Shopify Custom Web Pixel - Cart Events
We've released two new Shopify Web Pixel events that enable capturing of cart interactions. These events will help build a robust understanding of your customer journeys in custom reports. If you’re a query engine customer speak to your Customer Success Manager about how to query these events directly.
