Shopify Analytics 2025: Aligning Multi-Channel Data for Growth
Paul Grieselhuber
Founder, director
Shopify brands now sell across their own sites, Amazon, TikTok Shop, and social storefronts while funding ads on various platforms. Bringing that data together is no longer a luxury; it is a necessity. With global online sales projected at $6.3 trillion this year, having deeper insight serves as a powerful lever for merchants.
Why Blending Data Matters
Each channel produces separate figures for revenue, acquisition cost, and lifetime value. Without a unified view, the effectiveness of ad expenditures and profitability of sales channels can be obscured. Modern analytics tools help resolve this by connecting data silos and delivering comprehensive insights swiftly.
