GA Enhanced Ecommerce: products stats

This informational block, entitled Product Performance, is dedicated to the items in your dropshipping store.

When you have GA Enhanced Ecommerce installed, you can find it using the following route: AliDropship -> Reports -> Traffic Report: Product Performance.

In this tab, you will see a table like this one:

Here, you can see the name of every product within your store, and the indicators that describe the performance of each of these items:

Product revenue – the revenue you got from the sales of this particular item.
Unique purchases – the total number of times this item was included in a completed purchase.
Quantity – the total number of the sold item units.
Average price – the average price per product unit that includes the applied coupons.
Cart-to-detail-rate – the number of products added to a shopping cart divided by the number of product page views.
Buy-to-detail-rate – the number of purchased products divided by the number of product page views.

Thanks to these indicators, you can understand:

Which items bring you the highest and the lowest revenue?
What are the best and the worst selling products?
Are your products descriptions motivating enough to urge the viewers to complete their purchases?

Certainly, such data clearly shows you the ways to review your store offer, to improve the products presentation – and to boost your profits!

GA Enhanced Ecommerce: in-store transactions stats

This informational block, entitled Ecommerce overview, is dedicated to the operations completed in your dropshipping store.

When you have GA Enhanced Ecommerce installed, you can find it using the following route: AliDropship -> Reports -> Traffic Report: E-commerce overview.

In this tab, you will see a table like this one:

As you can see, it lets you answer the following questions:

How many transactions have been completed?
What is the volume of the revenue you’ve got from the purchases?
How big is the conversion rate?
What is the average volume of a purchase made in your store?

It’s awesome, right? This is how you can track your business progress, and set up the goals for the future growth!

GA Enhanced Ecommerce: Traffic sources

Where do your store visitors come from?

And, most importantly, where do your сash flow come from?

With the help of GA Enhanced Ecommerce, you can learn it from the Traffic reports: Traffic sources section.

You may recognize this table: it was previously available in our reports section. But, in its earlier versions, this table was lacking the most important details: the 2 last columns, Transactions and Revenue.

When you have GA Enhanced Ecommerce on your site, these valuable columns appear.

Therefore, you can see various sources of traffic, and the indicators that describe their performance:

The amount of users
The number of new users
The average time spent on the website
Bounce rate (the amount of people who have left the site after viewing a single page only)
The number of completed transactions
The volume of revenue

Surely, such data is precious. With the help of these numbers, you can easily understand which informational channels play the biggest role in the growth of your store visits and purchases. Therefore, you get the opportunity to focus your attention on the most beneficial sources, and boost your business profits even more.

GA Enhanced Ecommerce: users’ behavior stats

Probably, this is one of the most interesting things tracked by this plugin.

This informational block, entitled Device Categories, is dedicated to the analysis of your buyers’ actions.

When you have GA Enhanced Ecommerce installed, you can find it using the following route: AliDropship -> Reports -> Traffic Report: Device categories.

In this tab, you will see a table like this one:

The first line contains the data about the users who view the desktop version of your website from their PCs. The second line shows the stats on the visitors who view the mobile version of your store from smartphones. The third line demonstrates the identical data about the visitors who used tablets. The columns give you answers to the following questions:

How many users have visited your website at least once?
In the specified period of time, how many first-time visitors has your store attracted?
How much time do the users spend on your website on each separate visit?
What is the percentage of the sessions when the visitors left your website after viewing a single page only?
How many transactions were completed in total?
What is the total revenue from all the transactions?

These precious insights let you understand:

How successful have you been in attracting new visitors and buyers?
What devices do people mostly use to browse your store and to make purchases?
Is the mobile version of your website convenient enough?

Naturally, the answers to these questions are vitally important to every business owner. Knowing more about your store visitors, you get a priceless chance to upgrade the technical side of your website, rethink your promo strategies, and improve the financial results of your activities.
