After 'GA Enhanced Ecommerce' activation you will see additional sections in AliDropship → Reports → Traffic Report: Product performance, E-commerce overview and Device categories.

Product performance shows statistics per each product in the table:

Product revenue – revenue from individual product sales.
Unique purchases – the total number of times a specified product was a part of a transaction.
Quantity – the number of units sold in ecommerce transactions.
Average price – the average ecommerce revenue per product.
Cart-to-detail rate – the number of products added to a shopping cart per number of product page views.
Buy-to-detail rate – shows how many products were purchased per number of product page views.

E-commerce overview – is a general information about your transactions, revenue, ecommerce conversion rate and average order value. 

With the help of GA Enhanced Ecommerce, you can easily learn where your сash flow comes from and where your store visitors come from.

Have a look at 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

Device categories is a section which allows you to understand how many people buy products on your site using desktop version, tablet or mobile. 

Users – users who have initiated at least one session during the date range.
New users – the number of first-time users during the selected date range.
Average session duration – the average length of a session.
Bounce rate – the percentage of single-page sessions in which there was no interaction with the page. A bounced session has a duration of 0 seconds.
Transactions – is the total number of completed purchases on your site.
Revenue – the total revenue from transactions. 

How to find ecommerce reports in Google Analytics:
