Cart abandoned rate:

The percentage of carts created but not progressed to checkout. This rate indicates how often customers add items to their cart but leave before starting the checkout process.


Checkout abandoned rate:

The percentage of checkouts that were initiated but did not result in a completed order. This metric shows how often customers start the checkout process but leave before finishing their purchase.


Behaviour funnel:

The Behavior Funnel tracks the progression of logged-in and unknown customers through key purchase stages.

  1. Total cart
    The total number of carts created.

  2. Cart abandoned
    The number of carts that were abandoned, either in the cart drawer or during checkout.

  3. Cart checkout
    Number of customers who proceeded from the cart to the checkout page.

  4. Cart paid
    The number of carts that successfully completed checkout with payment.

This funnel helps visualize where customers drop off in the journey from adding items to completing an order.


Customer details:

  1. Customer
    Displays the customer’s email address. If no email is available, show "Unknown".

  2. Last seen
    The timestamp of the customer’s last recorded activity (e.g., adding a product to cart, entering checkout).

  3. Abandon type
    Indicates the stage where the customer dropped off:

    • Cart → The customer added products to cart but did not proceed to checkout.

    • Checkout → The customer reached the checkout page but did not complete the purchase.

    • Paid → The customer attempted payment but did not successfully complete the order (e.g., payment failure).

  4. Products
    The list of products that were in the customer’s cart at the time of abandonment.

  5. Cart value
    The total value of all products listed in Products at the time of abandonment.

The product details include all the products that are added to cart, no matter if they are in the abandoned carts or are already paid.

  1. Product

  2. Variant

  3. Checkout started

  5. Abandon value
    The total cart value associated with all abandoned checkouts/abandoned containing this product.

  6. Price
    The unit price of the product (based on the variant selected).

  7. Total quantity
