Do we need to map E-Commerce events in mobile?

[1abhishekpandey]

In this Adobe doc page this is mentioned:

• scOpen: Increments the ‘Carts’ metric.
• scAdd: Increments the ‘Cart Additions’ metric.
• etc

But in this Adobe doc there is no reference of how to send these events.

So my query is that while sending these event from mobile platforms (say) Cart Additions events, do I need to map/change that event name into scAdd?

@1abhishekpandey You will have to map/change event name when the relevant event occurs. The second link has an example for event serialisation, this should help you to understand how to set it. 

Once this is done, Analytics backend will map this event as "cart additions" and increment the metric

Example Cart Add ( for ios) 

// add events
contextData["&&events"] = "scAdd"
