In WooCommerce Home you can stay on top of your store performance, get useful tips and insights to grow your business, and quickly access some of the most important areas to manage your store.


Inbox

The Inbox area is dedicated to informational content coming from multiple sources such as the WooCommerce core plugin, WooCommerce.com Subscription management, extensions activity, and store achievements. It also displays insightful content that could help with the day to day tasks of managing and optimizing a store. You can also access the Inbox in other pages, through the Activity Panel.

In the inbox panel we might display contextual messages about extensions available in our marketplace that can be useful for your business. If you don’t want to receive those suggestions, you can opt-out on WooCommerce > Settings > Advanced > WooCommerce.com > Marketplace suggestions

Stats Overview

In this area you can have a quick overview of the most important performance indicators of your store. Each performance indicator will display a label informing you of the statistic that is being presented, the value of that statistic for the date range selected and a percentage change over the prior period. At the top of this area you can easily switch between three predefined date ranges: today, week to date and month to date. From here you can view associated charts and tabular data for deeper analysis.

Using the customization menu in the top right corner of the section, you can toggle the display of the following default performance indicators:
