Analytics API

The analytics API can receive events to allow full-funnel analytics and data parity with element and script implementations.

By default, Tipser elements send tracking events to the Analytics API.

API Integrations

You must implement a tracking script if you are implementing with Tipser APIs. Script tracking enables Tipser to provide you with a data dashboard of full-funnel customer actions.

Currently Tipser only supports defined tracking events. We provide both an endpoint for custom pixels and a tracking script that utilizes the API.

Event Tracking Flow

The following example demonstrates how a shopper might interact with your site, and what tracking events they might generate:

1. Shopper loads a page

User actionEvent name
The user consents to the data policy.--
The user rejects the data policy.--
The cart component renders on the page visited by the user.view_cart-tab

2. Shopper discovers a product

User actionEvent infoEvent name
The user views a store component, or part of it.view_shop
The user views a collection component, or part of it.view_collection
The user views a product tile component.If they refresh or leave and then return, another instance of the event is generated.view_product_tile

3. Shopper researches and assesses the product

User actionEvent infoEvent name
The user clicks either a standalone product tile or a product tile in a collection.click_product
The user views the product details page, either as a modal or as an embedded product page.By default, this event is sent with the click product event, but this is customizable.view_product_details
The user adds a product to their cart, or increases the quantity of the product in the cart.Increasing the quantity by any number triggers one event, and a parameter describes the updated quantity.add_to_cart
The user removes a product from their cart, or decreases the quantity of the product in the cart.Decreasing the quantity by any number triggers one event, and a parameter describes the updated quantity.remove_from_cart

4. Shopper decides to purchase

User actionEvent infoEvent name
The user views the cart page.view_cart
The user opens the checkout view.If the user refreshes the page or leaves and returns, another instance of this event is generated.view_checkout
The user clicks the payment button.click_payment_button
The user views the order confirmation page.If the user refreshes the page or leaves and returns, another instance of this event is generated.purchase_completed

Not all event types are represented in this example. Many events can be mapped onto a timeline, but some cannot.
