Vendor Level Statistics/analytics?

Are there any solutions for offering vendor-specific site analytic/statistic breakouts?



The built in Statistic addon only seems to offer simple site-wide visitor statistics, and I often see it recommended to turn it off when optimizing the site load times.



It’s the first question our vendors ask after we opened the store, and we’re not even sure if it’s possible or would require too much overhead…but thought I’d see if anyone has heard of anything.



Thanks in advance!

hi janskor,



The best thing is to extend Google Analytics by adding additional vendors' tracking codes on specific pages, e.g. pages where vendor product are displayed, and send sales request when vendor products are purchased.

CS-Cart 4 uses Google Analytics universal - Add analytics.js to Your Site  |  Analytics for Web (analytics.js)  |  Google Developers

Similar article is available for standard Google Analytics used in CS-Cart 2.x and 3.x.



If you need our assistance in it, please do not hesitate to contact us.



Best regards, Sergei

Sounds like a lot of work when you have 400 plus vendors (we do!).



Wonder if it could be done programatically?

yes, it can be done via customization otherwise it can take ages to add all these codes :-)



so please contact us via our Help Desk system to discuss it in more details.

What information are you going to collect per vendor?

    In this case, mink was right. Additional code modifications are required here.

So you're suggesting we push vendors off site to Google Analytics to monitor their own store activity?



Or would there be a way to retrieve and display this data from their consoles - or repurpose the now defunct Statistics add-on?

Google Analytis has released an API recently. So i think, all information can be displayed directly in the store.

Hey EcomLabs, any addons or solution for this? have you ever experienced on this?
