For shopify merchants
Takes bot traffic out of your store's numbers so you see real visitors and real conversion.
Winnow re-counts your store's traffic with the bots taken out: real sessions, conversion and per-channel figures, and which days had a bot wave. Every session called a bot has its reasons in plain words: known crawlers, headless browsers, referrer spam, data-centre addresses, bursts from one address, impossible speed. A session with a paid order always counts as a person. It also estimates what bots cost you in paid ad clicks and apps that bill per session or sign-up. It never blocks a visitor.
On its way to the Shopify App Store. Write to us and we will set your store up first - it is billed through your Shopify bill, like any app.
The problem
The store's own numbers with the bots taken out: real sessions, real conversion rate and real per-channel figures, with every bot's reasons shown — and what the bots are costing in ad clicks and session-billed apps.
- How many of my sessions were people?
- What is my conversion rate once the bots are out?
- Which channel is padded — is my paid traffic real?
- Which days had a bot wave, and where did it come from?
- Why is this session called a bot? (Every one has its reasons in words.)
What it does
Inside Winnow
sessions reported against real visitors, bot share, conversion reported against real conversion, what the bots cost a month, every problem in words with a "Show me", day-by-day columns (real under bots) and a table of each day both ways, and why the bots are bots.
every session with its verdict, points and signs; filter by verdict, sign, channel, day or any text (address, browser, page, country). Click one for every reason in a sentence, the session's details, and every other session from the same address.
each channel as reported and with the bots out: sessions, bots, real visitors, orders, revenue, both conversion rates, and the paid clicks that went to bots.
each sign on or off and its points, the bot line and the suspect line, what each sign measures, the lists the signs read (crawler words, headless words, referrer spam sites, data-centre networks and ranges, your allow list), your markets, the click price and the apps billed by session or sign-up.
shop name, look, bring in a CSV session log, backup / restore / sample / erase. Records live in this browser under the localStorage key winnow.v1. Save a backup file from Settings now and then. A record that cannot be read is set aside under its own key, never written over.
