Events are a powerful way of observing the various behaviors of your customers and understanding how they are interacting with your business. Events are defined as any interaction a customer has with the business through a recognized touchpoint. These could include clicks from ads, page views, email opens, review submitted and so on.

Lifesight captures these events via the native integration with Shopify or via Lifesight Pixel. Each event that is captured also has metadata, which provides pertinent information about the event.

How exactly does this work? Take for instance, shopify identifies and records a 'Started Checkout' event when a customer initiates checkout. Lifesight subsequently accesses and logs this information. Additionally, Shopify periodically provides Lifesight with updates on various aspects, such as the products in the cart, quantity of each item, and the total value of the cart. This data is then stored by Lifesight as a customer event, linked to a specific individual, encompassing comprehensive details of that customer's purchasing behavior.
