Market Basket Analysis & Association Rule Mining on Shopify

[dre_6]

Is there a report on Shopify that deals with Association Rule Mining (a.k.a. Market Basket Analysis), and if not, has anyone been able to simply conduct such an analysis with sales data exported off the Shopify dashboard?

For example, the business goal is to determine if there is a pattern in terms of whether there are certain products that are bought with other products. That is, is there a pattern in boot sales and the sale of socks, or belt sales and the sale of pants?

Hi there, @dre_6. Thanks for taking the time to reach out to the Shopify Community with your question around reports! My name is Imogen. It's good to meet you!

At this time, there is no report natively built into Shopify that can be used to view what products are commonly purchased with others. We've received a good amount of feedback around this functionality and reporting however, so I'm happy to pass your feedback along to our team for their consideration in a future update.

In the meantime, you will want to make use of third party reporting applications in order to compile this data into a report. We have a multitude of third party reporting apps that can be used to help create this report using the data from your store, so I definitely recommend taking the time to scout out some of these apps and see if you can find one that best fits your needs!

Thanks. I'll have a look at the third party solutions.

Thank you. If we don't come right with the third party applications, we'll let you know with regards to a bespoke solution.
