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.

We monitor page visits, cart activity, checkouts and orders, allowing you to quickly gauge the impact of new marketing campaigns or pinpoint issues hindering customer purchases.
