CartLens gives you a real-time view of cart activity across your store, showing what shoppers are adding, removing, and leaving behind as it happens. This visibility helps you understand shopper behavior, identify where drop-off occurs, and make informed decisions without waiting for end-of-day reports.
See every cart in your store in real time, with customer info, location, and the full journey from landing page to checkout. Watch which pages visitors browse before adding to cart.

Reviews, ratings, plans, features and integrations come from each app’s Shopify App Store listing. 28-day figures are labeled when estimated, and a figure that is missing or estimated never decides who leads.
