Once you have installed the analytics integration framework, you must connect to your data supplier. This page describes how to connect to a Matomo data supplier.

You must have an appropriate account and credentials to connect to Matomo.

Licensing

The associated framework is included with your DX Core license and is free of charge. However, this extension is paid and requires an additional special license.
