Understand visitor traffic on your store
Mawg3 shows your visitor traffic as it happens. Live View tells you where people are browsing from, which products they're looking at, and how many have items in their cart right now. For traffic history and where visitors came from, connect Google Analytics.
How to open Live View
- In your admin, open Analytics in the sidebar, then Live View.
- Leave the page open. It updates every 30 seconds, or click Refresh.
- If nobody is on your store, you'll see Waiting for visitors.
What Live View shows
Top countries lists where your current visitors are browsing from, so you can see which markets are active.
Customers splits visitors into New visitor and Logged in. Logged in means a shopper signed in to their customer account.
Top products shows the products people are viewing now. Customer behavior shows Active carts, Checking out and Purchased. Purchased counts paid orders from the last 10 minutes.
Live View only shows right now
A visitor stays in Live View while they browse and drops off about 2 minutes after they leave. Live View doesn't keep history. To see yesterday's or last month's visitor traffic, page views and where people came from, use Google Analytics.
Connect Google Analytics for visitor traffic history
- Create a GA4 property for your website in Google Analytics.
- In Google Analytics, open Admin, then Data Streams, then your web stream, and copy the Measurement ID. It starts with G-.
- In your Mawg3 admin, open Addons, find Google Analytics and install it.
- Paste the Measurement ID and save.
- Visit your store, then check the Realtime report in Google Analytics to make sure it's working.
