Monitus Tools Features
Monitus Tools are a collection of web-based applications that have been built specifically for the Yahoo! Store platform. One simple tracking code has to be added (and we’ll take care of that for you) to your store and you can then choose and use the tools you need. The best way to learn about what these tools can do for you is by simply giving them a try.
Here is an overview of what those tools are:

- Receive an email notification immediately or as a daily digest with the name, email and cart contents of the visitor
