Helping Central Park Conservancy Measure What Matters

“This was a foundational piece of work. Central Park Conservancy now has a clear, accurate view of what’s happening across their visitor and ecommerce funnel. That unlocks better decisions to support the park.”

Integrating Shopify with Adobe Analytics 

Central Park Conservancy is the nonprofit organisation responsible for the day-to-day care of Central Park in New York City. Its ecommerce store, shop.centralparknyc.org, plays a key role in fundraising, offering merchandise and gifts that support the park’s ongoing stewardship. 

Challenge

The store was in the process of being moved from Adobe Commerce to Shopify, with previous reporting being done through Adobe Analytics. This meant that the Conservancy’s marketing and ecommerce teams lacked detailed visibility into user behaviour, conversion flows, and campaign performance. Their analytics setup couldn’t fully support data-driven decisions across ecommerce, fundraising, and digital marketing channels. 

The ask: a seamless and robust integration between Shopify and Adobe Analytics to track key ecommerce metrics, support better reporting, and align measurement across the organisation.

  • Integrate Shopify ecommerce data with the Conservancy’s existing Adobe Analytics setup 
  • Track key ecommerce events (product views, basket additions, checkouts, transactions, etc.) 
  • Improve visibility into user behaviour and revenue attribution 
  • Enable cross-channel performance reporting (e.g. email, social, paid media)
