Most Shopify analytics tell you what happened. CartSpy shows you what's happening.

Reports arrive the next morning, averaged across everyone. CartSpy watches your storefront live — who is browsing, what they put in the cart, and where they drop off — one shopper at a time.

Compared against categories rather than named apps. The App Store has hundreds of analytics apps and they cluster into a few kinds — this is what each kind is built to do.

What you actually walk away with

Seven exports, run over any date range. The retargeting list is the one that pays for the app: every abandoned cart that left a contact behind, ready to drop into Klaviyo, Mailchimp or a Meta audience.

CartSpy Exports screen with the export type list open on Retargeting List (Abandoned Carts) — **Pick an export, get a file you can use the same day.** Email, phone, first and last name, customer ID, cart value, currency and the exact products left behind — one row per shopper.

The exported retargeting list open in a spreadsheet: email, name, cart value, currency and products for each abandoned cart — **Pick an export, get a file you can use the same day.** Email, phone, first and last name, customer ID, cart value, currency and the exact products left behind — one row per shopper.

Bot Traffic report in CartSpy — **Bot traffic, separated out.** Which crawlers are hitting the store, so the numbers everywhere else are not quietly inflated by them.

What CartSpy doesn't do

The table above scores these three as No or Partial. Here is the detail, so you can rule us out in a minute rather than after a month.

You need profit after cost of goods, ads and shipping. A profit analytics app does this properly. CartSpy does not calculate margin.
Your problem is ad attribution. If the question is which campaign produced a sale, a server-side pixel app is the right tool. CartSpy shows the source on a cart, not multi-touch attribution.
You want year-over-year cohorts. CartSpy keeps a rolling window built for what is happening now, not multi-year trends.

Love this app. It helps you to understand which are the most viewed products and what people are adding to cart. It fills in the gaps with all of the info that Shopify’s analytics doesn’t give. I’ve recommended it to a few people who have also downloaded it.

See your own carts in about two minutes

Install, and the live view fills as soon as someone adds to their cart. Nothing to configure, no tracking code to paste.
