Store performance reports
Having store performance reports wizards on your dashboard can save you a lot of time that you would otherwise spend running the reports under the Analytics section. It pulls the same reports but displays the most important reports in the form of charts as shown in the image below.
❗By default, all the reports on the dashboard display the stats for the one week from the current date. However, you can set a custom date range to see the data for the desired period as explained later in this article.
The following bar chart reports are at your disposal on the Cartzy dashboard.
1. Total revenue: It displays the total revenue generated on your store during the selected time period.
2. Number of sales: It displays the total number of sales made in your store during the selected time period.
