Go to:
Dashboard → Analytics
Analytics helps you understand what is happening across your store.
Instead of only showing sales, it combines ecommerce performance, visitor behaviour, product engagement, traffic sources and customer activity.
Choose an Analytics Date Range
Use the date selector at the top-right of the Analytics page to change the reporting period.
Available options may include:
- Today
- Last 24 Hours
- This Week
- Last 7 Days
- This Month
- Last 30 Days
- Last 90 Days
Changing the date range updates the analytics shown on the page.
Tip: When comparing performance, use the same date range each time so that you are comparing similar periods.
Ecommerce Performance
At the top of Analytics, you can see your core ecommerce metrics.
Revenue
Shows revenue generated from completed orders during the selected period.
Why it matters
Revenue tells you how much your store generated during the reporting period.
Do not look at Revenue alone. Compare it with traffic, orders and conversion rate to understand what is driving the result.
Orders
Shows the number of orders recorded during the selected period.
Why it matters
Orders help you understand whether traffic is translating into actual purchases.
Conversion Rate
Shows the percentage of visitors who completed a purchase.
Why it matters
Conversion Rate helps you understand how effectively your store turns visitors into customers.
A store can receive strong traffic but still produce weak sales if conversion is low.
AOV
AOV means Average Order Value. It shows the average amount spent for each order.
Why it matters
A higher AOV means customers are spending more per transaction.
You can use this metric to evaluate promotions, bundles, and product combinations.
Cart Abandonment
Shows the proportion of shopping activity where customers added products to their cart but did not complete an order.
Why it matters
High cart abandonment can indicate that shoppers are interested but are not completing checkout.
Possible areas to review include:
- Product information
- Pricing
- Shipping costs
- Payment options
- Checkout confidence
- Overall buying experience
Use this metric as a signal rather than judging it on its own.
Revenue Over Time
The Revenue Over Time chart shows how revenue changes throughout the selected period.
Use it to identify:
- Strong sales periods
- Weeks or days with little or no revenue
- Revenue spikes
- Patterns following campaigns or promotions
This is useful when comparing sales activity against advertising, promotional campaigns or Sale Sessions.
Checkout Funnel
The Checkout Funnel shows how shoppers move through the buying process.
The funnel includes:
Viewed Product → Added to Cart → Completed Order
Viewed Product
Shows how many shoppers viewed products. This is the starting point of the funnel.
Added to Cart
Shows how many shoppers added a product to their cart. The conversion shown here indicates how many product viewers progressed to this stage.
Completed Order
Shows how many shoppers successfully completed their purchase.
How to use the Checkout Funnel
Look for the stage where the largest drop occurs.
For example:
If many visitors view products but few add them to cart, review your:
- Product imagery
- Product descriptions
- Pricing
- Product value proposition
If customers add products to cart but do not complete their order, review:
- Shipping
- Payment options
- Checkout experience
- Unexpected costs
The funnel helps you understand where interest is being lost.
Cohort Retention
The Cohort Retention section groups new visitors by the period when they first visited your store.
It then shows whether visitors from each group returned during later periods.
Why it matters
Retention helps you understand whether shoppers return after their first visit.
A high percentage can indicate repeat interest, but always consider the size of each cohort before drawing conclusions.
Small visitor groups can produce high percentages even when only a few people returned.
Revenue Forecast
The Revenue Forecast provides a projection of future revenue based on available historical store data.
The chart can show:
- Actual revenue
- Forecast revenue
Why it matters
The forecast can help you understand the possible direction of future revenue based on past activity.
Good to know: A store with limited historical data may not have enough information to produce a meaningful forecast. Treat the forecast as an estimate rather than guaranteed future revenue.
Traffic Analytics
Further down the Analytics page, you can see visitor and traffic information.
Pageviews
Shows the total number of pages viewed. One visitor can generate multiple pageviews.
Unique Visitors
Shows the number of individual visitors recorded during the selected period.
Use this together with Pageviews to understand how much browsing activity each visitor generates.
Bounce Rate
Shows the percentage of visits where the visitor leaves without continuing their session further.
Why it matters
Bounce Rate can help indicate whether visitors are finding enough reason to continue browsing.
However, it should always be interpreted alongside metrics such as visit duration and pages per session.
Average Visit Duration
Shows how long visitors spend on your store on average.
Why it matters
Longer visits may indicate deeper browsing, while very short sessions can suggest visitors are leaving quickly.
Use this together with Pages per Session and Bounce Rate.
Pages per Session
Shows the average number of pages viewed during a visit.
