easy - Statcounter

I watched an Etsy designer on YouTube use the Everbee app to access all sorts of analytics. Looked super easy to use and understand. I’m going to check it out for myself.

Statcounter no longer works with Z as of several years ago(not certain of the exact date tho.). Z made the decsion, not Statcounter. I really liked the ease of use of Statcounter for Z, still use it for my website.

How about Everbee? Does it work with Zazzle? Have you tried it?

@Jadendreamer13
Haven't tried Everbee, don't have an Etsy store. I am on Mac,Firefox.
Will keep using Google Analytics for now, with Zazzle. Maybe someone else has used Everbee to pull info from Z, using it with/ or in their Etsy store.

I found this during a quick look in Goggle search:

The question is, can we get into the code somehow? I found a neat one called Plausible, but it requires you to add a line of code in the head section. I used Statcounter with CafePress once. That’s how old I am!

Old thread, I know. But I thought I'd point out that Snuggle Hamster Designs offers some free stats tracking and reporting for you. We can't track what happens on Zazzle's website of course. But we do tell you about your orders, visits on SHD, Google impressions and clicks, link-overs to Zazzle's site, and more.

It's free to set up an account and bring your stores in. And we offer Premium features for paying subscribers. There's too many features to list here. Cheers all.
