DocumentationAnalytics and SEO
Analytics overview
Understand the main store-performance cards, charts, funnel, and diagnostic sections in Runner Analytics.
Analytics gives you one page for checking sales, visits, conversion, product performance, and an Alpha diagnostics preview.
Entry path
Open a store project, then select Analytics in the project navigation.
Before you start
- Your plan must include storefront data.
- A published store and shopper activity are needed for meaningful traffic and sales results.
- Orders, refunds, and funnel events appear only after Runner receives those events.
Controls and click results
| Control or area | What happens after you select it |
|---|---|
| Time-range selector | Opens the available reporting windows. Selecting one refreshes the cards and charts for that period. |
| Last 24 hours, Last 7 days, or Last 30 days | Applies that window to the page. It does not create missing store events. |
| Site Diagnostics (Alpha) | Shows its current preview card. The card does not open store-specific issue details. |
Main sections
| Section | What it helps you understand |
|---|---|
| Net Sales | Revenue after the adjustments included in the report. |
| GMV | The gross value of merchandise in the selected period. |
| Sessions | Visits recorded for the storefront. |
| Conversion Rate | The share of recorded sessions that reached purchase. |
| Traffic and sales charts | How visits, GMV, or net sales changed during the selected period. |
| Product and source sections | Which products or acquisition sources contributed to results. |
| Conversion funnel | How many sessions reached traffic, add to cart, checkout, and purchase stages. |
| Cart abandonment and refund sections | Where carts stopped and how much completed activity was later refunded. |
| Site Diagnostics (Alpha) | Displays a preview for Merchandising, SEO, Site Performance, and Store Setup. AI Data is a separate badge, not a fifth score. The current card does not provide store-specific issue evidence. |
Review store performance
- Open Analytics.
- Choose the reporting window at the top of the page.
- Read the four summary cards first.
- Compare traffic with GMV or net sales rather than reading either chart alone.
- Check product and source sections to find where the result came from.
- Review the conversion funnel, cart abandonment, and refunds for friction after a visit.
- Use Site Diagnostics only as an Alpha overview. The current card does not open a detail workflow or identify an affected page.
Troubleshooting
| State | Meaning and next step |
|---|---|
| Dash, zero, or empty chart | No matching data was recorded for that metric and period. Try a longer window and confirm the store has activity. |
| Upgrade screen | The current plan does not include this reporting surface. Review plan access before troubleshooting the store. |
| One chart has data and another does not | The underlying events differ. For example, visits can exist before orders. |
| Unexpected conversion result | Confirm the same date range is selected, then compare the funnel stages for the first large drop. |
| Diagnostics score looks unexpected | The Alpha card does not provide supporting issue details. Do not change the store from this score alone; use the storefront, Analytics, or SEO evidence that identifies a real page or event. |
