Why Use the User Journey Addon

The benefits of using the User Journey addon are:

  • The journey that a user took through to order completion.
  • The time of each step, down to the minute.
  • Each page that has been visited.
  • The address of the page, be it blog or homepage
  • The time spent on each page or product, down to the second.

Understanding and knowing the stats for each product and page will allow you to see what products purchases are looking at that are similar. This can allow you to cross-promote products or create bundles to group popular products together.
