As an online store owner, one of the most important things you can do is track and monitor your store’s vitals. Doing so can help you make necessary changes to improve your store’s performance and overall health.

Luckily, Shopify makes it easy to keep an eye on your store’s vitals with their built-in tool, Vitals. In this article, we’ll show you how to use Shopify’s Vitals tool to help you better understand and manage your store.

What is Shopify Vitals?

Shopify Vitals is a tool that provides store owners with real-time data about their store’s performance. This data includes information about pageviews, orders, customers, conversion rate, and more. All of this data is displayed in an easy-to-read dashboard that can be accessed from your Shopify admin.

Why is monitoring my store’s vitals important?

Monitoring your store’s vitals is important because it can help you identify areas that need improvement. For example, if you see a sudden decrease in pageviews or orders, you can investigate the cause and make changes accordingly. Additionally, tracking your vitals over time can help you spot trends and make long-term decisions about your business.

PRO TIP: If you are planning to use Shopify’s Vitals app, please be aware that there are some risks involved. The main risk is that the app can access your Shopify account and make changes to your store without your knowledge or consent. This could lead to unexpected charges on your account, or even data loss.

To avoid these risks, please make sure that you only install the app from the Shopify App Store, and that you always review the permissions that the app requests before installing it.

How do I use Shopify Vitals?

To access Shopify Vitals, simply go to your Shopify admin and click on the “Vitals” link in the left-hand sidebar. From here, you’ll be taken to the Vitals dashboard where you can see all of your real-time data.

To view specific data points, simply click on the metric that you want to view. For example, clicking on the “Orders” metric will show you a graph of your recent orders.

Conclusion

Shopify’s Vitals tool is a great way to monitor your store’s performance in real-time. By tracking your store’s vitals, you can identify areas that need improvement and make necessary changes to improve your store’s overall health.
