Shopping Behavior Analysis

The Shopping Behavior Analysis report lets you see the number of sessions that included each stage of your purchase funnel, how many sessions continued from one step to the next, and how many abandoned the funnel at each stage. Where the funnel indicates abandonment (a red arrow at the bottom of a step), those users did not complete any additional steps of the funnel during the same session. Users can reenter the funnel at any stage (indicated by the separate blue bar at the top of a step); for example, if a user added something to the cart during one session, and then came back to complete the purchase in a subsequent session, the funnel visualization would count the user as reentering at the Checkout step.

You can evaluate your users’ shopping experience from product impression to transaction.

Analytics determines the funnel steps based on your tagging. Learn more about tagging your shopping funnel.

Use the funnel visualization to identify strengths and weaknesses in your purchase funnel. See Evaluate purchase-funnel performance for analysis examples.

In addition to being able to visualize the number of sessions that moved through the funnel, you can use the visualization to create segments of your sessions; for example, the number of sessions that included product views, or the number of sessions that abandoned the funnel at checkout. Simply click a funnel step or abandonment arrow to create a segment. Learn more about creating segments from your funnel.

In addition to the funnel, the table lets you evaluate a number of dimensions and metrics in the context of sessions in general or sessions during which users abandoned the purchase funnel.

Checkout Behavior Analysis

The Checkout Behavior Analysis report lets you see how successfully your users moved through your checkout process. The checkout-funnel visualization illustrates how many users moved on from one step to the next, how many abandoned the process at each step, and how many entered the process at each step..

Analytics determines the funnel steps based on your tagging. Learn more about tagging your checkout funnel.

Use the funnel visualization to identify strengths and weaknesses in your checkout funnel. See Checkout-funnel performance for analysis examples.

In addition to being able to visualize the number of sessions that moved through the funnel, you can use the visualization to create segments of those sessions; for example, sessions that included Step 1, sessions that included user transitions from Step 1 to Step 2, the sessions that abandoned the funnel at the final step, or the sessions that entered the funnel at the final step. Simply click a funnel step, transition, abandonment arrow, or the entrance at a given step (the topmost bar in a step) to create a segment. Learn more about creating segments from your funnel.

In addition to the funnel, the table lets you evaluate a number of dimensions and metrics in the context of sessions in general or sessions during which users abandoned the checkout funnel.

Shopping Behavior and Check Behavior funnels

This section explains how the Shopping Behavior and Checkout Behavior reports handle users looping back through pages in a funnel, users skipping pages in a funnel, and users not following the sequence of the funnel.

The examples use a three-page funnel: Page A > Page B > Page C

Looping back

Page A > Page B > Page C > Page B > Page C

The user looped back from Page C to Page B, continued through the sequence of the funnel, and consequently opened Pages B and C multiple times.

The reports show the user moving through the funnel from start to finish since the user didn't skip any pages during that single session.

A user is counted only once for each page because the funnel is illustrating the number of sessions during which each page was opened.

Skipping pages

Page A > Page C

The user never opened Page B.

The report shows that the user skipped Page B.

Not following the funnel sequence

Page B > Page A > Page C

The reports show the user moving through the funnel from start to finish because the user opened all 3 pages during a single session. It doesn't matter in which order the user opened the pages.

Product Performance

Search-and-replace filters are not supported for either standard or custom product-level dimensions.

The Product Performance report lets you see how your products performed from two different points of view:

  • Summary: Product performance in terms of revenue, price, and quantity. Includes two of the Shopping Behavior metrics.
  • Shopping Behavior: Product performance in terms of user engagement with your products (e.g., viewing products and details, adding and removing products from carts, completing checkouts).

The Summary view includes the following metrics:

  • Sales Performance
    • Product Revenue (revenue from individual product sales)
    • Unique Purchases
    • Quantity (number of units sold)
    • Average Price (average revenue per product)
    • Average Quantity
    • Product Refund Amount (amount returned to users as refunds)
  • Shopping Behavior
    • Cart-to-Detail Rate (number of products added per number of product-detail views)
    • Buy-to-Detail Rate (number of products purchased per number of product-detail views)

The Shopping Behavior view includes the following metrics:

  • Sales Performance
    • Product List Views
    • Product Detail Views

Sales Performance

The Sales Performance report lets you evaluate sales by either of two primary dimensions:

  • Transaction (date, time, transaction ID)
  • Date (cumulative transaction data by date)

The Sales Performance report includes the following metrics:

  • Revenue (total revenue from ecommerce transactions; depending on your implementation, this can include tax and shipping)
  • Tax (total tax charges for ecommerce transactions)
  • Shipping (total shipping charges for ecommerce transactions)
  • Refund Amount (Currency amount refunded for a transaction)

Product List Performance

Product Lists represent a logical grouping of products on your site, based on your ec.js tagging. You can use them to represent:

  • Catalog pages
  • Cross-sell blocks
  • Up-sell blocks
  • Related-products blocks
  • Search results pages

The Product List Performance report lets you see how the Product Lists on your site performed based on the following metrics:

  • Product List Views (number of times users viewed products when they appeared in the product list)
  • Product List Clicks (number of times users clicked products when they appeared in the product list)
  • Product List CTR (the rate at which users clicked the product list to view products (number of clicks divided by the number of times the list appeared)

Internal Promotion

Internal Promotion reporting and attribution to Internal Promotion Clicks and Views are only compatible with the Enhanced Ecommerce library and hit types.

Internal promotions include things like banners that you display on one section of your site to advertise another section of your site.

The Internal Promotion report lets you see how your internal promotions performed in terms of the following metrics:

  • Internal Promotion Views (number of times users viewed internal promotions)
  • Internal Promotion Clicks (number of times users clicked internal promotions)
  • Internal Promotion CTR (the rate at which users click internal promotions (views/clicks))

Internal Promotion Name is the primary dimension.

Use the graph to compare two of the Ecommerce metrics across the date range you’re using.

How transactions are attributed

The Internal Promotion report attributes transactions to either an internal-promotion click or internal-promotion view.

Each hit in an ecommerce session can have:

  • 0 or 1 internal-promotion clicks
  • 0 or more internal-promotion views

Internal-promotion click attribution

If a hit includes a single internal-promotion click, then that internal-promotion is credited for the transaction.

If a session includes multiple internal-promotion clicks, then the last-clicked internal-promotion is credited for the transaction.

If a hit includes zero internal-promotions clicks but one of that user’s previous hits does include an internal-promotion click, then the internal promotion from the previous click is credited for the transaction.

Internal-promotion view attribution

If none of the conditions above is true but a hit includes one or more internal-promotion views, then the transaction is credited to all promotional views within the session.

Order Coupon

The Order Coupon report lets you see how your order-level coupons performed in terms of the following metrics:

  • Revenue (total revenue from ecommerce transactions; depending on your implementation, this can include tax and shipping)
  • Transactions (total number of completed purchases on your site)
  • Average Value (average value of ecommerce transactions)

Order Coupon Code is the primary dimension.

Use the graph to compare two of the Ecommerce metrics across the date range you’re using.

Product Coupon

  • Revenue (total revenue from ecommerce transactions; depending on your implementation, this can include tax and shipping)
  • Unique Purchases (total number of times a specified product (or set of products) was a part of a transaction)
  • Product Revenue per Purchase (average product revenue per purchase)

Product Coupon Code is the primary dimension.
