Reports

The various reports extract data from your payment history and present it in various ways. All of the reports allow you to select data for a range of dates and filter by application, currency, and account. The filter selectors only appear if you have payments for more than one application or currency, or more than one account.

Some of the reports include charts made with the help of Google Charts. To draw the charts, Payage extracts the data on your server and sends it to your browser, where the charts are drawn by the Google Charts Javascript. No Payage data is ever sent to Google.

Most Popular Items

Shows a list of up to 100 items purchased through Payage, ordered by descending number of purchases. A pie chart on the same page shows your most popular ten items.

Sales by Country

Shows a list of all the countries you have sold to, with the number of items sold to each country. A pie chart shows the top ten countries. This report relies on country information supplied by the payment gateway. Most payment gateways now supply a country code. This report also shows a Google map of sales by country. You can choose the map region. The region selector applies only to the map, not the list or the pie chart.

Sales History

Shows a line chart of sales of your eight most popular items over the selected time period. The number of sales per month is used to calculate the average number of sales per day for each month, so the chart only really makes sense when you look at several months data.

This chart works best when you sell similar numbers of each item, allowing you to gauge the relative popularity of various products over time. It might not work so well if you sell hundreds of one product per day and very few of another, since the vertical axis must accommodate the highest number of sales per day.

Sales by Month

Shows sales per month for the selected time period. If you use multiple currencies, the report is sub-totalled per currency.

Sales by Item

Shows sales per item for the selected time period. If you use multiple currencies, the report is sub-totalled per currency.

Sales by Region

Shows total sales for several world regions for the selected time period. If you use multiple currencies, the totals for each currency are shown separately for each region.

Daily Sales Calendar

A graphical calendar showing sales for each day. The colour of each day represents the relative sales for that day, with the darkest colour representing the highest sales, and the lightest colour representing the lowest sales. When the calendar shows a single currency, the numbers shown in the tooltips are the total sales for the selected currency. When the calendar includes multiple currencies, the numbers shown in the tooltips are the number of sales.
