No — the Metorik extension is not required to use Metorik with your store. Metorik connects directly to your WooCommerce database. However, installing the Metorik extension in Final unlocks enhanced reporting capabilities by making Final’s additional metadata easier to work with, especially when using multiple Outlets.
While the WooCommerce extension syncs extra metadata from Final (e.g. Outlet ID, employee, station), the Metorik extension lets you assign readable aliases to each Outlet. These aliases are saved in metadata and can be used in Metorik dashboards for better filtering, grouping, and analysis.
You can install the Metorik extension after the WooCommerce extension is fully connected and syncing. It's especially helpful if you operate multiple Outlets and want to analyze your sales, products, and order data by Outlet in Metorik.
At this time, WooCommerce is required to use Metorik. This is because Metorik’s segmenting and analytics tools work specifically by connecting directly to Woo.
