How To Get Here?
- From the Menu
- Sales –> Sales Heat Map.
What is it for?
- To know which days of the week and which hours of the day are the most profitable or popular in a chart view.
- To get a visual representation of your order density distributed over days of the week and within the days of the week, the hours in the day.
How does it work?
- The sales heat map is a rectangular grid with a series of individual cells, each cell represents an hour of the day. The hours are organized by days of the week.
- The intensity of the color of an hourly cell will depend on how many sales have been placed here in the hour that the Sun represents.
- The more sales in that hour, the darker the color of the cell. The fewer the sales, the lighter the color of the cell.
- All the data of the heat map comes from the order date column of the order screen.
- Hovering over any cell will tell you the exact value.
- The sales heat map represents the timezone of the selected market place. (GMT for UK, GMT+1 rest of EU, PST/PDT for US).
