How to send events from cart to analytics apps

This guide explains how to track specific user events that occur within the Corner Cart application. Integrating these events with your analytics platform (e.g., Growlytics, Mixpanel) is crucial for optimizing the user experience and understanding cart behavior in your store.

⚙️ Prerequisites

Before implementing event tracking, ensure your chosen analytics platform is properly integrated with your store via its JavaScript snippet, and have the platform's event capture function ready.

Note: This document focuses exclusively on obtaining event data from Corner Cart. For details on setting up your analytics account or application, please refer to your platform's dedicated support team.

🎯 How to Implement Event Tracking

All event tracking is managed via a custom JavaScript listener placed in the Corner Cart settings.

Implementation Steps

1. Navigate to the Corner Cart app.
2. Go to Cart drawer > Advanced Settings.
3. Paste the required JavaScript snippets into the "Custom JS Script" area.

The core function for listening to events is corner.on(eventName, callback).

📦 Available Cart Events

Corner Cart exposes a set of events that capture various user interactions.

🛠️ Event Listener Snippets

Below are the specific code snippets you will paste into the "Custom JS Script" area. Remember to replace the comment with your analytics platform's event capture code.

1. Track Cart Edits (onCartEdit)

Captures any change to the cart's contents (add, remove, quantity update).

JavaScript

corner.on("onCartEdit", (params) => {
  // Insert the event capture snippet from your analytics app here
  console.log("Cart Edited:", params);
});

2. Track Cart Widget Interactions

Open Cart Widget (onCowiOpen)

JavaScript

corner.on("onCowiOpen", (params) => {
  // Insert the event capture snippet from your analytics app here
});

Close Cart Widget (onCowiClose)

JavaScript

corner.on("onCowiClose", (params) => {
  // Insert the event capture snippet from your analytics app here
});

3. Track Checkout Click (onCartCtaClick)

Captures clicks on the primary Call to Action (usually "Checkout").

JavaScript

corner.on("onCartCtaClick", (params) => {
  // Insert the event capture snippet from your analytics app here
});

4. Track Upsell Product Interactions

Upsell CTA Click (onUpsellCtaClick)

Captures clicks on a CTA for an upsell product featured inside the cart.

JavaScript

corner.on("onUpsellCtaClick", (params) => {
  // Insert the event capture snippet from your analytics app here
});

5. Track Discount Code Management

Discount Code Added (onDiscountCodeAdd)

JavaScript

corner.on("onDiscountCodeAdd", (params) => {
  // Insert the event capture snippet from your analytics app here
});

Discount Code Removed (onDiscountCodeRemove)

JavaScript

corner.on("onDiscountCodeRemove", (params) => {
  // Insert the event capture snippet from your analytics app here
});

6. Track Sticky Add to Cart Click (onSatcCtaClick)

Captures clicks on the CTA in the Sticky Add to Cart bar.

JavaScript

corner.on("onSatcCtaClick", (params) => {
  // Insert the event capture snippet from your analytics app here
});

7. Track Cart Goal Milestones

Milestone Achieved (onCartGoalMilestoneAchieve)

Captures when a user reaches a new milestone in a cart goal campaign.

JavaScript

corner.on("onCartGoalMilestoneAchieve", (params) => {
  // Insert the event capture snippet from your analytics app here
});

Milestone Lost (onCartGoalMilestoneLost)

Captures when a user removes items and drops below the requirement for a previously achieved milestone.

JavaScript

corner.on("onCartGoalMilestoneLost", (params) => {
  // Insert the event capture snippet from your analytics app here
});

Would you like me to help you draft an example of how one of these snippets would look using a generic analytics function, like trackEvent()?
