Analytics - Feature Guide
Your stores have a built-in analytics feature. This tracks your visitors and gives you reports that show traffic and behaviour.
Visitors and Visits
When a person visits your store, they are known as a "Visitor". They may return to your store multiple times and each one is known as a "Visit".
A single "Visitor" has one or more "Visits".
Analytics Terminology
In your store dashboard and reports, you will see terms that might be unfamiliar:
- Visitor - This is a person visiting your store.
- Visit - Each time a visitor accesses your store, this is known as a Visit. A visit can last a few minutes or a few hours and ends when the visitor has been idle for 30 minutes. Each visit can have multiple actions and clicks.
- Action - An action is anything that a visitor does while visiting your store. This can be visiting a page, clicking an external link, clicking a download, using your contact form etc.
- Click - A visitor may click an affiliate link or another external link in your store. This is known as a "Click".
- Bounce - A bounce is when a visitor views only one page on your store. It means that they found your store, viewed one page, and then left without clicking any link or taking any action.
