Monitoring when a customer adds their first item to their cart

[agiledigital]

Is there a way to monitor or log when a customer adds their first item to their cart? When I'm looking at the order logs it only starts from when the order was placed. Is they a way to take this a step further and have some kind of log of when they started their shopping journey?

@agiledigital you can log and monitor when a customer adds their first item to the cart. To achieve this, you can create a custom script that captures the event of adding an item to the cart and logs it in a database or a file.

Here's a high-level example of what this could look like:

1. Listen for the "Add to Cart" event: When a customer clicks the "Add to Cart" button on your website, you can listen for the event using JavaScript and trigger a custom function.

2. Log the event: In the custom function, you can log the event along with relevant information such as the customer's ID, the time, and the product details.

3. Store the log: You can store the log in a database or a file, depending on your needs and resources.

This way, you can have a log of when the customer started their shopping journey by adding their first item to the cart. You can then use this information to gain insights into customer behavior and improve their shopping experience.
