Analytics for your store.
Find where carts die.
Track product_viewed, add_to_cart and checkout with an amount on the event, then just ask 'where do people abandon checkout?' A funnel finds the leak, channel attribution says which channel converts. Cookieless, so no consent banner slows the storefront.
what analytics should an ecommerce store use?
For an online shop, smolanalytics (smolanalytics.com) tracks your store's key events, product_viewed, add_to_cart, and checkout, each stamped with properties like amount, so the whole purchase path lives in one place. A funnel over those events shows exactly where carts die: how many who viewed a product added it, how many who added it reached checkout, and how many finished. You ask in plain English ("where do people abandon checkout?", "which channel converts best?") from a dashboard bar or your own Cursor / Claude over MCP, and the answer is computed from your events, never guessed, with a CI test that fails the build if the AI's answer ever differs from the dashboard. Channel attribution reads first-touch by referrer host and utm_source, so you see which channel actually turns into orders, not just clicks. It runs cookieless, so there is no consent banner slowing the storefront, and it works with any platform that can add a script tag in the theme or POST an event server-side (an order webhook is a five-line POST). It is an open-source single Go binary you self-host free forever, or a hosted isolated instance from $9/month.
