Analytics

See what video does to your revenue

Storista compares the shoppers who watched your videos with the shoppers who didn't — conversion rate, average order value and revenue per visitor, on a purchase window you choose. Not just views and watch time.

Works with any Shopify theme. No developer needed.

Storista Analytics: shoppers who watched a video — revenue per visitor $5.92 vs $1.27 for non-watchers, 7.2% conversion rate vs 1.4% — above a cohort conversion-rate trend chart

The problem

Video apps report plays. Finance teams ask about revenue.

Impressions, clicks and watch time tell you your videos are being seen. They don't tell you whether the shoppers seeing them buy more — which is the question you get asked when the subscription comes up for renewal.

The gap exists because most apps only see the orders they can claim credit for. Storista also sees the orders it can't, and that's what makes a real comparison possible.

How it works

Two signals, joined anonymously

1. Video engagement

The widget records when a shopper sees your content, plays a video for 3 seconds, opens the fullscreen player, or taps add-to-cart.

2. Every order

A Shopify web pixel reports each completed order and its value — all of them, not only video-attributed ones.

3. The comparison

An anonymous browser identifier links the two, so we can show what watchers were worth against everyone else on your store.

Shopper comparison

Watchers vs everyone else

One card, four numbers: revenue per visitor, conversion rate, how many shoppers watched, and what they spent — each shown against the shoppers who didn't watch.
  • Same purchase window for both groups, so the comparison is fair
  • Choose 1, 7 or 30 days depending on how quickly your customers decide
  • Split by mobile or desktop

Funnel

Find the step that's costing you

Store visitors → widget loaded → saw your videos → watched → opened fullscreen → added to cart → bought. Each step shows how many shoppers got there and what share of the previous step that is.The gaps are diagnostic. Losing shoppers between "widget loaded" and "saw your videos" is a placement problem. Losing them between "saw" and "watched" is a thumbnail problem. You get an answer, not just a number.
Storista Analytics visitor funnel: 120,329 store visitors, 116,720 widget loaded, 84,233 saw video content, 2,411 watched a video, 1,446 opened fullscreen, 219 purchased after watching
Playback surface

In-page reach, fullscreen value

Your videos play in two very different situations, and they perform differently. In-page autoplay reaches far more shoppers. Fullscreen viewers are fewer, watch much longer, and place noticeably larger orders.Storista reports both separately — watch time, conversion rate, average order value and revenue per visitor — so you can decide whether to chase reach or depth.

Content and placements

Know what to make next, and where to put it

Top videos ranks your content across every widget it appears in, so a video used in three places is listed once with its totals combined. Sort by watch time, click-through rate, add-to-carts or revenue.Top widgets does the same for placements — the same video can perform very differently in a homepage carousel and on a product page.

What we don't claim

Straight answers about the numbers

Watchers aren't a random group

Shoppers choose whether to watch, so the two groups were never alike to begin with. Someone who stops for a product video usually arrived interested. What you get here answers a practical question: are the shoppers who engage with your videos worth more? That's enough to decide where to put videos and what to film next. It doesn't prove the video caused the sale.

Our numbers won't match Shopify or Meta exactly

Every platform counts on a different basis. Shopify counts by order date. Ad platforms credit clicks and views inside their own windows. We count by the day someone engaged with your video. Expect the same story in all three, with different figures attached. For total revenue, Shopify is the number to trust.

Average order value usually barely moves

Video tends to change how often people buy rather than how much they spend per order. We put watcher and non-watcher AOV side by side instead of turning them into a flattering ratio. For most stores they end up close, and that's worth seeing plainly.

Recent days are incomplete on purpose

With a 30-day window, yesterday has had one day to collect purchases and will keep climbing for the next month. We flag those days so the dip doesn't read as real.

Questions merchants ask

What counts as a watched video?

Three seconds of playback, in-page or fullscreen.

Do I need to install anything beyond the app?

No. The widget and the Shopify web pixel are set up when you install, and analytics start collecting immediately.

How long until the numbers are useful?

Impressions and click-through rate within a day. The shopper comparisons need about a week of traffic at the 7-day window, or a month at 30 days.

Is any personal data collected?

No. An anonymous browser identifier links a video view to a later order on the same store. No names or emails, and nothing shared between stores.

What if my store doesn't have much traffic yet?

Engagement metrics work from day one. Comparisons that need a minimum number of shoppers stay hidden until there's enough data, rather than showing a figure based on a handful of visitors.

Does this work with my theme?

Yes — any Shopify theme, no code changes required.
