The dashboard is the first screen after you log in. It gathers the store's key metrics as chart widgets and lets you understand your sales at a glance. Each widget has a "from / to" date filter at the top — pick a range to view the period you need.
What you see
At the top is a row of quick links to key sections (Orders, Requests, Products, Users, etc.). Below is a grid of chart widgets, each showing its own metric:
- Number of requests — how many form submissions arrived in the period. Growth means more interest (or more complaints).
- Abandoned carts — how many carts were left without checkout. High values signal checkout barriers (shipping cost, complex flow).
- Cancelled orders — the number of cancellations. Spikes mean problems with stock, prices or communication.
- Orders — the trend in order count, the main pulse of sales.
- Order recurrence — how often customers reorder; a loyalty indicator.
- Total order value — total revenue for the period, the key financial figure.
- Average order value — the average amount of a single order.
- Search queries — how many on-site searches happened; details are in "What people search".
- Users — how many new users registered in the period.
- Product count — the size of the catalog right now.
How it works
Set the "from" and "to" dates in a widget and apply — the chart redraws for the chosen period. Compare equal intervals (week over week, month over month) to see a trend rather than random noise.
How to use it for decisions
- Sales growth: read "Orders" + "Total order value" + "Average order value" together to tell whether you have more sales or just larger baskets.
- Recovering losses: "Abandoned carts" and "Cancelled orders" are money you can win back — simplify checkout, add reminders, check stock.
- Demand and assortment: "Search queries" + "Product count" reveal what people look for but is missing from the catalog.
- Promo impact: when running a promotion, compare before and after — the charts show the real effect.
