Created by Danny Wong, Modified on Fri, 07 Aug 2020 at 12:34 PM by Danny Wong

Reports in WooCommerce give you the ability to see your store’s performance from month to month using graphs and stats. It has four sections: Orders, Customers, Stock, and Taxes.

With the release of WooCommerce 4.0, these reports are becoming obsolete. There is a new and better Analytics section available for users running WordPress 5.3+. Learn more about the new experience in the WooCommerce Analytics documentation.

To view them, go to: WooCommerce > Reports.

Orders

Orders allow you to view gross and net sales volume and totals, as well as top sellers, top freebies, top earners, and product downloads. Sub-sections are shown below.

Note: By default, orders marked Processing, On Hold and Completed are counted as sales.

Sales by date

The Orders tab starts with Sales by date. This gives you an idea of the current performance via a sales graph and a few way ways to drill down into data. By year, last month, this month, last 7 days, and a custom date range.

The sales graph itself shows the number of gross sales plotted on a light blue line, the net sales plotted in dark blue, the shipping amount plotted in green, refunds plotted in red, and coupon values redeemed in orange. Hovering over a point will give you the exact figure.

Sales by product

The sales per product section shows sales per day in a given range, similarly to the overview section:

You can select any product from your store to view sales data, and again drill down into by year, last month, this month, last 7 days, and custom.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I reset the report?

Everything is reset if you delete prior sales orders and then go to the order Trash and permanently delete them. Because all sales graphs and sales logs are dynamically generated, you then need to clear your browser cache.

Is there a ___ column for this report?

The only columns and categories available are those shown. If you require a different or additional one, then it would be customization requiring custom code or a plugin to add that feature/functionality.
