Tracking Cart Abandonment Rate and Recovery Rate
Accurate tracking requires combining Shopify native data with GA4 funnel analysis and recovery attribution from your campaign tool.
Step 1: Shopify Native Tracking
- Go to Shopify Admin - Analytics - Reports - Abandoned Checkouts
- This report shows checkout-stage abandonment with cart contents and customer emails
- Calculate abandonment rate: Abandoned / (Completed + Abandoned) x 100
Step 2: GA4 Funnel Exploration
- In GA4, go to Explore - Funnel Exploration
- Build steps: view_item, add_to_cart, begin_checkout, purchase
- GA4 shows exact drop-off percentages at each step with device and traffic breakdowns
Step 3: Recovery Rate Tracking
| Metric | Formula |
|---|---|
| Recovery rate | Recovered orders / Total abandoned x 100 |
| Revenue recovered | Recovered orders x Average order value |
| Recovery ROI | Revenue recovered / Campaign cost x 100 |
