See every featureCartalyst 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.
CartSpy shows every cart on your store live: each add to cart, checkout and order as it happens, shopper by shopper. Abandoned carts keep their products, including carts left before checkout, which Shopify's abandoned checkouts never list. A daily email sums up yesterday's carts, checkouts and orders, where they came from and what to fix.
- Find products shoppers add to cart but do not buy
- Track removed items and empty storefront searches
- Spot cart patterns and merchandising opportunities
- Live view of add to carts, checkouts and orders
- View traffic source for customer events
