Common Metrics

For the definitions of common metrics in Traffic Acquisition reports, refer to Traffic acquisition. The metrics related to product traffic conversion and searched words are described below.

 


 

Viewing Action Reports

  1. In the SHOPLINE admin, go to Analytics > Reports.
  2. In the actions area, select a report to view.

 

By Date Range

The By Date Range report tracks user behavior within a selected time period, showing sessions where users visited your store, added items to their cart, reached checkout, and completed purchases. In the line chart, you can select any metric from the dropdown menu or click Add metrics to compare different trends.

Additionally, you can review data separately for Visitors and Sessions. A visitor is a unique individual who accesses your website, while a session represents a single interaction or visit by any user. Typically, a visitor will have multiple sessions, meaning their overall engagement is longer than a single session. By comparing the number of visitors to the number of sessions, you can estimate the average number of sessions per visitor.

Conversion Rate over Time

This shows the number of visitors (that is, Sessions) and Conversion rate within your selected time frame.

By Landing Page

You can view visitors' conversion behavior in the Landing page dimension within your selected time range. The common dimensions are as follows:

Metric Description
Landing page type Type of the first page a visitor enters your store, for example, Homepage, Product page, etc.
Landing page path Path of the first page a visitor enters your store.
Landing page URL URL of the first page a visitor enters your store.

View Traffics and Sales Contributions by Referrer

Within your selected time frame, you can view sessions and their conversion by referrer source or country/region.

For a single order, the "1 visitor from Facebook completed 1 order" prompt can be seen only when the order is contributed to Facebook for the last time and the customer jumped to your store from Facebook.
Referrer source Type of the channel via which the user is referred (for example, Social), or the last referrer source in the order record.
Country/Region Country/region where the IP address of the visitor is located, or country/region of the IP address of the visitor in the order record. A visitor may change their IP address when accessing online stores, causing the IP address in the visitor record different from that in the order record. For a single order, the "1 visitor from the US completed 1 order" prompt can be seen only when the country/region of the IP address of the customer in the order record (for example, US) is the same as that of the visitor.

These metrics can help you understand the conversion rate of searches into sales in your store. 

Due to search tracking, the report does include all searches in your store within, the last 24 hours, and the data is traceable to February 27, 2023 only. If you want to view any date before this date, no result will be displayed.
