Traffic and conversion metrics tell you whether a variant improves shopper behavior through the funnel, not just final orders.

How are visitors and sessions derived in ABConvert?

ABConvert computes traffic metrics from experiment-attributed event data:
  • Visitors = distinct visitor_id values in experiment events.
  • Sessions = distinct session_id values in experiment events.
A visitor can create multiple sessions, so Sessions is usually higher than Visitors.

Which Shopify events power funnel tracking?

ABConvert’s funnel steps map to Shopify Web Pixels standard events. See Shopify’s full event reference at Shopify Web Pixels standard events.
