Analytics

The Analytics section gives you a data-driven view of your store’s performance. Use it to track revenue trends, understand your customers, identify your best-selling products, and spot operational bottlenecks.

[!NOTE] Analytics data is scoped to your store. Platform administrators (with the ADMIN role) can see aggregated data across all stores on the platform.


1. Dashboard Overview

Navigate to Analytics to see your summary dashboard. The top row shows four key metrics at a glance:

MetricWhat it measures
Total RevenueSum of all paid orders in the selected period
Orders CountTotal number of orders placed
CustomersNumber of unique customers who placed orders
Fulfillment RatePercentage of orders that reached DELIVERED status

Use the date range selector at the top right to switch between Today, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, Last 90 Days, or a custom range.


2. Revenue Charts

The revenue chart shows your earnings over time, broken down by period:

ViewDescription
DailyRevenue for each day in the selected range
WeeklyRevenue grouped by week
MonthlyRevenue grouped by month

Hover over any point on the chart to see the exact revenue for that period. The chart helps you identify peak selling days and seasonal patterns.

[!TIP] Compare two time periods side-by-side by adjusting the date range and noting the comparison percentage shown below the chart.


3. Top Products Report

The Top Products table shows your best-performing items, ranked by:

  • Units Sold β€” most popular by quantity
  • Revenue Generated β€” highest total sales value

For each product, you can see:

  • Product name and thumbnail
  • Units sold
  • Revenue
  • Current stock level

Use this report to decide which products to restock first, which to promote, and which are underperforming.


4. Customer Analytics

The Customers analytics section helps you understand who is buying from you:

MetricWhat it shows
New CustomersFirst-time buyers in the selected period
Returning CustomersCustomers who have placed more than one order
Customer GrowthMonth-over-month increase in registered customers

The New vs Returning split tells you how much of your revenue comes from loyal repeat customers vs new acquisitions β€” a key indicator of brand health.


5. Order Analytics

The Orders analytics section breaks down your order volume by status:

ChartWhat it shows
Orders by StatusA breakdown of how many orders are in each status
Orders Over TimeOrder volume trend for the selected period
Average Order ValueTotal revenue divided by total orders

This view helps you catch bottlenecks β€” for example, if many orders are stuck in PROCESSING for too long.


6. Payment Success Rate

Under Analytics β†’ Payments:

MetricDescription
Payment Success RatePercentage of checkout attempts that resulted in a successful PAID status
Failed PaymentsCount of failed payment attempts
Refund RatePercentage of orders that were partially or fully refunded

A low payment success rate (below 85%) may indicate issues with your Paystack configuration, checkout UX, or internet connectivity in your target market.


7. Cart Abandonment Rate

The cart abandonment rate shows how many customers added items to their cart but did not complete checkout.

MetricDescription
Abandonment RatePercentage of carts that did not convert to an order
Abandoned Cart ValueTotal value of items left in abandoned carts

[!TIP] A high abandonment rate often signals friction in the checkout flow β€” for example, unexpected shipping costs, too many steps, or payment failures. Review your checkout settings and Paystack integration if abandonment is above 70%.


8. Store-Level vs Platform-Level Analytics

RoleWhat they see
Owner / ManagerAnalytics for their own store only
Platform AdminAggregated analytics across all stores on the platform β€” total platform revenue, store count, cross-store top products

If you are an Owner, your analytics are always filtered to your store. You will never see data from other stores on the platform.
