When it comes to monitoring eCommerce websites, there are so many tools you can use. For someone relatively new to eCommerce, it can be pretty overwhelming, with so many numbers and statistics to analyze and understand. And while all of these metrics bear some importance, not all of them will be important to you with every campaign. Some will be more crucial to measure than others based on your goals, making it important to cut through the noise and focus only on those metrics that matter most. To help you succeed with your eCommerce efforts, let's take a close look at what eCommerce website metrics are all about and go into some of the specific metrics worth tracking.
The checkout is one of the most critical moments in the eCommerce experience. In order to incentivize customers to checkout, you need to create an effective marketing campaign.

To help you prevent any issues from turning customers away once you've captured them, consider the following eCommerce checkout best practices.
"Personalization" and "customization" are often used interchangeably, but they are distinct concepts with different implications for the end user.

In this blog post, we'll explore the difference between personalization and customization, highlight their importance in enhancing the customer experience, and discuss the challenges and considerations for implementing them in a business context.

More and more shoppers today seek inspiration online for their purchases. Even when shoppers aren't currently looking for something, a certain source may inspire them to make a purchase.

Acquiring new customers and retaining existing ones helps boost revenue, but you should also do what you can to maximize their order values. Unfortunately, it's often hard to get customers to pile on items to their initial orders.

High average order sizes will ultimately help your business directly, making this an essential metric to boost. Thankfully, there are plenty of means to help you increase average cart value, but Video Stories are among the most effective you'll find.
