Android Ecommerce Activity Tracking

Reteno's e-commerce activity tracking helps to learn about the customer journey and use this data in your analytics.

The list of supported events:

Event type	Description
productViewed	Tracking the product cards visited by a user. The event is used for ranking items / categories and sending triggers for browse abandonment.
productCategoryViewed	Tracking the product categories viewed by a user. The event is used for the triggers like Website visit with a category view and Website visit without a category view.
productAddedToWishlist	Tracking products added to the wishlist. The event is used for processing and displaying recommendations and sending the wishlist related triggers.
cartUpdated	Tracking updates of the shopping cart. The event is used for the shopping cart related triggers.
orderCreated	An order creation event.
orderUpdated	An order updating event.
orderDelivered	The existing order status changes to DELIVERED.
orderCancelled	The existing order status changes to CANCELLED.
searchRequest	Tracking the search requests. The event is used for the triggers like Abandoned search.

Use the following method for activity tracking:

Reteno.logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent: EcomEvent)

Reteno.logEcommerceEvent(EcomEvent ecomEvent)

Provide all the required parameters for the EcomEvent model.

Base EcomEvent model

sealed class EcomEvent(open val occurred: ZonedDateTime)

This means that any child EcomEvent must contain the information about the time of event occurrence.

Product Viewed

Fire this event when a user views a product card.

The ProductViewed event model:

data class ProductViewed @JvmOverloads constructor(
    val product: ProductView,
    val currencyCode: String? = null,
    override val occurred: ZonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now()
) : EcomEvent(occurred)

CurrencyCode must be in ISO 4217 format. Supported currencies: USD, EUR, UAH. If the currency is not set, the organization's default currency is used.

The ProductView model:

data class ProductView(
    val productId: String,
    val price: Double,
    val isInStock: int,
    val attributes: List<Attributes>? = null
)

Attributes is a list of the arbitrary parameters that may be added to the ProductView model:

data class Attributes(
    val name: String,
    val value: List<String?>
)

Usage example

val attributes = listOf(Attributes("key", listOf("parameterValue")))
val productView = ProductView("productId", 123.33, true, attributes)
val ecomEvent: EcomEvent = EcomEvent.ProductViewed(productView, "USD")
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent)

List<Attributes> attributes = new ArrayList<>();
attributes.add(new Attributes("key", Collections.singletonList("parameterValue")));
ProductView productView = new ProductView("productId", 123.33, true, attributes);
EcomEvent ecomEvent = new EcomEvent.ProductViewed(productView, "USD");
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent);

Product Category Viewed

Fire this event when a user views a category.

The ProductCategoryViewed event model:

data class ProductCategoryViewed @JvmOverloads constructor(
    val category: ProductCategoryView,
    override val occurred: ZonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now()
) : EcomEvent(occurred)

The ProductCategoryView model:

data class ProductCategoryView(
    val productCategoryId: String,
    val attributes: List<Attributes>? = null
)

Attributes is a list of the arbitrary parameters that may be added to the ProductCategoryView model:

data class Attributes(
    val name: String,
    val value: List<String?>
)

Usage example

val attributes = listOf(Attributes("key", listOf("parameterValue")))
val productCategoryView = ProductCategoryView("productCategoryId", attributes)
val ecomEvent: EcomEvent = EcomEvent.ProductCategoryViewed(productCategoryView)
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent)

List<Attributes> attributes = new ArrayList<>();
attributes.add(new Attributes("key", Collections.singletonList("parameterValue")));
ProductCategoryView productCategoryView = new ProductCategoryView("productCategoryId", attributes);
EcomEvent ecomEvent = new EcomEvent.ProductCategoryViewed(productCategoryView);
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent);

Product Added to Wishlist

Fire this event when a user adds a product to the wishlist.

The ProductAddedToWishlist event model:

data class ProductAddedToWishlist @JvmOverloads constructor(
    val product: ProductView,
    val currencyCode: String? = null,
    override val occurred: ZonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now()
) : EcomEvent(occurred)

CurrencyCode must be in ISO 4217 format. Supported currencies: USD, EUR, UAH. If the currency is not set, the organization's default currency is used.

