Running a successful online store means making smart decisions based on real data, not guesses. Growth Suite helps you become a data-driven store by tracking every visitor and giving you clear reports about how your store performs.

Let’s explore how Growth Suite’s analytics work and how they can help you grow your business.
How Growth Suite Tracks Your Store Data
Growth Suite works differently from other tools. It tracks every single visitor who comes to your store and watches everything they do during their visit.
What is a Visitor?
A visitor is each unique person who comes to your store. Growth Suite tracks visitors anonymously – it doesn’t collect any personal information about them. As long as someone uses the same browser, Growth Suite recognizes them as the same visitor when they return.
What is a Session?
A session starts when a visitor comes to your store. During this session, Growth Suite tracks all their actions:
- Which products they look at
- What they add to their cart
- What they remove from their cart
- If they start checkout
- If they complete their purchase
- If they receive any discount offers
A session ends when the visitor doesn’t do anything on your store for 1 hour. After that, if they come back, a new session begins.
Four Key Reports That Show How Your Store Performs
Growth Suite turns all this visitor data into four simple reports that help you understand your store’s performance.
1. Funnel Report: See Your Store’s Overall Performance
The Funnel Report shows you how visitors move through your store. It breaks down every session into five stages:
| Stage | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Session Start | Total number of sessions that began |
| Product View | Sessions where visitors looked at at least one product |
| Add to Cart | Sessions where visitors added items to their cart |
| Checkout Begin | Sessions where visitors started the checkout process |
| Checkout Completed | Sessions that ended with a completed purchase |
Why this matters: You can quickly see where visitors drop off. If many people add items to cart but few start checkout, you know your cart page needs work.
2. Product Report: Know Which Products Work Best
This report shows detailed performance data for each product in your store. For every product, you’ll see:
- Product Views: How many times people looked at this product
- Add to Cart: How many times it was added to cart
- Unique Purchases: How many different customers bought it
- Total Purchases: Total quantity sold
- Add to Cart Rate: Percentage of viewers who added it to cart
- Sale Rate: Percentage of viewers who actually bought it
Why this matters: You can identify your best-performing products and find out which ones need improvement. You can also export this data as a CSV file.
3. Purchase Insight Report: Understand Your Buyers
This report analyzes the behavior of customers who actually make purchases. It shows you patterns like:
- Average time it takes for a visitor to make a purchase
- Average number of sessions a customer has before buying
- Average number of product pages viewed before purchase
Why this matters: Understanding your buyers’ journey helps you optimize the experience for future customers.
4. Cart Insights Report: Track Daily Cart Activity
This report gives you a daily snapshot of cart activity in your store:
- Total number of carts created each day
- Total number of products placed in carts
- Average number of items per cart
- Total value of all created carts
- Average order value (AOV) per cart
Why this matters: You can track cart trends and work on increasing your average order value.
How to Use This Data to Grow Your Store
Having data is only useful if you act on it. Here’s how to use these reports:
Find Your Biggest Problems
Look at your Funnel Report first. Where do most visitors drop off? Focus on fixing that stage before anything else.
Optimize Your Best Products
Use the Product Report to find products with high views but low sales. These products have potential – they just need better descriptions, images, or pricing.
Learn From Your Buyers
The Purchase Insight Report shows you what successful customers do. Try to make this journey easier for new visitors.
Increase Cart Values
Use Cart Insights to track your average order value. Set goals to increase it through bundling, upsells, or minimum order incentives.
Why Growth Suite’s Tracking is Different
Most analytics tools give you general numbers. Growth Suite tracks individual visitors and their complete journey. This means:
- More accurate data: You see real visitor behavior, not just page views
- Better insights: You understand the complete customer journey
- Actionable reports: Every report shows you exactly what to fix
Getting Started with Data-Driven Decisions
Becoming data-driven doesn’t happen overnight. Start with these steps:
- Check your reports weekly: Make it a habit to review your Funnel Report every week
- Focus on one problem at a time: Don’t try to fix everything at once
- Test your changes: Make one change and see how it affects your next week’s data
- Track your progress: Keep notes on what changes you made and their results
Conclusion
Growth Suite’s analytics turn visitor tracking into clear, actionable insights. With the Funnel Report, Product Report, Purchase Insight Report, and Cart Insights Report, you have everything you need to make smart decisions about your store.
The key is to start simple: check your reports regularly, find your biggest problem, fix it, and measure the results. Over time, this data-driven approach will help you create a store that converts more visitors into customers.
Remember: Good data leads to good decisions, and good decisions lead to better sales.
