What's a CRO funnel and how do I visualize it for my cosmetics store?

As a cosmetics store owner, I'm struggling to understand my customer's journey and identify where potential buyers are dropping off. I've heard about CRO (Conversion Rate Optimization) funnels but don't know how to create or interpret them effectively. I want to track how visitors move from initial product discovery through to final purchase, pinpoint bottlenecks, and strategically improve my store's conversion rates. What exactly is a CRO funnel, and how can I visualize and analyze one specifically for my beauty and cosmetics e-commerce business?