The ProductView model:

data class ProductView(
    val productId: String,
    val price: Double,
    val isInStock: int,
    val attributes: List<Attributes>? = null
)

Attributes is a list of the arbitrary parameters that may be added to the ProductView model:

data class Attributes(
    val name: String,
    val value: List<String?>
)

Usage example

val attributes = listOf(Attributes("key", listOf("parameterValue")))
val productView = ProductView("productId", 123.33, true, attributes)
val ecomEvent: EcomEvent = EcomEvent.ProductAddedToWishlist(productView, "USD")
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent)

List<Attributes> attributes = new ArrayList<>();
attributes.add(new Attributes("key", Collections.singletonList("parameterValue")));
ProductView productView = new ProductView("productId", 123.33, true, attributes);
EcomEvent ecomEvent = new EcomEvent.ProductAddedToWishlist(productView, "USD");
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent);

Cart Updated

Fire this event when a user updates a shopping cart.

The cartUpdated event transmits not the fact of adding a specific product to the cart, but the current state of the cart. If the first product is added to the cart, then an array with one product is passed in the cartUpdated event. If a second, third, etc. product is added, then an array of two, three, etc. products is transmitted in the cartUpdated events. The same logic works when removing products from the cart.

In each cartUpdated event, the cartId parameter must be passed. This is a unique identifier of the current state of the cart. Each time you send the cartUpdated event, you must pass a new cartId value that will be different from the previous ones.

The cartUpdated event model:

data class CartUpdated @JvmOverloads constructor(
    val cartId: String,
    val products: List<ProductInCart>,
    val currencyCode: String? = null,
    override val occurred: ZonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now()
) : EcomEvent(occurred)

CurrencyCode must be in the ISO 4217 format. Supported currencies: USD, EUR, UAH. If the currency is not set, the organization's default currency is used.

The ProductInCart model:

data class ProductInCart(
    val productId: String,
    val quantity: Int,
    val price: Double,
    val discount: Double? = null,
    val name: String? = null,
    val category: String? = null,
    val attributes: List<Attributes>? = null
)

Attributes is a list of the arbitrary parameters that may be added to the ProductView model:

data class Attributes(
    val name: String,
    val value: List<String?>
)

Usage example

val attributes = listOf(Attributes("key", listOf("parameterValue")))
val productInCart = ProductInCart(
    "productId",
    12,
    11.05,
    0.05,
    "productName",
    "productCategory",
    attributes
)
val products = listOf(productInCart)
val ecomEvent: EcomEvent = EcomEvent.CartUpdated("cartId", products, "USD")
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent)

List<Attributes> attributes = new ArrayList<>();
attributes.add(new Attributes("key", Collections.singletonList("parameterValue")));
ProductInCart productInCart = new ProductInCart(
        "productId",
        12,
        11.05,
        0.05,
        "productName",
        "productCategory",
        attributes);
List<ProductInCart> products = Collections.singletonList(productInCart);
EcomEvent ecomEvent = new EcomEvent.CartUpdated("cartId", products, "USD");
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent);

Order Сreated

Fire this event when a user creates an order.

The OrderCreated event model:

data class OrderCreated @JvmOverloads constructor(
    val order: Order,
    val currencyCode: String? = null,
    override val occurred: ZonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now()
) : EcomEvent(occurred)

CurrencyCode must be in the ISO 4217 format. Supported currencies: USD, EUR, UAH. If the currency is not set, the organization's default currency is used.

The Order model:

