Does the Skip To Checkout functionality affects analytics reports?
When using the "Skip To Checkout" feature, you might notice some discrepancies in your analytics reports. This functionality is designed to streamline the purchasing process by bypassing the standard steps and taking customers directly to the checkout page.
Impact on Analytics Reports
Typically, analytics reports track the purchase journey as follows: Add To Cart → Start Checkout from the Cart → Complete Order. However, when "Skip To Checkout" is enabled, it redirects customers straight to the checkout page, skipping the "Add To Cart" and "Start Checkout from the Cart" stages.
As a result, the "Add To Cart" rate reported in your analytics may appear lower than usual. This is because the reports don't register the intermediate steps that were bypassed. It's important to understand that this does not necessarily reflect a decline in your sales performance or customer engagement, but rather a difference in how the data is recorded.
What You Should Do
While the "Skip To Checkout" feature might lead to some inaccuracies in your analytics reports, these discrepancies are typically minor and should not cause concern. You can continue using the feature as intended without worrying about significant impacts on your overall data insights.
For the most accurate understanding of your sales performance, consider reviewing other metrics and trends in your reports. If you have any concerns or need further clarification, feel free to reach out to our support team.
