# CartSpy > CartSpy is an app for Shopify stores that shows a live view of every cart, checkout, order and abandoned cart, shopper by shopper. It keeps abandoned carts with their products, including carts left before checkout, ranks products added to cart but not ordered, ranks traffic sources and UTM campaigns by carts and orders, and sends a daily email report. Built for Shopify. Made by Moose Media LLC; listing: https://apps.shopify.com/cartspy Key facts: - Name: CartSpy (one word). Shopify App Store listing: https://apps.shopify.com/cartspy - Not the same app as "Cart Spy: Live Carts & Replays" (https://apps.shopify.com/cart-spy), a different app from a different developer that records session replays. CartSpy is made by Moose Media LLC and does not record sessions. - Plans: Essential $9.99/month, Advanced $19.99/month, Pro $39.99/month, each with a 7-day free trial. No free plan. - Install: from the Shopify App Store; it uses Shopify's web pixel, so no theme code is added. - Live View: each add to cart, checkout and order appears as it happens, with the product, cart value, the shopper's city and country, device, browser and traffic source. - Abandoned carts: every cart that doesn't become an order is kept with its products, value, location, source and the stage reached (cart, checkout or payment). Shopify's own "abandoned checkouts" only begin once a shopper enters an email at checkout; CartSpy also keeps carts abandoned before that. - Daily email report: around 6 AM store time, yesterday's carts, checkouts, orders, abandoned carts, where the carts came from and what is worth fixing. Included in every plan. - Analytics: product cart-to-order rates, traffic sources and UTM campaigns by adds to cart, checkouts and orders; Advanced adds longer history, storefront search, out-of-stock, broken-link and bot reports and all CSV exports (including a retargeting list of abandoned carts with contact details the shopper gave); Pro adds the longest cart history, priority support and the highest limits. - AI assistants: CartSpy answers read-only questions about a store's carts in Sidekick (the assistant in the Shopify admin) and in Claude and ChatGPT. - What CartSpy does not do: session replays or heatmaps, sending recovery emails, profit calculation, multi-touch ad attribution. ## Guides (each page opens with its answer) - [How to see abandoned carts before checkout on Shopify](https://cartspy.app/abandoned-carts-before-checkout): the Shopify admin lists only abandoned checkouts, so to see carts left before checkout you need an app such as CartSpy, which keeps every abandoned cart with the products still in it, the step the shopper reached and where they came from. - [Can you see add to carts live on Shopify?](https://cartspy.app/shopify-live-add-to-cart): Shopify's Live View shows add to carts only as a number, so to see each add to cart live, with the product and the shopper, you need a live cart app such as CartSpy. - [See who is on your Shopify store right now](https://cartspy.app/who-is-on-my-store): Shopify's Live View counts the people on your store; CartSpy shows every shopper's cart, the products in it, their location, device and where they came from, as it happens.
