Fullstory Ecommerce

Fullstory for E-Commerce & Retail

⚠️ LEGAL DISCLAIMER: This guidance is for educational purposes only and does not constitute legal, compliance, or regulatory advice. E-commerce regulations (PCI DSS for payments, GDPR, CCPA, consumer protection laws) vary by jurisdiction. Always consult with your legal and compliance teams before implementing any data capture solution. Your organization is responsible for ensuring compliance with all applicable regulations.

Industry Overview

E-commerce has unique opportunities and requirements for session analytics:

• High analytics value: Product interactions, funnels, conversions directly impact revenue
• Rich behavioral data: Browse patterns, search, filters, comparisons
• PCI compliance: Payment flows require careful handling
• Customer journey focus: Multi-session journeys, cross-device behavior
• A/B testing: Variant analysis is crucial

Key Goals for E-Commerce Implementations

1. Optimize conversion funnels from browse to purchase
2. Understand product engagement (views, interactions, comparisons)
3. Reduce cart abandonment by identifying friction
4. Improve search and discovery UX
5. Analyze post-purchase experience (returns, support)

What Can Be Captured in E-Commerce

Unlike banking, e-commerce has more data that can (and should) be captured:

Marketplace Considerations

For multi-vendor marketplaces, additional considerations apply:

// Marketplace: Track seller interaction without revealing seller economics
FS('trackEvent', {
  name: 'seller_product_viewed',
  properties: {
    product_category: 'electronics',
    seller_rating_band: '4.5-5.0',       // Band, not exact rating
    seller_review_volume: 'high',         // "high", "medium", "low"
    marketplace_verified: true
    // NEVER: seller revenue, exact sales, or seller contact info
  }
});

User Identification Pattern

// E-Commerce: Multiple identification stages

// 1. Anonymous visitor (before account creation)
// Fullstory auto-assigns anonymous ID

// 2. Email captured (newsletter, cart)
function onEmailCapture(email) {
  // Option A: Use hashed email (for cross-device matching)
  FS('setIdentity', {
    uid: sha256(email.toLowerCase().trim())
  });
  
  // Option B: Wait for account creation, use customer ID
  // (Preferred if you have account system)
}

// 3. Account created or logged in
function onLogin(customer) {
  FS('setIdentity', {
    uid: customer.id,  // e.g., "cust_12345"
    displayName: customer.firstName  // Just first name
  });
  
  FS('setProperties', {
    type: 'user',
    properties: {
      // Customer value metrics
      customer_type: customer.isGuest ? 'guest' : 'registered',
      account_age_days: daysSince(customer.createdAt),
      lifetime_order_count: customer.orderCount,
      lifetime_value_band: getValueBand(customer.ltv),  // "$0-100", "$100-500", etc.
      
      // Engagement signals
      has_wishlist: customer.wishlistCount > 0,
      has_saved_payment: customer.hasSavedPayment,
      email_subscribed: customer.emailOptIn,
      loyalty_tier: customer.loyaltyTier,  // "bronze", "silver", "gold"
      
      // Preferences
      preferred_category: customer.topCategory,
      preferred_brand: customer.topBrand,
      
      // Technical
      app_installed: customer.hasApp,
      push_enabled: customer.pushOptIn
    }
  });

Cart Abandonment Analysis

function onAddToCart(product, source) {

    properties: {
      product_id: product.id,

Common E-Commerce Patterns

Product Interaction Tracking Component

// React component for product cards with built-in tracking
function ProductCard({ product, listType, position }) {
  const handleClick = () => {
    FS('trackEvent', {
      name: 'product_clicked',
      properties: {
        product_id: product.id,
        product_name: product.name,
        price: product.price,
        list_type: listType,  // "search", "category", "recommendation", "cart_upsell"
        position: position
      }
    });
  };
  
  const handleAddToCart = (e) => {
    e.stopPropagation();
    FS('trackEvent', {
      name: 'product_added_to_cart',
      properties: {
        product_id: product.id,
        product_name: product.name,
        price: product.price,
        add_source: listType
      }
    });
    // Add to cart logic...
  };
  
  const handleWishlist = (e) => {
    e.stopPropagation();
    FS('trackEvent', {
      name: 'product_added_to_wishlist',
      properties: {
        product_id: product.id,
        product_name: product.name,
        price: product.price
      }
    });
    // Wishlist logic...
  };
  
  return (
    <div 
      className="product-card fs-unmask"
     
      data-fs-element="Product Card"
      data-fs-properties-schema={JSON.stringify({
        product_id: 'string',
        product_name: 'string',
        price: 'real'
      })}
    >
      <img src={product.image} alt={product.name} />
      <h3>{product.name}</h3>
      <p className="price">${product.price}</p>
      <button to Cart</button>
      <button
    </div>
  );
}

Customer Lifetime Value Bands

// Convert LTV to privacy-safe bands
function getValueBand(ltv) {
  if (ltv === 0) return 'new';
  if (ltv < 100) return '$1-$99';
  if (ltv < 500) return '$100-$499';
  if (ltv < 1000) return '$500-$999';
  if (ltv < 5000) return '$1k-$5k';
  return '$5k+';
}

A/B Testing Integration

// Track A/B test variant
FS('setProperties', {
  type: 'user',
  properties: {
    // Experiment tracking
    ab_checkout_flow: experimentVariant('checkout_flow'),  // "control", "variant_a"
    ab_product_recommendations: experimentVariant('recommendations'),
    ab_search_algorithm: experimentVariant('search')
  }
});

// Track variant-specific events
function trackExperimentExposure(experimentName, variant) {
  FS('trackEvent', {
    name: 'experiment_exposure',
    properties: {
      experiment_name: experimentName,
      variant: variant,
      page: currentPage
    }
  });
}

KEY TAKEAWAYS FOR AGENT

When helping e-commerce clients with Fullstory:

1. Product data is valuable: Unlike banking, product names/prices/categories are core analytics - capture them
2. PCI compliance still applies: Payment forms must be excluded
3. Cart abandonment is gold: Track every step of the funnel
4. Element properties on product cards: Enable click analysis
5. Search queries are usually OK: But review for PII patterns (searching for people's names, addresses)
6. Customer PII should be masked: Names, addresses, emails
7. Order details are valuable: Capture order totals, item counts, product details

Questions to Ask E-Commerce Clients

1. "Are you tracking product impressions as well as clicks?"
2. "How are you handling checkout abandonment?"
3. "Are your product cards using Element Properties?"
4. "What payment methods do you support? (PayPal, Apple Pay, Klarna)"
5. "Do you have A/B tests you want to analyze in Fullstory?"

Common Mistakes

• Over-excluding product information (it's not PII!)
• Not tracking the full add-to-cart to purchase funnel
• Missing Element Properties on interactive elements
• Not tracking search with no results
• Excluding the entire checkout instead of just payment fields
