Keeping up with the ecommerce checkout practices to reduce abandonment practices, handle bounce rates and so to have the best ecommerce solution how can google analytics help? Adding a little extra code in the site back end to gather the level of data that gives you information on profitable traffic sources and more enabling us to work out the marketing ROI very easily, would be denied by us? We don’t think so!
Google Analytics Ecommerce reports provide not just a few but the whole chunk of the data below, extremely useful in working out the outcome of the website, returns and much more,

- Average price of products
- Performance by date
- Day to transaction
- Visits to transaction
These available data could be segmented in the ways convenient to us, as in, Traffic source would give the sales data out of online marketing, search engine optimization, traffic of referrals where existing customers refer prospects, and an amalgamation of these to give you the best idea on the best return.

The products that sell well from organic traffic and those that do well from paid marketing could be made out from the analytics data. Hour of the day when maximum orders get checked out could give you the idea of when you must keep the site prepared for maximum support.
