Analytics for E-commerce
Tracking conversions, AOV, and customer lifetime value
The Ecommerce Challenge
Analytics needs vary significantly based on your business context. Ecommerce have unique requirements that generic solutions don't always address.
Build, Vibe, or Buy?
When to Build
Building custom analytics makes sense for ecommerce when you have proprietary processes that no off-the-shelf tool supports. Expect 3-6 months of development.
When to Vibe Code
Vibe coding (AI-assisted development) is ideal for ecommerce who need rapid customization. With tools like Cursor and Claude, you can build tailored solutions in weeks instead of months.
When to Buy
Buying established analytics tools makes sense when you're growing fast and need proven reliability. The subscription cost is usually worth the time saved.
Our Take for Ecommerce
Most ecommerce should start with vibe coding for customization, then migrate to a bought solution as they scale. The flexibility is worth it early on.
