Can I export abandoned cart analytics as a CSV?

As a Shopify store owner running multiple ad campaigns, understanding why customers abandon their carts is crucial to improving my conversion rates. Every abandoned cart represents potential lost revenue, and I've been struggling to get a comprehensive view of these missed opportunities. I've tried manually tracking these instances, but it's time-consuming and inefficient. I need a systematic way to export and analyze these abandoned cart instances to identify patterns, understand customer behavior, and optimize my conversion strategy. Right now, I'm flying blind—seeing spikes in traffic and cart additions, but not understanding the critical moments where potential customers slip away. My team keeps asking for detailed reports, and I want to provide them with actionable insights that can help us reduce cart abandonment and improve our overall e-commerce performance. A clean, exportable CSV report would be a game-changer, allowing us to dig deep into the data, segment our analysis, and make informed decisions about our marketing and user experience strategies.
