How can I track which traffic sources convert best?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm struggling to understand which marketing channels are truly driving conversions and revenue. I'm investing in multiple traffic sources like Google Ads, Facebook Ads, Instagram, email marketing, and organic search, but I can't definitively pinpoint which ones are delivering the best return on investment. I need a comprehensive strategy to track, measure, and analyze the performance of each traffic source accurately, so I can optimize my marketing budget and focus on the most effective channels.
