E-commerce statistics overview

Campaigns that have Google Analytics tracking enabled will now show a revenue information section under detailed campaign statistics view. The revenue information is obtained from Google Analytics account by specific tracking parameter added to the campaign in Smaily.

Note! The integration works only when Google Analytics UTM parameter is added in the last step of the campaign creation. Read how to add GA UTM parameters to Smaily campaigns here.

Note! Due to Google Analytics aggregation delay the actual information displayed is not real-time. It usually takes a few hours for a purchase to appear in Google Analytics and Smaily.

Currently there are 4 metrics visible under statistics:

  • Total revenue – sum of purchases from the campaign
  • Average revenue per user – total revenue divided by number of purchasers
  • Open conversion rate – unique opens divided by number of purchasers
  • Click conversion rate – unique clicks divided by number of purchasers
