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 trading day colour-coded: green for a day that made a profit, red for a day that made a loss, a distinct tint for a breakeven day, and a greyed-out, dashed cell for days with no activity. Each active day shows the figure for the currently selected metric in the middle of its cell and the number of orders in the corner, so a strong or a weak run of days stands out immediately.

Above the grid sits a Monthly summary row of pills, one per metric, each showing that month’s total and its change against last month. Clicking a pill is how you choose what the grid measures. You can colour the calendar by:

• Net Profit, the figure after fees and costs are taken into account
• Revenue, your sales for the day
• Fees and COGS (cost of goods sold)
• Shipping, Orders, AOV (average order value) and Margin

Picking a different pill 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. A colour legend to the right of the grid (Profit, Loss, Breakeven, No Activity) explains the shading, and a compact WEEK column on the far right totals each row.

Opening a day’s orders

Click or tap any day in the grid to open a detail drawer that slides in from the right for that date. Its header shows the full date and a state pill (Profit, Loss, Breakeven or No activity), followed by a two-column grid of that day’s figures for every metric: Net Profit, Sales Revenue, Order Count, Profit Margin, Fees Paid, Shipping Cost, COGS and Average Order Value.

Below the figures, an Orders section lists the individual orders that made up the day’s totals. Each order shows its item title, the eBay order number beneath it, and the order’s revenue. So if a particular day looks unusually high or low on the grid, you can see straight away which sales caused it rather than having to search your order history separately. Press Escape or the close button to slide the drawer back out.

Honest limits to know

The sales calendar currently ships a month view only. Weekly and annual rollups are planned but not yet available, so you cannot switch to a week by week or year by year layout.

Some metrics depend on permissions. If your access level as a team member does not include permission to view cost of goods sold, the Net Profit, COGS and Margin pills are removed from the Monthly summary and from the day drawer, and days are shown without profit or loss colouring. This is expected behaviour, not a fault, and matches how cost data is protected elsewhere in DashVue.
