🤔 THE QUESTION

How can we trace user sessions from product view -> add to cart -> checkout -> payment to calculate step conversion rates?

💡 WHAT IS IT?

Aggregating step occurrence flags per session and computing ratios evaluates conversion friction across stages.

🎯 WHAT IS IT USED FOR?

Product analytics dashboards optimizing checkout flows and identifying user drop-off points.

💻 EXAMPLE
df_funnel = df_events.groupBy("session_id").agg(max(when(col("event") == "view_item", 1).otherwise(0)).alias("viewed"), max(when(col("event") == "add_to_cart", 1).otherwise(0)).alias("carted"), max(when(col("event") == "purchase", 1).otherwise(0)).alias("purchased"))

🎯 Mission Objectives

Practice typing production-grade PySpark code for Scenario: E-Commerce Funnel Conversion Analytics.

  • Funnel conversion tracking
  • Session step aggregation
  • Stage-by-stage drop-off analytics
