Your sales calendar: profit and revenue day by day

The sales calendar gives you a day by day view of how your shop performed over a month, so you can spot good days, quiet days and anything unusual at a glance, then drill into a single day to see exactly which orders drove the numbers.

What the calendar shows

The calendar displays one month at a time as a grid, with every day shaded like a heat map. Darker or more intense shading means a bigger number for whichever metric you have selected, and lighter shading means a smaller one, so a busy or profitable run of days stands out immediately.

You can switch what the heat map is measuring between:

• Net profit, the figure after fees and costs are taken into account
• Revenue, your gross sales for the day
• Fees, what eBay and any related charges took that day
• Cost of goods sold (COGS), what your stock cost you that day

Switching metrics redraws the same grid with the new figures, so you can compare, for example, a month that looks strong on revenue but thinner on net profit once fees and costs are factored in.

Opening a day’s orders

Click or tap any day in the grid to open a detail drawer for that date. The drawer lists the individual orders that made up the day’s totals, so if a particular day looks unusually high or low on the heat map, you can see straight away which sales caused it rather than having to search your order history separately.

Honest limits to know

The sales calendar currently shows a month view only. Weekly and annual views are planned but marked as coming soon, so you cannot yet switch to a week by week or year by year layout.

The COGS metric depends on permissions. If your account, or your access level as a team member, does not include permission to view cost of goods sold, the COGS option simply will not be available on the calendar. This is expected behaviour, not a fault, and matches how cost data is protected elsewhere in DashVue.