data class Order(
      // The order ID in the external system (required).
    val externalOrderId: String,
    // The ID of a customer in the external system
    val externalCustomerId: String?,
    // The total cost of an order (required).
    val totalCost: Double,
    // The status of an order (required). Possible values: DELIVERED, IN_PROGRESS, CANCELLED, INITIALIZED. Only DELIVERED orders are used in the RFM analysis.
    val status: OrderStatus,
    // The date and time of an order (required).
    val date: ZonedDateTime,
    // The shopping cart ID. Allows to match an order with the shopping cart related events. *Important optional parameter*
    val cartId: String? = null,
    // The customer email address.
    val email: String? = null,
    // The customer phone number.
    val phone: String? = null,
    // The customer first name.
    val firstName: String? = null,
    // The customer last name.
    val lastName: String? = null,
    // Shipping cost.
    val shipping: Double? = null,
    // Discount.
    val discount: Double? = null,
    // The tax amount.
    val taxes: Double? = null,
    // The link to the order.
    val restoreUrl: String? = null,
    // The order status description.
    val statusDescription: String? = null,
    // The store ID (if you manage several stores in one Reteno account).
    val storeId: String? = null,
    // "Online" \ "offline" values for segmentation. If the field is empty or contains any other value, the default value is "online".
    val source: String? = null,
    // Delivery method.
    val deliveryMethod: String? = null,
    // Payment method.
    val paymentMethod: String? = null,
    // Delivery address.
    val deliveryAddress: String? = null,
    // Array of ordered products.
    val items: List<OrderItem>? = null,
    // Additional fields.
    val attributes: List<Attributes>? = null
)

Note: items is a required parameter

Alternatively, you may use the Order.Builder class, as convenient:

data class OrderBuilder(
    val externalOrderId: String,
    val externalCustomerId: String?,
    val totalCost: Double,
    val status: OrderStatus,
    val date: ZonedDateTime
) {
    var cartId: String? = null
    var email: String? = null
    var phone: String? = null
    var firstName: String? = null
    var lastName: String? = null
    var shipping: Double? = null
    var discount: Double? = null
    var taxes: Double? = null
    var restoreUrl: String? = null
    var statusDescription: String? = null
    var storeId: String? = null
    var source: String? = null
    var deliveryMethod: String? = null
    var paymentMethod: String? = null
    var deliveryAddress: String? = null
    var items: List<OrderItem>? = null
    var attributes: List<Attributes>? = null

    fun build(): Order = Order(
        externalOrderId = externalOrderId,
        externalCustomerId = externalCustomerId,
        totalCost = totalCost,
        status = status,
        date = date,
        cartId = cartId,
        email = email,
        phone = phone,
        firstName = firstName,
        lastName = lastName,
        shipping = shipping,
        discount = discount,
        taxes = taxes,
        restoreUrl = restoreUrl,
        statusDescription = statusDescription,
        storeId = storeId,
        source = source,
        deliveryMethod = deliveryMethod,
        paymentMethod = paymentMethod,
        deliveryAddress = deliveryAddress,
        items = items,
        attributes = attributes
    )
}

The OrderItem model:

data class OrderItem(
    // ID of product in the external system (required).
    val externalItemId: String,
    // Product name (required).
    val name: String,
    // Product category (required).
    val category: String,
    // Number of items (required).
    val quantity: Double,
    // Product price (required).
    val cost: Double,
    // Link to product page (required).
    val url: String,
    // Link to a product image.
    val imageUrl: String? = null,
    // Short description of product.
    val description: String? = null
)

Attributes is a list of the arbitrary parameters that may be added to the ProductView model:

data class Attributes(
    val name: String,
    val value: List<String?>
)

Example of usage with `Order.Builder` and `Order`

val attributes: MutableList<Attributes> = ArrayList<Attributes>()
attributes.add(Attributes("key", listOf("parameterValue")))

val orderItem = OrderItem(
    "externalItemId",
    "name",
    "category",
    12.0,
    11.23,
    "https://url.com",
    "https://image.url.com",
    "description"
)
val orderItems = listOf(orderItem)

val order = Order(
    externalOrderId = "externalOrderId",
    externalCustomerId = "externalCustomerId",
    totalCost = 123.44,
    status = OrderStatus.INITIALIZED,
    date = ZonedDateTime.now(),
    cartId = "CartId",
    email = "Email",
    phone = "Phone",
    firstName = "FirstName",
    lastName = "LastName",
    shipping = 12.22,
    discount = 0.05,
    taxes = 0.15,
    restoreUrl = "RestoreUrl",
    statusDescription = "StatusDescription",
    storeId = "StoreId",
    source = "Source",
    deliveryMethod = "DeliveryMethod",
    paymentMethod = "PaymentMethod",
    deliveryAddress = "DeliveryAddress",
    items = orderItems,
    attributes = attributes
)

val ecomEvent: EcomEvent = EcomEvent.OrderCreated(order, "USD")
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent)

