How do I attribute conversion when multiple touchpoints exist?

As an e-commerce business owner, I'm struggling to understand how to accurately track and attribute conversions when customers interact with multiple marketing channels before making a purchase. I want to know which touchpoints truly drive sales and how to assign credit in a way that reflects the customer's journey. My current analytics feel fragmented, and I'm unsure how to make data-driven decisions about my marketing investments across different platforms and campaigns.
