Анализ на онлайн магазина: Управление на отчети и статистика за продажби в Ecwid

9 min read

Imagine that a pilot would have to control a plane without a dashboard. Най-вероятно, it’d be a mess.

The same is true for online sellers. To decide on your next move, you need to understand what’s going on in your online store:

Where your customers come from
How much they spend
What products are most popular
How your promotions perform.

Your Ecwid store can provide that data. The more you track, the more you know — and the more you can achieve. Data reveals strengths and weaknesses, forecasts pitfalls, and helps you allocate your budget wisely.

Just like professional pilots, you can conveniently control your data on a dashboard. Отидете на My Sales → Reports to get an overview of all the available tools and to set up reports that are relevant to your specific business.

Vital Metrics

Start tracking your online store metrics after the store opening. You don’t have to set anything up, the data is collected automatically.

Automated reports and sales analytics

How are your sales doing? A quick trip to Control Panel → Sales → Reports will let you find out immediately.

On the top of this page, click ‘Set up’.

After you install the app, click “Open”, and you’ll see a pop-up with the core online store metrics:

Visitors
приходи
Коефициент на реализация
Поръчки

You can display those stats for the day, month, or any other period. With this intuitive page, you’ll always keep your fingers on the pulse of your business and be able to track positive and negative trends.

The basic metrics are available on the Free plan.

If you want more data, extended stats are available:

Items per Order
Revenue per Order
Visits Until Purchase
Time to Purchase
Top Products
Top Categories
Top Locations
Order Status
Traffic Sources
Conversion Rate by Channel
Customer Acquisition Cost for Ads
Top Keywords

These metrics and more will give you a better picture and let you plan your marketing campaigns, allocate your budget, and turn down unprofitable sales channels.

The advanced analytics are available on all Ecwid paid plans.

Real-time sales tracking

It’s possible to track data even without your computer. С мобилното приложение Ecwid, you can get your sales data on your iPhone, Ай Пад, или устройство с Android.

To install the app, отидете на Sales → Reports and follow the setup steps.

If you are already using the app, you simply won’t see this block on your reports dashboard.

Our app is far more than an analytic tool. You can create and edit orders, run and pause promotions, print invoices, and get help with your store.

Start a 14-day free trial of the Ecwid mobile app, and then it’ll be available for free on all paid Ecwid plans.

Deep Analytics

Google Analytics is the most popular free analytic tool that helps thousands of online merchants scale and adjust their sales. It provides a lot of customer data: who they are, where they come from, what exactly they do in a store.

These features make Google Analytics your must-try:

Sales Funnels — You can find out quickly whether your site’s checkout process is effective with goal tracking and funnel visualizations.
Visitor Engagement — Measure visitor engagement and see how much time a visitor spends on your site and which pages they check out.
Historical Benchmarking — With GA, you can examine how your acquisition channels performed this year versus last year.

За да започнете, create a Google Analytics account and connect it to your Ecwid store:

Click “Set Up Google Analytics” on your Sales → Reports страница.
Add your Google Analytics Web Property ID (How to get your ID).

Google Analytics in Ecwid

If you are going to run paid search ads with Google Adwords, enable the Remarketing feature. You’ll be able to advertise to your store visitors: return those who left without a purchase or remind your existing customers of your store.

Google ремаркетинг

Това е! You’re done setting up. The stats will start generating during the next 24 часа. You can track them in your Google Analytics account.

Extended Options

A number of apps in the Пазар на приложения Ecwid will simplify stats management for you and save you time. All Ecwid merchants on paid plans have access to the App Market.

Visitor recordings and heat maps

You can see what’s going on in your store from a customer point of view, just like in a movie. Lucky Orange can track anonymous sessions of your actual customers so that you see how they browse, what they click on, and where they leave.

Another comprehensive way to examine your stats is heat maps. Such a map aggregates a lot of customer actions (clicks) and shows you where they click the most, as if you are looking at your website through X-ray.

Using heat maps allows you to understand if your website design, копие, and photography perform well and to adjust those things based on customer behavior, not guesses.

Lucky Orange offers these features and more for $10-$50 на месец. There’s also a 7-day free trial.

Scheduled reports in your inbox

Analytics take time, but you can save some by scheduling automated daily, седмично, or monthly reports that will be sent to your inbox. There are at least two ways to do that:

Set up automated reports in Google Analytics. It’s easier than it may sound, especially with our ръководство стъпка по стъпка. Your reports will look like this:

Use Squiz Reports. Those are beautiful reports that require less effort to get started with.

Simply install the Squiz Reports app — the price starts at $5 на месец, and there’s a free trial too.

Sales tracking via Facebook Messenger and Telegram

Statiny Chatbot is a bot that replies to your commands with fresh data from your online store.

You can ask a bot to set up a schedule and send you automated daily reports. This bot is of great help for those merchants who need to share their stats with admins/managers/marketers because it’s possible to add several owners.

Statiny Chatbot

This app has a free plan and a free 30-day trial. Or you might want to use an advanced version for $24 на месец.

The Reports page in your Ecwid store was built to make it easier for you to manage your analytics tools and make sense of all the data.

Keep checking it out to see what tools you have installed and what else you can try for working with your store insights.
