Crevio includes a built-in analytics dashboard that gives you a clear view of how your store is performing. From revenue trends to traffic sources, you can monitor the metrics that matter without leaving your dashboard.

​
Analytics dashboard

The analytics page is available under Analytics in your dashboard. It shows data for a configurable date range (defaulting to the last 30 days) and compares it against the previous period so you can spot trends at a glance. The dashboard auto-refreshes every 60 seconds, so the numbers stay current as new orders and visits come in.

​
Key metrics

The main chart at the top of the page lets you toggle between four primary metrics:
MetricWhat it tracks
LeadsNew lead customers acquired per day — people who provided their email through a free checkout or waitlist.
SessionsStorefront visits per day. A session represents a single visitor’s browsing activity.
OrdersOrders placed per day across all products.
RevenueTotal revenue collected per day, displayed in your account’s default currency.
Each metric shows:
  • The total for the selected period
  • A percentage change compared to the previous period of equal length
  • A day-by-day trend line
Use the date range selector to zoom in on a specific promotion, launch, or time window. The previous-period comparison adjusts automatically.

​
Traffic analytics

Below the main chart, you will find detailed breakdowns of your storefront traffic:

​
Visits by device

See how your visitors are accessing your store — desktop, mobile, or tablet. This helps you prioritize design and testing for the devices your audience actually uses.

​
Visits by source

Understand where your traffic comes from. Sources include direct visits, search engines, social media platforms, referral links, and any UTM-tagged campaigns you are running.

​
Visits by page

See which pages on your storefront get the most views. Use this to identify your best-performing products, landing pages, and content.

​
Visits by country

View a geographic breakdown of your visitors. This can help you decide whether to add support for additional currencies, languages, or region-specific promotions.

​
Sales by discount code

Track how your discount codes are performing. This chart shows revenue generated through each active discount code, so you can measure the impact of your promotions and decide which codes to keep, extend, or retire.

​
Dashboard overview

Your main Dashboard page also surfaces key analytics at a glance:
  • Monthly page views — Total storefront views in the last 30 days
  • Monthly revenue — Total revenue from successful orders in the last 30 days
  • Monthly orders — Number of orders placed in the last 30 days
  • Recent orders — The five most recent orders with customer details

​
PostHog integration

For deeper product analytics, Crevio integrates with PostHog. PostHog provides:
  • Event tracking — Detailed tracking of user interactions across your dashboard and storefront
  • User identification — Automatic identification of logged-in users for cohort analysis
  • Session recordings — Watch how buyers interact with your checkout and product pages
  • Feature flags — Roll out new features gradually to subsets of your audience
PostHog runs alongside Crevio’s built-in analytics, so you get both a high-level overview in your dashboard and granular event-level data when you need to dig deeper.

​
Built-in event tracking with Ahoy

Under the hood, Crevio uses Ahoy to track visits and events on your storefront. Ahoy records:
  • Visits — Each unique visitor session, including referrer, device type, browser, OS, and geographic location
  • Events — Specific actions taken during a visit, scoped to your account
This data powers the analytics dashboard and is stored within your Crevio account. It is not shared with third parties.
Analytics data is scoped to your account. If you manage multiple accounts, each has its own independent analytics.

​
Site analytics

Every published Crevio app gets its own real-time site analytics dashboard, available under Analytics → Site analytics. It’s modelled on Plausible: a clean, single-page view of how people are using your site, with no setup required. Once you publish your site, data starts flowing immediately.

