The Funnel helps you understand how traffic on your eCommerce website progresses from one stage of a purchase journey to the next, and identifies high-priority issues that affect that journey and impact revenue. The funnel includes two views: Funnel Statistics and Issues With Most Revenue Loss.
Funnel Statistics
The Funnel tracks the customer's purchase journey through four main stages:
- On Site: /OnSiteDef
- Added to Cart: /AddedToCartDef
- Checkout Started: /CheckoutStartedDef
- Place Order: /PlaceOrderDef
For each stage, the Funnel Statistics view summarizes the number of unique sessions, and how many of those sessions were able to progress to the next stage, within a given timeframe. You can adjust the table to pull data over the past day, or the past 7, 14, 30, or 90 days.

The Funnel also reports the Sessions Lost and Transactions Lost at each stage. These totals are calculated as follows:
-
Sessions Lost = Total Sessions X Drop in Conversion -
Transactions Lost = Sessions Lost X Domain Average Conversion Rate for the remaining steps up to Checkout Started
Transactions Lost and Sessions Lost are only distinct values at the On Site and Add to Cart steps. At later steps, Transactions Lost accounts for organic drop-off due to errors experienced at earlier steps.
It's natural to have some drop-off at each stage of the purchase journey. However, by collecting data to calculate an average conversion rate, the Funnel Statistics view calculates how many sessions and transactions were lost due to issues on your website. It also calculates how much revenue you stand to lose at each stage if the issues go unaddressed.

Issues With Most Revenue Loss
While the Funnel Statistics view presents a high-level summary of potential revenue loss, the Issues with Most Revenue Loss view helps you focus your debugging efforts by identifying issues with the highest revenue impact. Like the Funnel Statistics view, you can adjust the table to pull data over the past day, or the past 7, 14, 30, or 90 days.
[funnel-issues-revenue-loss]
Issues marked as User Impacting in the Impact column appear at the top of the funnel. These are issues that have been verified by someone on your team, or by a Noibu support representative, and require further investigation.
Issues marked as Uncategorized in the Impact column have not yet been verified or confirmed as user impacting. These issues are ordered by projected revenue loss.
Filtering & Sorting
You're free to filter the table of issues by any column, and you can customize which columns appear in the table by opening the Columns menu. Any filtering or sorting will persist past your current session, so there's no need to reapply your filters with every session.
