What are the advantages of using By the Numbers to access your Sales by Channel Report?
Unlike Shopify’s report, By the Numbers (BtN) includes the Average Order Sales of each channel. These are the metrics included in BtN’s report:
Channel: The different sales channels of your store.
AOV: The total sales (not including returns) divided by the number of orders.
Customers: Number of customers who have placed an order through that sales channel in the selected timeframe.
Gross Sales: The product price x quantity (before taxes, shipping, discounts, and returns) for a collection of sales.
Discounts: The total number of discounts applied to orders.
Shipping: The total shipping applied to orders. This excludes shipping discounts.
Tax: The total amount of taxes based on the orders.
Total Returned: The total amount of money returned to a customer.
Total Sales: The total sales — that is, gross sales – discounts – returns + taxes + shipping.
One of the most significant differences between using Shopify and By the Numbers for reports is the segmentation capabilities. By the Numbers allows you to adapt the data of every report to a selected customer segment. With this tool, you can know, for example, how many customers have placed more than x orders through that particular channel. Then, with just a few clicks, you could retarget them with an upsell or win-back campaign.
You could retarget the selected customer segment through Klaviyo, Google Ads, TikTok Ads, and Meta. The other cool thing about integrations is that you can automatically import the data produced in those platforms and incorporate it into BtN reports.