​
What’s tracked

  • Pageviews and unique visitors — in real time, with a live “current visitors” counter
  • Top pages — which URLs get the most traffic
  • Top sources — where visitors are coming from. You can switch between:
    • Referrers — the external sites that linked to yours (e.g. google.com, producthunt.com)
    • UTM source / medium / campaign — if you tag your campaign links with ?utm_source=newsletter&utm_medium=email&..., those break down here
  • Locations — countries, regions, and cities your visitors come from
  • Tech — browsers, operating systems, and devices (desktop / mobile / tablet)
  • Custom events and revenue — when your site fires events like add_to_cart or purchase, they show up with hit counts and any value you pass through (see Custom events)
  • New vs returning visitors
  • Goal funnel — the share of visitors who progress from landing → product page → checkout → purchase
  • Revenue by source — which traffic source generated which orders (see Revenue attribution)
  • Outbound link clicks and file downloads — automatically captured whenever a visitor clicks a link to another domain or to a file (PDF, ZIP, video, etc.)

​
What is not collected

  • No IP addresses are stored
  • No browser fingerprinting
  • No third-party tracking scripts
  • No data is sold or shared with anyone

​
Cookies

Crevio site analytics sets exactly one first-party cookie:
CookieValueLifetimePurpose
_crevio_vidRandom 32-character hex string180 daysIdentifies a returning visitor across pages and across days, and ties their pageviews to orders for revenue attribution
This cookie contains no personal information — just a random ID generated by the visitor’s own browser. Crevio cannot use it to identify anyone. It’s a first-party cookie, scoped to your site only, and isn’t shared with any other domain.
EU merchants: under the GDPR/ePrivacy Directive, analytics cookies generally require visitor consent. Crevio’s analytics cookie counts as a first-party analytics cookie. France, Spain, and Italy explicitly exempt first-party analytics from the consent requirement; the proposed EU Digital Omnibus (Nov 2025) would extend that exemption EU-wide. If you sell to other EU countries, the safest move is to include _crevio_vid in your cookie banner under “Analytics” and let visitors opt out. We’re tracking the regulation and will update this guidance when the Omnibus is finalized.

​
Privacy signals we honor

  • Global Privacy Control (Sec-GPC: 1) — 12 US states require websites to recognize GPC as a binding opt-out signal in 2026. When a visitor’s browser sends this signal, the tracker skips everything: no cookie, no pageview, no events.
  • Do Not Track — DNT is no longer legally enforceable (per 2026 regulatory guidance) and is superseded by GPC. We do not separately check the DNT header.
  • Localhost and development domains — the tracker skips itself entirely when running on localhost, *.local, *.test, or *.localhost.

​
Custom events

Your site can fire custom events from JavaScript to track meaningful actions like add-to-cart, signup, video play, or purchase: 
window.crevio("add_to_cart", { value: 49.99, item_id: "sku-123" });
window.crevio("signup");
window.crevio("purchase", { value: 199.00, order_id: "ord_abc" });
The first argument is the event name. The optional second argument is a small bag of extra properties:
  • Use snake_case event names, with present-tense verbs: add_to_cart, start_checkout, submit_form. Don’t use past tense (added_to_cart) or PascalCase (AddToCart).
  • Pass numeric value if the event is associated with money. It powers the revenue column in the Custom events panel and is summed across hits.
  • Keep prop values short. The server keeps at most 8 keys per event, and each value is capped at 200 characters.
Events appear in the Custom events panel of the Site analytics dashboard within a minute.

​
Revenue attribution

Crevio ties every paid order back to the visitor’s first-touch traffic source, so you can answer questions like “How much revenue did my Product Hunt launch actually drive?” without leaving the dashboard. How it works:
  1. A visitor lands on your site (say, ?utm_source=producthunt)
  2. The tracker sets the _crevio_vid cookie
  3. The visitor browses, eventually completes a checkout
  4. The checkout records the same _crevio_vid value on the order
  5. The Revenue by source panel groups completed orders by the visitor’s first-touch source (UTM source if present, otherwise the referring website, otherwise “Direct”), so you see total revenue per acquisition channel
If a visitor blocks cookies or fires Global Privacy Control, their orders show up in your normal Orders list but aren’t attributed in the Revenue by source panel.

​
Disabling site analytics

Crevio site analytics is enabled by default on every published app. If you’d rather opt out — for example, because you use Google Analytics or another tool exclusively — contact support and we’ll disable injection on your account.
