PrestaShop analytics
Cookieless analytics for PrestaShop, the official module.
MetriXs for PrestaShop is the official analytics module from MetriXs. Install it, connect it to your MetriXs account, and get visitors, pageviews, sources, geography, and devices in one clean dashboard, plus revenue, average order value, and top products from your orders. No cookies, no consent banner, GDPR compliant by design, hosted in the EU. Tracking is opt-in and off until you turn it on.
Why PrestaShop shops choose cookieless analytics
Analytics on a PrestaShop shop usually means a Google Analytics setup and a cookie banner standing between your visitors and your products. Google Analytics sets cookies, so in the EU it needs valid consent before it may load. That means a banner, a consent platform, and a share of shoppers who click "reject all" and never show up in your numbers.
MetriXs takes a different approach. It sets no cookies and stores no personal data or persistent identifiers, so no consent banner is required under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR cookie rules. Your visitors browse your products without a pop-up, and your stats stay complete.
What the module does
MX Cookieless Analytics is the official MetriXs module for PrestaShop, open source on GitHub. After a two-minute setup it adds the MetriXs tracker to every page of your shop and verifies your shop automatically.
Tracking is strictly opt-in. Installing the module loads nothing and sends nothing: the tracker only starts after you paste your site API key, save the settings, and enable tracking. You can pause it at any time with one click.
Inside the module you can exclude logged-in customers, so your own test orders and account visits never pollute your stats.

Why MetriXs fits PrestaShop shops
No cookie banner, ever
No cookies means no consent banner, no consent management platform, and no "reject all" losses in your data. The module is GDPR friendly by architecture, not by configuration.
Server-side order tracking included
Every validated order is sent from your server the moment it is created, so redirect-based payment methods such as iDEAL and Carte Bancaire are captured. Revenue, average order value, conversion rate, funnel, and top products appear in your dashboard.
Light and cache friendly
The tracker is a single small script loaded from app.metrixs.eu with defer, so page caching and CDN setups do not break it. Your shop stays fast.
How to set up MetriXs on PrestaShop
From module install to live dashboard takes about five minutes. No theme files, no consent banner.
01
Create your MetriXs account
Sign up at app.metrixs.eu and add your shop. The free plan covers 5k pageviews/mo, no credit card.
02
Install the module
Download the module ZIP from the GitHub releases page and upload it in your back office under Modules → Module Manager. Nothing is loaded or sent yet.
03
Connect and verify
Paste your site API key (Settings → Sites → API keys) into the module settings and save. Verification is automatic. Turn on Enable tracking.
04
Place a test order
Order tracking is already active: every validated order lands as an order_completed event with total, currency, items, and discount code. Flip the Commerce toggle in the dashboard to see revenue, AOV, funnel, and top products.
What about other PrestaShop analytics modules?
The usual PrestaShop analytics setup pipes your shop data into Google Analytics through a third-party module, which brings the cookie banner and consent platform back with it. MX Cookieless Analytics is the official hosted option with the least overhead: cookieless by design, verified automatically, with server-side order tracking built in and all data in the EU.

- Is the MetriXs PrestaShop module free?
- Yes, the module is free and open source. MetriXs the service has a free-forever plan (1 website, 5k pageviews/month, 1 month retention) with no credit card. Paid plans with longer retention, more sites, and team features start at €6/month.
- Do I still need a cookie banner?
- No. MetriXs sets no cookies and stores no personal data or persistent identifiers, so no consent is required under the ePrivacy Directive and GDPR cookie rules. If you remove Google Analytics and other cookie-setting scripts, the banner can go entirely.
- Does the module track visitors by default?
- No, and that is deliberate. Installing the module loads nothing and sends nothing. Tracking starts only after you paste your API key, the shop is verified, and you enable tracking in the settings. You can pause it any time with one click.
- How does order tracking work?
- Every validated order is sent server-side the moment it is created, independent of the payment flow. That means redirect-based payment methods (iDEAL, Carte Bancaire, bank transfer) are captured reliably. The event carries the paid total, currency, line items, and the cart-rule discount code, and your dashboard shows revenue, average order value, conversion rate, a funnel, and top products.
- Does it work with full-page caching?
- Yes. The tracker is a single small script served from app.metrixs.eu and loaded with defer, so full-page caching, CDNs, and optimization setups do not interfere with it.
