Last Update a month ago
Dash to Cart Analytics helps merchants see what is happening across the store, from how visitors arrive to what products they engage with to how many ultimately complete an order.
Rather than looking at traffic alone, the goal is to understand where customers are in the buying journey and where they may drop off.
Step 1: Open Analytics
From your Dash to Cart store dashboard:
You can then review your store’s performance for the selected period.
Step 2: Choose a date range
Dash to Cart allows merchants to adjust the reporting period.
The current Analytics interface supports time periods ranging from the last 24 hours up to the last 12 months.
Use shorter periods to review a recent campaign or launch, and longer periods to look for broader trends.
Step 3: Review your traffic metrics
Analytics can include metrics such as:
These metrics help you understand how much traffic your store receives and how visitors interact with it.
Avoid looking at a single metric in isolation. For example, a high number of page views is more useful when considered alongside product engagement, cart activity and completed orders.
Step 4: Review the checkout funnel
One of the most useful areas is the checkout funnel.
Dash to Cart can show the progression from: Product views → Add to cart → Completed orders
This helps merchants identify where potential customers drop off.
For example:
Step 5: Review product engagement
Product engagement data helps you understand which products attract visitors' attention.
Use this information to identify products that may deserve:
Step 6: Understand where visitors come from
Dash to Cart Analytics includes traffic-source information such as:
This helps you compare traffic from different campaigns, websites, or locations.
If you use UTM parameters in marketing links, they can make campaign performance easier to analyse.
Step 7: Review revenue performance
Analytics also includes revenue-related information so merchants can see how store performance changes over time.
Treat forecasts as estimates, not guaranteed future revenue.
Step 8: Use AI Insights
Where available, Dash to Cart provides an AI Insight feature that can help interpret Analytics data.
The AI-generated report can be reviewed, copied or downloaded. The current walkthrough states that AI Insights use AI Tokens and are available to eligible paid subscribers.
AI Insights are designed to help merchants understand the data more quickly, but they should support — not replace — your own business judgement.
Can I connect external analytics tools?

What metrics should I focus on?
Start with the metric connected to the problem you are trying to solve.
If you want more visitors:
Review traffic sources and campaign data.
If customers add products to cart but do not complete purchases:
Review checkout behaviour, shipping and payment options.
If sales are growing:
Review revenue trends, best-performing products, and repeat customer opportunities.
The goal is not to monitor every metric every day. Use Analytics to identify the next useful action for your store.
Rather than looking at traffic alone, the goal is to understand where customers are in the buying journey and where they may drop off.
Step 1: Open Analytics
From your Dash to Cart store dashboard:
- Open Dashboard.
- Select Analytics.
You can then review your store’s performance for the selected period.
Step 2: Choose a date range
Dash to Cart allows merchants to adjust the reporting period.
The current Analytics interface supports time periods ranging from the last 24 hours up to the last 12 months.

Step 3: Review your traffic metrics
Analytics can include metrics such as:
- Page views
- Unique visitors
- Bounce rate
- Average visit duration
- Pages per session
- Hourly and daily traffic patterns
These metrics help you understand how much traffic your store receives and how visitors interact with it.
Avoid looking at a single metric in isolation. For example, a high number of page views is more useful when considered alongside product engagement, cart activity and completed orders.
Step 4: Review the checkout funnel
One of the most useful areas is the checkout funnel.
Dash to Cart can show the progression from: Product views → Add to cart → Completed orders
This helps merchants identify where potential customers drop off.
For example:
- Strong traffic but few product interactions may suggest a relevance or storefront issue.
- Strong product views but few cart adds may point to the product page, offer or pricing.
- Strong cart activity but few completed orders may indicate friction around shipping, payment or checkout.
Step 5: Review product engagement
Product engagement data helps you understand which products attract visitors' attention.
Use this information to identify products that may deserve:
- Better positioning
- More promotion
- Improved images or descriptions
- Placement in a Collection
- A Sale Session
- A relevant Bundle Discount
Step 6: Understand where visitors come from
Dash to Cart Analytics includes traffic-source information such as:
- Referrers
- UTM medium
- UTM campaign
- Geographic visits
This helps you compare traffic from different campaigns, websites, or locations.
If you use UTM parameters in marketing links, they can make campaign performance easier to analyse.
