Viewing store statistics
- Log in to your eCom Back Office.
- Click Statistics in the left menu. The Statistics page shows you key sales data, including net and gross revenue, total costs, the total number of orders, the total number of visitors to your store, and more. The metrics are separated into 2 charts:
- Financials - This chart shows you financial data for your online store, including: your gross and net revenue, your total costs, the average value of orders, your average daily net revenue, and total revenue.
- Conversion - This chart shows you visitor data, including: the number of orders, the total number of unique visitors and pageviews, and the total percentage of visitors that have placed orders.
The number of pageviews are based on cookies. Cookies are small files that are stored on a shopper's device (such as a desktop or smartphone), when the shopper visits your online store. It's important to note that because the same visitor may visit your store multiple times in a given day, the number of pageviews may be higher than the number of unique visitors.
- By default, both the Financials and Conversion charts display data for the last 7 days (including the current day). If you want to see data for another date range, open the Select range drop-down and select a different date range:
You can also select a preset range on the top-right:
To see a more detailed overview for a specific time period, use the slider to choose start and end points on the chart. The charts can display data for the previous 24 months (2 years).
Viewing metric descriptions
Lightspeed eCom shows the following metrics in the Financials and Conversion charts:
| Metric | What it shows |
| Placed Orders | Lightspeed eCom counts a purchase as a placed order when a quote is converted to an order, either via Quotes in the Back Office or when a shopper confirms that they will purchase via your store's checkout. An order does not need to be paid to be counted in this metric.
Lightspeed eCom dates the placed order according to the day when the order was converted, based on the timezone of your Back Office. If a placed order is cancelled, Lightspeed eCom automatically removes it from the total count. |
| Gross Revenue | The gross revenue metric is the sum of all your sales for the time period you are viewing, including all taxes and any additional costs, such as custom field costs, shipment costs and payment costs.
Lightspeed eCom adjusts the gross revenue metric based on the date an order is placed. If a previously paid order is converted to not paid or if a Credit Memo for the same order is added, Lightspeed eCom automatically removes the order from the gross revenue calculation. |
| Net revenue | The net revenue metric is the sum of all your sales for the time period you are viewing, including any additional costs, such as custom field costs, shipment costs and payment costs, but exclusive of taxes.
Lightspeed eCom adjusts the net revenue metric based on the date an order is placed. If a previously paid order is converted to not paid or if a Credit Memo for the same order is added, Lightspeed eCom automatically removes the order from the net revenue calculation. |
