Some businesses plan weeks ahead while others plan months out. Curious what works best for different store sizes.

Most stores have more data than they know what to do with. What do you actually look at versus ignore?

Revenue is easy enough to find, but things like true profitability or customer value can get complicated. What’s yours?

Forget dashboards.

If you could have one ecommerce number delivered to you every morning, what would it be?

1. Yesterday's profit
2. Today's expected revenue
3. Customer LTV
4. Cash/inventory position

What's the number you currently have to work hardest to calculate?

Overstock, stock-outs, ordering too early, ordering too late...curious what others have learned the hard way.

Analytics can get messy when multiple channels influence the same customer. What’s been the biggest headache for you?

Curious how everyone’s ecommerce sales performed over the long weekend compared with last year.

Did you see:

• Higher or lower sales than expected?
• Any noticeable change in conversion rate or AOV?
• Certain products/categories outperforming?
• More or less traffic from paid vs. organic?
• How was traffic from LLMs?

Would be interesting to hear what everyone is seeing across different stores and categories.

I have been looking at ecommerce reporting and keep seeing pretty noticeable differences between Shopify and GA4 for traffic, sessions, and conversion rates.

How do you guys handle this?

Do you generally use Shopify as the source of truth for conversion/revenue and GA4 for traffic/behavior, or do you actually try to reconcile the two?

Would be interested to hear how other Shopify stores handle this.

Do you rely on historical sales, forecasts, upcoming promotions, or mostly experience and gut feeling?

There’s a big difference between automating repetitive work and handing over important decisions. Where do you draw the line?

I have been running paid media campaigns across meta Google ads, TikTok ad, and this has been going out for a while, but we haven’t seen good conversion last few months. The ROAS looks okay but feel like we are now quite dependent on ad sales vs organic. My last year organic has much better than my current year. Is everyone feeling the same or it just me?

Imagine opening your dashboard and getting one useful business insight automatically. What would you want to know first? curious to know..
