🌐 SAP Commerce Cloud storefronts
RUM JS can be deployed in compatible:
|
Storefront type |
|---|
|
Traditional SAP Commerce Cloud storefronts |
|
Accelerator-based storefronts |
|
Spartacus storefronts |
|
Composable storefronts |
|
Headless storefronts |
|
Custom JavaScript storefronts |
For headless commerce, deploy RUM JS in the customer-facing frontend.
Coverage depends on where the script executes, Content Security Policy, consent, cross-origin content, and access to the storefront.
👁️ Real-user monitoring
For compatible browser-based SAP applications, RUM JS can capture:
|
Captured data |
|---|
|
User sessions |
|
Logical pages and application views |
|
Clicks and interactions |
|
Browser and JavaScript errors |
|
Network and resource requests |
|
User-perceived performance |
|
Browser and device information |
|
Custom application and commerce events |
|
Session Replay |
|
Heatmap data |
|
User feedback |
|
Business-process steps |
🎥 Session Replay
GermainUX reconstructs the monitored browser experience from captured DOM changes, interactions, network activity, and related browser events.
Replay enables teams to investigate:
|
Investigate |
|---|
|
Customer complaints |
|
Abandoned journeys |
|
Failed checkout attempts |
|
Ineffective SAP workflows |
|
Application errors |
|
Rage and dead clicks |
|
Slow user actions |
|
Confusing validation |
|
Unexpected navigation |
|
Repeated or unnecessary steps |
Session Replay is not a video recording. Its completeness depends on capture settings, privacy exclusions, resources, frames, browser support, and application architecture.
🔔 SAP Commerce Cloud events
GermainUX can collect or derive events that describe customer behavior and commerce outcomes.
Examples include:
|
Event |
|---|
|
Category Viewed |
|
Product Viewed |
|
Search Submitted |
|
Search with No Results |
|
Category Viewed |
|
Product Viewed |
|
Search Submitted |
|
Search with No Results |
|
Filter Applied |
|
Sort Applied |
|
Product Added to Cart |
|
Product Removed from Cart |
|
Cart Viewed |
|
Checkout Started |
|
Checkout Step Completed |
|
Checkout Validation |
|
Checkout Failed |
|
Order Completed |
|
Customer Registered |
|
Login Completed |
|
Feedback Submitted |
Events may be collected through RUM JS, application instrumentation, browser requests, APIs, logs, or custom integrations.
GermainUX does not automatically recognize every event in every customized SAP Commerce Cloud storefront. Store-specific instrumentation or extraction rules may be required.
📈 Conversion monitoring
GermainUX can monitor conversion funnels such as:
Landing Page
→ Category Viewed
→ Product Viewed
→ Product Added to Cart
→ Cart Viewed
→ Checkout Started
→ Order Completed
Available conversion analysis can include:
|
Metric |
|---|
|
Overall conversion rate |
|
Product-view-to-cart rate |
|
Search-to-product rate |
|
Category-to-product rate |
|
Cart-to-checkout rate |
|
Checkout completion rate |
|
Cart abandonment |
|
Checkout abandonment |
|
Step conversion and drop-off |
|
Conversion by product or category |
|
Conversion by customer segment |
|
Conversion by campaign or traffic source |
|
Conversion by browser, device, or location |
|
Errors associated with lost conversion |
|
Performance associated with abandonment |
|
Estimated revenue impact |
Browser events describe the customer journey. SAP Commerce Cloud order data should remain the authoritative source for financial reconciliation.

|
Sold-out product encounters |
|
Ineffective filtering or sorting |
|
Repeated searches |
|
Frustrating product-navigation paths |
|
Products associated with errors or slow performance |
Custom events may be required for storefront-specific controls and outcomes.

Page |
|
Product or category |
|
Cart or checkout stage |
|
Browser and device |
|

Outbound calls |
|
Database-call correlation |
|
Time spent in supported Java components |
In SAP-managed Commerce Cloud environments, server-agent deployment may be restricted. Confirm access before claiming Java-level monitoring.
🔗 HTTP, API, and integration monitoring
The GermainUX Engine can monitor reachable SAP-related endpoints for:
|
Check |
|---|
|
Availability |
|

SOAP services |
|
Payment integrations |
|
Search services |
|

Potential sources include:
|
Source |
|---|
|
Commerce application logs |
|
Web-server logs |
|
Integration logs |
|
Job logs |
|
Security logs |
|
Exported diagnostic files |
For each source, configure:
