Feder and WooCommerce: keep WooCommerce, check its numbers.
No, Feder is not a replacement for WooCommerce. Keep WooCommerce. Feder sits beside it and checks whether the numbers it shows can be trusted, by reading what happened at the source and comparing it with your own history.
Why would I need this?
Because the question is not what the number is. It is whether you can trust it.
Is Feder an alternative to WooCommerce?
No. WooCommerce is the open source commerce platform for WordPress that gives a business full control of its checkout, its data and its costs. Feder does a different job: it watches the numbers your tools record and says when one cannot be trusted. Nothing here asks you to switch.
Do I need Feder if I have WooCommerce?
They do different jobs, so one does not stand in for the other. Keep WooCommerce for the job it does. Feder's job is to say when a number your tools record has gone quiet or moved outside your own history.
What does WooCommerce do better?
WooCommerce's Revenue report shows how a store's sales, returns, discounts, taxes and shipping add up to its total revenue.
In WooCommerce's words:
The Revenue report shows how your store’s sales, returns, discounts, taxes, and shipping charges contribute to total revenue.

What can go wrong with WooCommerce's numbers?
WooCommerce keeps its Analytics figures in a cache that it updates regularly, to protect store speed, so reports can briefly differ from the latest orders.
In WooCommerce's words:
To avoid potential performance issues the data is cached in a usable format and regularly updated.

The default date type is “Date Paid.”

How does Feder work with WooCommerce?
- Feder reads revenue and paid orders from WooCommerce. Revenue feeds the Money signal and paid orders feed Wins.
- On a day with more than 100 paid orders, the count reads at least 100.
- A day WooCommerce did not report shows as Not read. It is never shown as zero.
- Feder only reads. It never changes anything in WooCommerce.
What should I ask about my WooCommerce setup?
- Which numbers on my dashboard are counted at the source, and which are modeled or estimated?
- If this number stopped counting tomorrow, who would notice, and when?
- What does a normal week look like for this number, in my own history?
