How it sells itself

You know your online store is getting traffic and shoppers are adding products to their shopping carts. But which products? Knowing which products have been added to the cart – as it happens real-time – gives you intelligence on the most popular products or brands which allows you to make better decisions to optimize conversions.

Cartalyst helps Shopify merchants prioritize what to fix next. It ranks product leaks, cart removals, bundle opportunities, and zero-result searches using repeated shopper behavior, then helps you track completed actions and review directional before-and-after results.

Key points
  • Tells you what items are being added, removed – as it happens
  • Notifies you by email on each activity
  • Install and start seeing activities come in – fuss free!
  • Find products shoppers add to cart but do not buy
  • Track removed items and empty storefront searches
  • Spot cart patterns and merchandising opportunities
