Report Manager

 

Where can I see what my sales are?
The Report Manager in your Seller area has everything you need. The initial view is a snapshot of month-to-date sales. You also have the ability to generate reports for Sales Summaries, Wish Lists (which products have been added to Buyer’s ‘wish lists’), Promotion, and Order Detail. These reports can be exported for your use.

Will I get notification when a buyer purchases one of my products?
No, there is no automatic notification to the seller when a transaction occurs. The new dashboard view will provide the snapshot of daily sales, in addition to the week- and month-to-date sales. Please log in to your account and click on Report Manager to see the dashboard sales numbers.

Follow these instructions to create a report.
The Report Manager can generate sales summaries by product, version and date. It can also be used it to view sales from promotions, see which of your products customers have on their wish list and to view order details for your transactions.
