You can access your analytics reports by navigating to Analytics > AB Commerce Analytics in the menu bar. This will take you directly to your Analytics Dashboard. You can also access specific reports by clicking on the "More Details" links throughout the dashboard.
By default, the Top Products Report is displayed first. However, you’ll find a list of additional reports on the left-hand side of the page, allowing you to explore deeper insights into your store’s performance.
Date Range Selection
When viewing the dashboard or any report, you can choose a date range from a preset list or set a custom date range.
To select a custom date range, click on Custom Date Range, then use the dropdown to pick your From Date. Your next click will set the To Date.
By default, reports display data for the Last 28 Days, and your selection will be remembered as you navigate through different reports—until you close your browser.

You can also click on COMPARE and then select a date range to compare against.
This also has preset options or you can set a custom date range to compare against.
Percentage Figures in Brackets
In the reports, percentage figures displayed in brackets represent the proportion of the total for that specific field.
For certain metrics, such as Conversion Rate or Average Order Value, the percentage in brackets indicates how that value compares to the overall average.
- If the value is more than 10% above the average, it will be highlighted in GREEN
- If the value is more than 10% below the average, it will be highlighted in RED
This color coding helps you quickly identify strong and underperforming areas in your data.

Description |
Top Products |
This displays the top 500 products - you can change the view to be:
- By Revenue
- By Stock -
This analyses stock for a product.
We record stock at the start of each day - and if the product is INACTIVE, we record stock as ZERO for that day.
This report has some of it's figures adjusted to only calculate using days where there was stock at the start and at the end of the day. This is so that the figures are not skewed by days when there is no stock - or days when there is stock available but only for part of the day (e.g. before it sells out during the day).
Note that for products with versions, this is the sum of all their stock across all their active versions. We have a version breakdown of stock in another report when viewing a specific product's analytics.
- By Add To Basket -
This displays the ADD TO BASKET percentages for each product.
The Add % is the percentage of times a user clicked ADD TO BASKET when on the PRODUCT DETAIL page.
The Order % is the percentage of times a user completed their purchase after adding the product to their basket.
NOTE: The above % is adjusted to only use days where there was stock at the start and at the end of the day - this is so that the analytics are not skewed if a product is OUT OF STOCK when being viewed so can't be added to the basket.
The following are the report fields:
- Current Price: This is the current price of the product - for versions, this shows the average price across all versions
- Item Views: The total number of views of the product detail page for this product - this will display "N/A" if there was no stock recorded at the start of the date range (as stock is only recorded from when your analytics started running - while sales data is collected from the 1st day your website went live)
