Shopware tip: Track all of your store's shopping cart activities with ga Analytics
Below is a guide on how you can successfully track clicks on the shopping cart button and all other shopping cart activities. You don't have to customize all pages in the template individually. We use jQuery and store a small script in our individual JavaScript.
THIS THEN LOOKS LIKE THIS:
$(function () { // ga analytics stuff to track cart actions var pagePath = window.location.pathname; var mainTitle = $('h1').text(); $('.buybox--button').click(function() { ga('send', 'event', 'shopping cart click', mainTitle, pagePath); }); });
We only record the detail page here. If you have added further shopping cart buttons on the page, e.g. in the listing or the sliders, you must add the code accordingly.
THIS COULD LOOK SOMETHING LIKE THIS:
$(function () { // ga analytics stuff to track cart actions var pagePath = window.location.pathname; var mainTitle = $('h1').text(); $('.buybox--button, .buybox--form .product--actions, .buybox--form .layer--btn').click(function() { ga('send', 'event', 'shopping cart click', mainTitle, pagePath); }); });
The most important key figures for your online shop
The most important key figures include visitor numbers, conversion rate, returns rate and abandonment or exit rates of your customers. Customer behavior in your store and your turnover are the basis of all key figures for every online store. Shopware customers can find the data required for this in the Shopware backend under Marketing and Analysis. A separate tool for this is Google Analytics.
The conversion rate is a KPI (Key Performance Indicator) from online marketing. It shows the ratio of visitors to a website to conversions and is given as a percentage. What exactly the conversion is can be defined in advance. Whether this is a transaction, a newsletter registration or a successful download - you decide. The conversion rate is used to calculate the efficiency of your advertising banners, websites or online stores in order to get the maximum return from advertising campaigns. To calculate this, we need the following formula
Number of buyers * 100 / visitors
To increase your conversion rate, it helps to make your website as attractive as possible. Enhance your content with photos, graphics or videos, create a user-friendly interface and operation as the basis for a satisfied customer. If you run an online store, offer your customers an easy way to register to keep them coming back. Forms that are too complicated often cause frustration and make customers who are just about ready to buy jump ship. There are many ways to increase your conversion rate.
