DATA/GAP
CART ABANDONMENT

Your cart-recovery flow sends one email. Every kind of abandoner gets the same one.

Recovery is four to eight times more responsive when the flow branches on where the abandoner left. Cart? Shipping? Payment? Without abandonment_stage on the event, your flow is a single broadcast. We audit what's captured and ship the missing tracking.

WHAT WE CHECK

What this audit looks for.

The audit compares your stack against our hand-curated reference model for consumer e-commerce. Here are the checks relevant to Shopify cart abandonment.

  • cart_abandoned
    Product event. Required property: abandonment_stage. Category: cart-checkout.
  • checkout_started
    Product event. Required property: cart_total. Category: cart-checkout.
  • cart_added
    Product event. Required property: cart_total_after. Category: cart-checkout.
EXAMPLE GAP

What one gap looks like for Shopify cart abandonment.

CRITICAL
GAP 01

No attribution source captured on order_completed

You spend on paid acquisition but can’t tie orders back to the campaigns that drove them, which makes ROAS a guess, not a measurement.

WHY IT MATTERS

Fixing this typically lifts paid-channel ROAS visibility 2-3x and gives Meta and Google the clean conversion signal they need to optimize against.

WE FOUND:
  order_completed            fired 3,847 times in the last 30 days
  attribution_source         present on 0 events (0.0%)
  utm_source (on signup)     present on 2,104 events (54.7%)
  referrer (on signup)       present on 1,201 events (31.2%)
WE EXPECTED:
  attribution_source         on 100% of order_completed events
  first_touch_source         on 100% of order_completed events
  last_touch_source          on 100% of order_completed events
WHAT’S MISSING

Attribution exists at signup but never makes it onto the order. Every paid channel, Meta, Google, TikTok, affiliate, is flying blind on true ROAS because the conversion event has no source. You’re likely over-attributing to email and under-attributing to everything else.

WHAT TO DO

Stitch attribution at order time: pull first_touch and last_touch from the customer record onto the order event. Add attribution_source as a required property on order_completed going forward. Backfill the last 30 days from your warehouse if you have the raw touches.

HOW TO FIX
USE
Triple Whale (or Northbeam) app for Shopify
OPEN APP →
  1. 01Open the Shopify App Store and install Triple Whale (or your preferred attribution app).
  2. 02Connect Meta, Google, TikTok, and Klaviyo from inside Triple Whale's setup. This wires first-touch and last-touch attribution onto every order automatically.
  3. 03In Klaviyo, add the new "First Touch Source" customer property to your post-purchase flows so they branch on acquisition channel.
