What the connector does for you
All plugins at a glance
Under Administration › Feinwerk Plugins › Discover you find all of Feinwerk's Plugins for Matomo with description, screenshots and prices.
Browse without an account
Even before you connect, Show Feinwerk plugins lists all plugins with description and price, without sending a token or data about your instance.
Install in one click
The connector downloads the plugin, verifies the file by its SHA-256 checksum and installs it into your Matomo.
Updates in one click, automatically if you like
Only versions that fit your Matomo and PHP version are offered. An update that changes the database is never installed on its own.

Tasks in one place
Updates, expiring licences and everything that needs you are listed under Tasks, each with the matching button.

Your data
Before you connect your Matomo, the connector sends nothing about your instance. If you look at the plugins first, it only fetches the public list, without a token. After you connect, it only exchanges what it needs for updates and licences with plugins.feinwerk.io, such as your instance's token, the Matomo and plugin versions and your licence status. The connector does not send your visitors' data. The details are in the privacy policy.
