This was built using the Wizards Toolkit, a low-code development library built on PHP, SQL, Javascript and MaterializeCSS.

The finished product includes dynamic charting to display referer domains, browser types, operating systems and more using pie, bar, line and area charts.

For ecommerce, PayPal was used utilizing their latest JavaScript API.
