Coverage counts what each App Store listing names. Every feature, checked off app by app, is in Shoplist.
See every featureRevenue reports show how much you sold. Spending well means knowing where each sale came from. IdealData traces each order to its source: an email, search result, paid ad, or phone call. You see which channels produce orders and can shift budget to what works. Customer activity, carts, and orders sit in one view, so you can follow up while a customer is still on your site.
Signals aggregates the pre-purchase behavior behind every order—the cues that decide whether a visitor buys or hesitates. See products added then removed from cart, search terms that led to purchases, visit-days vs. purchase rate, compared product pairs, pre-payment drop-offs, and decision stages A-F. Export any visitor's history by clientId.
- Know when a customer is on your store shopping right now
- Know when a repeat customer passes their usual reorder date without ordering
- Know what to reorder, how much, from whom, and when a vendor order is late
- Catch $0 prices, margin errors, and prices far from market as they happen
- Top abandoned-from-cart products—see hesitation and price-sensitivity signals
- Search-to-purchase correlation—which search terms actually led to sales
- Decision-stage distribution—segment every visitor from visit-only to purchased
- Pre-payment drop-off—visitors who entered payment info but didn't buy