List<Attributes> attributes = new ArrayList<>();
attributes.add(new Attributes("key", Collections.singletonList("parameterValue")));

OrderItem orderItem = new OrderItem(
        "externalItemId",
        "name",
        "category",
        12,
        11.23,
        "https://url.com",
        "https://image.url.com",
        "description");
List<OrderItem> orderItems = Collections.singletonList(orderItem);

OrderBuilder orderBuilder = new OrderBuilder(
        "externalOrderId",
        "externalCustomerId",
        123.44,
        OrderStatus.INITIALIZED,
        ZonedDateTime.now()
);
orderBuilder.setCartId("CartId");
orderBuilder.setEmail("Email");
orderBuilder.setPhone("Phone");
orderBuilder.setFirstName("FirstName");
orderBuilder.setLastName("LastName");
orderBuilder.setShipping(12.22);
orderBuilder.setDiscount(0.05);
orderBuilder.setTaxes(0.15);
orderBuilder.setRestoreUrl("RestoreUrl");
orderBuilder.setStatusDescription("StatusDescription");
orderBuilder.setStoreId("StoreId");
orderBuilder.setSource("Source");
orderBuilder.setDeliveryMethod("DeliveryMethod");
orderBuilder.setPaymentMethod("PaymentMethod");
orderBuilder.setDeliveryAddress("DeliveryAddress");
orderBuilder.setItems(orderItems);
orderBuilder.setAttributes(attributes);

EcomEvent ecomEvent = new EcomEvent.OrderCreated(orderBuilder.build(), "USD");
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent);

Order Updated

Fire this event when a user updates the order. This event is very similar to OrderCreated. The only difference is that if an order already exists in the Reteno database, it is updated with the provided parameters. Otherwise, a new order is created using the provided parameters. This is an Upsert method.

Usage example

val ecomEvent: EcomEvent = EcomEvent.OrderUpdated(order, "USD")
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent)

EcomEvent ecomEvent = new EcomEvent.OrderUpdated(orderBuilder.build(), "USD");
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent);

Order Delivered

Fire this event when the status of an order changes to DELIVERED. If an order does not exist, the event is ignored.

The OrderDelivered event model:

data class OrderDelivered @JvmOverloads constructor(
    val externalOrderId: String,
    override val occurred: ZonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now()
) : EcomEvent(occurred)

Usage example

val ecomEvent: EcomEvent = EcomEvent.OrderDelivered("externalOrderId")
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent)

EcomEvent ecomEvent = new EcomEvent.OrderDelivered("externalOrderId");
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent);

Order Cancelled

Fire this event when the status of an order changes to CANCELLED. If an order does not exist, the event is ignored.

The OrderCancelled event model:

data class OrderCancelled @JvmOverloads constructor(
    val externalOrderId: String,
    override val occurred: ZonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now()
) : EcomEvent(occurred)

Usage example

val ecomEvent: EcomEvent = EcomEvent.OrderCancelled("externalOrderId")
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent)

EcomEvent ecomEvent = new EcomEvent.OrderCancelled("externalOrderId");
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent);

Search Request

Track the search requests for the triggers like Abandoned search.

The SearchRequest event model:

data class SearchRequest @JvmOverloads constructor(
    val search: String,
    val isFound: Boolean = false,
    override val occurred: ZonedDateTime = ZonedDateTime.now()
) : EcomEvent(occurred)

Usage example

val ecomEvent: EcomEvent = EcomEvent.SearchRequest("SearchThisString", true)
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent)

EcomEvent ecomEvent = new EcomEvent.SearchRequest("SearchThisString", true);
getReteno().logEcommerceEvent(ecomEvent);

Unsupported Events

When you want to track the customer activity and cannot find the appropriate EcomEvent.EventType, you can use the Reteno.logEvent method:

val params: List<Parameter> = listOf(Parameter("key1", "value1"), Parameter("key2", null))
reteno.logEvent(Event.Custom("eventTypeKey", ZonedDateTime.now(), params))

List<Parameter> params = new ArrayList<>();
params.add(new Parameter("key1", "value1"));
params.add(new Parameter("key2", null));

Reteno.logEvent(new Event.Custom("eventTypeKey", ZonedDateTime.now(), params));