Why it matters
This can indicate how deeply visitors explore your store.
Traffic Overview
The Traffic Overview chart displays changes in traffic over the selected date range.
It can include metrics such as:
- Pageviews
- Unique Visitors
- Bounce Rate
Use the chart to identify:
- Traffic spikes
- Quiet periods
- Changes in visitor behaviour
- Periods worth investigating further
Hourly Traffic Distribution
The Hourly Traffic Distribution chart shows when visitors are most active during the day.
How to use it
Look for hours when traffic is consistently stronger.
This information may help you decide when to:
- Publish social media posts
- Send promotional emails
- Run Sale Sessions
- Launch limited-time promotions
Daily Traffic Distribution
The Daily Traffic Distribution chart shows how traffic varies by day of the week.
Use it to identify which days generally receive the most store activity.
This can help you plan campaigns and promotions around periods when your audience is more active.
Product Views
The Product section shows which products receive the most views.
Why it matters
Highly viewed products are attracting shopper attention.
Compare views with cart activity and actual sales to understand whether interest is converting.
A product can receive many views without generating purchases.
Product Cart Interaction
This section shows products that generate cart activity.
The Net Adds figure reflects the overall cart-add activity for a product after considering cart removals.
Why it matters
A product with strong cart activity is showing buying intent, even if the customer does not immediately complete a purchase.
Collections
Analytics can show how much traffic your individual Collections receive. Use this to identify which product groupings are attracting the most interest.
Sale Session Events
This section shows traffic associated with Sale Sessions where data is available. If you have not run a Sale Session during the selected period, no data may appear.
Referrer
The Referrer section shows where visitors came from before reaching your store.
Examples may include:
- Direct or Unknown
- External websites
- Checkout pages
- Other referral sources
Why it matters
Referrer data helps you understand which channels are sending traffic to your store.
Product Engagement
The Product Engagement section ranks products based on shopper engagement.
The score helps you compare how strongly different products are attracting interaction.
How to use it
Products with stronger engagement may be good candidates for:
- Advertising
- Featured placement
- Promotional campaigns
- Bundles
- Sale Sessions
Do not treat engagement alone as sales performance. Compare it with cart activity and revenue.
UTM Tracking
Analytics can report traffic from marketing links using UTM parameters.
Available sections may include:
- UTM Source
- UTM Medium
- UTM Campaign
If your marketing links do not contain UTM parameters, these sections may show no data.
Why it matters
UTM tracking helps you understand which marketing campaigns are driving visits to your store.
Country
Shows the countries associated with visitors to your store.
Use this information to understand where your audience is coming from.
This can be useful when reviewing:
- International demand
- Shipping coverage
- Advertising locations
- Cross-border opportunities
Device, Model and Vendor
Shows the devices visitors use to access your store.
This may include information about:
- Device type
- Manufacturer
- Device model
Why it matters
If most shoppers use mobile devices, reviewing your mobile storefront experience becomes particularly important.
Browser
Shows the web browsers visitors use. Examples may include Chrome, Firefox, Safari and Mobile Safari. This can help identify how customers are accessing your storefront.
Operating System
The OS section shows operating systems used by visitors.
Examples may include:
- macOS
- iOS
- Android
Language
Shows the browser or visitor language recorded during store visits. This can help you understand the languages commonly associated with your audience.
Top Pages
Shows the pages receiving the most views.
These may include:
- Store homepage
- Product pages
- Checkout-related pages
- Order pages
Why it matters
Top Pages helps you see where customer attention is concentrated.
Top Selling Products
The Top Selling section ranks products according to generated revenue.
Use this to identify which products are contributing most strongly to sales.
Compare Top Selling against Product Views.
A highly viewed product is not always a top-selling product.
Search Terms
Where search data is available, this section can show search terms associated with store activity.
If no relevant search data has been recorded, the section may show No data available.

How to Read Your Analytics More Effectively
Avoid judging your store using one metric alone.
Instead, combine metrics to understand what is happening.
High traffic + low product engagement
Visitors are arriving, but your products may not be capturing enough interest. Review your product presentation.
High product views + low add-to-cart activity
Customers are looking but not showing strong purchase intent. Review your product value, descriptions, imagery and pricing.
Strong add-to-cart activity + high cart abandonment
Customers want the products but are not completing checkout. Review your shipping costs, payment methods and checkout experience.
Low traffic + good conversion
Your store is converting the visitors it receives, but you may need to attract more qualified traffic.
High traffic + good conversion
This is generally a stronger signal because traffic and purchasing behaviour are working together.
