View sales-related information about your Project.

The Merchant Center dashboard displays relevant sales-related information about your Project by using views and widgets. To access the dashboard, click Dashboard in the Merchant Center main menu.
The dashboard data is updated in real time in an eventually consistent manner.

Dashboard views

A dashboard view contains customizable widgets and configuration settings, such as currency and time zone. You can create multiple views based on your requirements.

You can create dashboard views only if you have the permission to view or edit Orders.

The dashboard provides a default view with the following preconfigured widgets:

  • Sales performance: sales revenue during a selected time range.
  • Total sales: total sales for the current day, week, and month, including the number of Orders.
  • Average order value: average order value for the current week, month, and year.
  • Top products by revenue for the current month: best-selling Products for the current month. The default number of displayed Products is 5, which you can change to either 10 or 15 in Widget settings.
  • Order status: total orders by Order status over a selected time range.
  • Total orders: total order revenue by Order status over a selected time range.
  • To tabulate the displayed Order values, the dashboard uses the totalPrice field of an Order.
  • The currency setting filters sales data based on the currency used in an Order.
To switch between views, rename, or delete a view, use the My views list.

Create and modify views

When you change widget configurations or settings, such as currency or time zone, you can save the changes to the current view or as a new view.

  • Any changes that you make to the default view can only be saved to a new view.

  • Unsaved changes to widgets or configuration settings are available across multiple user login sessions. However, unsaved changes are discarded when switching between views.

  • There's no limit to the number of widgets that you can add to a single view.

Within a view, you can use the options in the toolbar to customize the data that is displayed.
