Read this full guide to understand all the metrics Videowise tracks, and how to use our changelog feature.
The Analytics section helps you understand how your videos perform across your store and how they contribute to engagement, conversions, and revenue.
This guide explains what each metric means, how to interpret it, and includes practical examples to help you act on the data.
Where to Find Analytics
- Open the Videowise dashboard
- Go to Shoppable → Analytics
At the top of the page, you can:
- Select a date range
- Install or verify the tracking pixel
- View the change log
Analytics Overview
The Analytics dashboard is organized into cards that show:
- Video-driven revenue
- Shopper engagement
- Conversion performance
- Widget and video-level results
- Device breakdown
Each card answers a different performance question.
Video Sales
Total Video Sales
What it means
Total revenue attributed to shoppers who engaged with video content.
This includes both direct and influenced sales.
Example
A shopper watches a product video, continues browsing, and purchases later.
That order contributes to total video sales.
If your dashboard shows $138K, it means videos influenced or drove $138,000 in revenue during the selected period.
Direct vs Influenced Video Sales
Direct video sales
Sales where the shopper clicked a product directly from a video and purchased.
Influenced video sales
Sales where the shopper watched a video, then purchased later in the same session without clicking directly from the video.
Example
- Shopper taps “Shop now” inside a video and buys → Direct sale
- Shopper watches a video, scrolls, then buys from the product page → Influenced sale
Both show the impact of video beyond just clicks.
Video Conversion Rate
What it means
The percentage of shoppers who purchased after interacting with video content.
Example
If 1,000 shoppers watched a video and 73 of them made a purchase, your video conversion rate is 7.3%.
If this is higher than your site’s average conversion rate, videos are outperforming static content.
On-Site Engagement Rate
What it means
The percentage of total visitors who interacted with video content.
Example
If 12,700 visitors engaged with videos out of 756,000 total visitors, your engagement rate is 1.68%.
An increasing rate usually means better placement or more relevant content.
Widget Performance
Unique Widget Views
What it means
The number of unique visitors who saw at least one video widget.
Example
If the same shopper visits multiple pages, they are counted once.
870,000 unique widget views means 870,000 individual visitors were exposed to video content.
Top Video Widgets
What it means
Ranks widgets based on sales performance.
Example
- “Carousel under test” generates $136K
- “Homepage brand video” generates $0
This tells you which placements drive revenue and which need optimization.
Video Orders
Total Video Orders
What it means
The number of orders attributed to video engagement.
Example
If 929 orders were placed after shoppers interacted with video, then videos influenced 929 purchases during that period.
This metric connects engagement to real transactions.
Viewing Behavior
Videos Watched
What it means
Tracks how shoppers consume video content.
Includes:
- Total videos watched
- Average videos per visitor
- Videos watched per day
- Skips or swipes
- Videos watched in full
- Completion rate
Example
- Avg 2.8 videos per visitor → shoppers are exploring content
- 56% completion rate → more than half watch videos to the end
Low completion may indicate videos are too long or not engaging enough.
Watch Time per Shopper
What it means
The average amount of time each shopper spends watching videos.
Example
If watch time is 30 seconds, shoppers typically watch only the beginning of videos.
If this drops significantly, consider:
- Shorter videos
- Faster hooks
- Better thumbnails
Shopper by Device
What it means
Shows where video shoppers come from.
Example
- 90% mobile
- 10% desktop
This indicates a mobile-first audience, meaning vertical videos and fast autoplay experiences perform best.
Top Videos
What it means
Ranks individual videos by sales performance.
Example
- “Deep Dive” → $22K
- “Bass Test” → $9.7K
Use this data to:
- Repurpose winning formats
- Create similar videos
- Promote top performers more prominently
Top Pages
What it means
Shows which pages generate the most video-driven revenue.
Example
- Product page A → $68K
- Product page B → $26K
This helps identify where videos have the biggest commercial impact.
Best Practices for Using Analytics
- Compare trends over weeks, not days
- Measure video conversion vs site-wide conversion
- Optimize low-performing widgets before adding more
- Reuse top-performing videos
- Watch completion and watch time closely
- Review mobile behavior first
