If you scroll down the Product Analysis page, you’ll see four interactive graphs. These graphs help you visualise trends over time and understand how price impacts demand, conversion, and profitability.
1. Revenue
What it shows:
- Total Revenue for the product
- Number of Orders
- Broken down by month
What it means:
This graph shows how much revenue the product generated over time and how consistently it sold.
What you can use it for:

- Spotting declining or growing sales momentum
- Understanding whether revenue changes are driven by more orders or fewer/higher-value orders
2. Popularity
What it shows:
- Product Views

What it means:
This graph shows how popular the product is at different price points by comparing how often it’s viewed versus how much it costs on average.
What you can use it for:
- Understanding how price changes affect product interest
- Identifying price points where the product attracts more attention
- Spotting products that get high visibility but may not convert well
3. Price Sensitivity
What it shows:
- Product Conversion Rate
- Compared against Average Selling Price
What it means:
This graph highlights how sensitive customers are to price changes by showing how conversion rate varies as the average price changes.
What you can use it for:
- Identifying optimal pricing ranges that maximise conversions
- Spotting prices that reduce buyer confidence
- Supporting data-driven pricing and promotional decisions
4. Profitability
What it shows:
- Profitability
- Compared against Average Selling Price
- Calculated using today’s cost price
What it means:
This graph shows how profitable the product is at different selling prices, based on current cost data.

Profitability is calculated using today’s cost price, not the historical cost at the time of sale.
What you can use it for:
- Balancing price increases against potential profit gains
- Identifying prices that improve margin without hurting performance
- Making informed decisions on discounting and promotions
Putting the Graphs Together
Used together, these four graphs help you:
- Understand how price affects interest, conversion, and profit
- Identify the sweet spot between popularity and profitability
- Make confident decisions around pricing, stock, and promotions
They turn raw product data into clear visual insights you can act on quickly.
Sample Price Sensitivity Graph Explained
This graph illustrates how price changes impact customer conversion behaviour for a product over time.
Legend
- Red line – Average Net Price
Shows the average price customers paid for the product in each month. - Blue line – Conversion Rate
Shows the percentage of product views that resulted in a purchase for each month.
How to Read This Graph
This chart highlights the relationship between price and conversion rate:
Price Increased → Conversion Rate Decreased
- When the red line rises (price increases), the blue line drops.
- This indicates customers are more hesitant to buy at higher prices.
- Even small price increases can lead to noticeable conversion drops for price-sensitive products.
Price Decreased → Conversion Rate Increased
- When the red line falls (price decreases), the blue line rises.
- This shows improved customer willingness to purchase.
- Discounts or lower pricing drive higher engagement and conversion.
What This Tells You
This product shows clear price sensitivity:
- Customers respond quickly to price changes
- Conversion improves when prices are reduced
- Higher prices reduce buying confidence and intent
How to Use This Insight
You can use this graph to:
- Identify price points where conversion drops sharply
- Decide whether price increases are worth the conversion loss
- Plan promotions to boost volume when demand slows
- Find a balance between conversion rate and profitability
This graph helps you move from guessing to data-driven pricing decisions.
