Since two weeks ago, I get a lot of traffic from India and Pakistan from websites like glance and roposos and a lot of traffic of Youtube, which is weird. How can I filter on this, so I can only see traffic that from my target group (the Netherlands?)
Topic summary
Issue: A sudden spike in visitors from India and Pakistan, with referrals from sites like Glance and Roposos and notable YouTube traffic. The store owner wants to analyze only traffic from the Netherlands to assess conversion accurately.
Proposed step: Use Shopify Analytics → Reports → “Sessions by location” to filter traffic by country. For revenue insights, “Sales by billing location” shows sales by region.
Clarification: The concern is specifically about visitor traffic and odd referral sources, not sales. These referrals make conversion calculations unreliable.
What’s missing: No method provided to exclude or filter out unwanted referral sources or potential spam/bot traffic from analytics. No guidance on segmenting reports by referrer beyond location.
Status: Unresolved. Key open question: how to filter visitor data (by referrer/source) to focus on the Dutch target audience and remove noise from suspicious websites.
Hi @Lisa_Schotman ,
Thank you for being part of the Shopify community! To filter the traffic based on country, go to Analytics → Reports → Select “Sessions by location”. You can also select “Sales by billing location” to see how many sales you had in one specific location.
Thank you for your answer. It is only not about the sales, but about the visitors, visitors are coming from strange websites which makes it hard to make a clear calculation for my conversation.
