Shop Insights

  • Updated

Available for creators selling digital products with Commerce, your shop insights give you valuable data about overall product sales and which products are selling best. In this article, we’ll take you through ways to analyze your product sales and answer common questions you may have about your shop earnings.

Analyzing your product sales

To get to your shop insights, click the Insights link from your left navigation and click on the Shop tab. You can review shop insights for the past 30 days, past 6 months, past year, and all time. Here, you can see your earnings for each product and identify your top-selling items.

On your Shop tab, you can also check your earnings from the products and collections you sell (only available as an early access feature). For more information, visit our Selling Posts and Collections (Early Access) article.

Your shop insights include:

  • Total Earnings: earnings from your product sales specifically
  • Total Sales: number of products sold
  • Top-selling products: a list of top-selling products with earnings from product sales
