Posted by AlexDobson on August 15, 2023

Analysing trends in your sales can be a valuable asset when it comes to forecasting and making data-driven decisions for your business. Alongside utilising the Product Reports feature, you can assess your companies seasonal trends. During months when sales might be slightly lower than others, this is when you can implement special offers or discounts to help boost your sales.

So how do you go about viewing this within OpenCart:

On the Dashboard you click Reports and this will take you straight to the main Reports page. Then in the Report Type dropdown, select Sales Report.
