Metrics¶

1. Transaction Revenue : this is not leveraged in any parts of our applications, as we rely on the more accurate revenue we get from either your daily data feeds, or our webtag. The only reason we pull this information is to generate a report that will technically allow us to extract the rest of the information from the Google Analytics API.
