Best Analytics Tools for Small E-Commerce Stores

How to pick the right insights platform for your business size

Most analytics platforms are built for enterprise teams with dedicated data analysts — not small business owners wearing multiple hats. If you're running a Shopify, WooCommerce, or BigCommerce store, you need tools that surface insights automatically, not bury them in dashboards.

The problem? Traditional analytics show you what happened — traffic went up, bounce rate changed, conversions dipped. But they don't tell you why it happened or what to do about it.
