Is it possible to send google analytics data to the eCommerce server while performing a checkout?

Answer 2

The Real Time Reporting API enables you to request real time data—for example, real time activity on your property.

However you can extract information such as pages and events, not ecommerce data. Therefore you should make sure to track the checkout funnel so that the information is within an event (with category, action and label). At that point you can use the API I indicated.
