When you set up Okendo to integrate with Google Analytics (GA), you can learn how your customer-generate content directly impacts your conversion rates, revenue, and average order values. You can also see how many transactions are a result of your customer's interaction with your reviews widget. As long as you have Google Analytics set up in your Shopify account and you turned on ecommerce tracking, Okendo uses this integration to capture and send widget events to GA.

Interaction events captured in Okendo
An interaction event happens whenever a customer engages with your reviews widgets in these ways:
Clicks Show More reviews
Filters or sorts through your reviews
Clicks the star icons at the top of the product or collection page
Clicks an image or video to enlarge it
Clicks up-vote or down-vote on a review
Okendo captures these events and then sends them to Google Analytics. After GA collects at least 3-4 weeks of events, you can then run our pre-built report to see the exact impact on your bottom line.
Note: We cannot currently count people who simply scrolled and read reviews if they don't click the widget, which means you can consider the event numbers to be conservative.
