Let’s move on to the first of the sections. In the Sales by date tab, you will see the current results using a sales graph. You can down into the data with Sales by year, Last month, This month, Last 7 days, and a custom date range.
The sales graph
WooCommerce reports offer the sales graph that shows the total number of sales and net sales. Charts for shipping, refunds, or coupons redeemed are also available. When you hover your mouse over a point, the exact number will be given.
Each of the graphs is marked with a separate color:

The Sales by category tab allows you to analyze orders placed in your store by category. You can analyze data for one category, you can also compare data between other categories. Similar to the previous tab, you have data for the year, Last month, This month, Last 7 days, and a custom date range.
In the Coupons by date tab, you have the option to analyze the data by available coupons, their popularity, as well as the biggest discount. As in the previous order analysis areas, data can be compared for the Last year, Month, This month, Last 7 days, and your own date range.
And finally, in the Customer Downloads tab, you can view products that have been downloaded in the store. The filters provided allow you to analyze downloads by File name, Order number, Customer, Their IP address.
Customers
The Customers tab allows you to view reports about your customers. In the Customers vs. Guests section, we can see which customers are guests, and how many of them have registered in your store.
As in the previous tabs, the data can be analyzed by Last year, Last month, This month, Last 7 days, as well as by custom date range. On the other hand, the customer list summarizes only the users registered in the store.
Stock
WooCommerce reports allow you to analyze products by their stock status. Products are divided into those by low stock, out of stock, and with the Most stocked.
Taxes
This report allows you to analyze orders for taxes by code and by date. The first table contains the following data: tax, rate, number of orders, tax amount, shipping tax amount, tax total.
The data in the chart can be displayed by date. It then contains data on a period, number of orders, total sales, total shipping, total tax, net profit.
WooCommerce tax reports allow you to display taxes by code (state) and taxes by date. By Last year, Last month, This month, and user-entered custom dates.
How to reset a report?
WooCommerce also gives you the option to reset reports. You can do this by deleting previous orders, customers, etc. This is not something we recommend doing. However, if you choose to, you still need to clear your browser cache. Only then will you be able to get to the reset reports.
