Sales Anomaly Alert

About this kit

Watches your Shopify sales each morning and speaks up only when something really moved.

• Compares yesterday to the same weekday last week, and 7 days to the week before
• Alerts on revenue, orders and average-order-value swings past a size threshold
• Names the likely driver: a channel, a product, a stockout, a discount, one order
• Learns your promotions and seasons, so a known spike is not called an anomaly
• Read-only: never changes an order, product or price; a normal day gets one line

How it works

Shopify

Reads the store's sales figures and the orders behind them so every number in the alert can be traced to a call. Read-only: no order, product, price or discount is ever changed.

• Read analytics: Runs the sales report with a comparison window, so the server returns the percentage deltas; also the product-performance report with stock joined in, the acquisition rollup, and the sessions conversion query when the store allows it.
• Read orders: Pulls the specific orders behind a swing, such as one outlier order or a cluster of refunds, so the alert names them instead of guessing.
• Read discounts: Checks whether a discount code or automatic promotion was running when average order value moved.

Setup questions

• How many orders does this store take on a typical day?
• How big does a move have to be before you want to be alerted?
• Which number matters most to you: revenue, orders, average order value, or refunds?
• Are there days or seasons when this store's sales normally spike or dip?
