The Tracking and Analytics integrations in Vev help you understand how users interact with your site. These tools enable data-driven decisions by letting you:

  • Monitor user sessions and behavior.

  • Track conversions and campaign performance.

  • Optimize site functionality and marketing efforts

Important note: Vev does not collect or track customer data, and we do not provide an internal tracking tool. Instead, we offer integrations so you can connect your site with trusted third-party analytics platforms. This ensures you remain in control of your data while gaining insights through the tools you prefer.

If your preferred analytics platform isn’t listed, Vev also supports Custom HTML Snippets and Custom Scripts so that you can connect almost any third-party tool.
