See every featureMost merchants only see cart abandonment after the fact — once a shopper is already gone. 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.
Watch store activity as it happens. See where visitors come from, the pages they view, how long they stay, and the paths they take. Track traffic sources, campaigns, conversions, bounce rates, and locations through clear reports and maps. Filter your own visits, schedule alerts and email reports, and export or share results. Setup takes minutes: enable the theme app embed without editing code.

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.
