Hi everyone :waving_hand:

I’m a developer talking to Shopify store owners to validate an idea I’m working on.
I’m not promoting anything and I won’t share links.

I’m trying to understand how store owners actually evaluate product performance.

Questions:
• How do you know which products get interest but don’t convert?
• Do wishlists or views influence your decisions in any real way?
• What part of Shopify analytics feels unclear or unhelpful?

Honest answers (even “this isn’t a problem”) are very helpful.
Thanks in advance.
