Running an e-commerce store is a whirlwind. Whether you're a Shopify guru or a WooCommerce wizard, you're managing inventory, marketing, and a dozen other things. But are you truly understanding your customers' purchasing habits? For many, diving into analytics feels complex and costly.

This guide will walk you through the simple process of obtaining your report and demonstrate the immediate value you'll gain.

Before You Begin: Export Your Sales Data

Creating Your Report: A 4-Step Guide

Once you have your CSV file, the rest is just a few clicks away.

Step 1: Name Your Report & Upload Your File

First, give your report a clear, descriptive name (e.g., "Q3 Sales Analysis"). Then, upload the CSV file you just exported from your store.

Step 2: Choose Your Mapping Method

This is where you tell our AI what each column in your file means. You have two choices:

  • Use a Preset: If you used our export guides for Shopify or WooCommerce, select the corresponding preset for automatic mapping.
  • Manual Mapping: If you have a custom CSV, you can map the columns manually.

Step 3: Select Your Product Identifier

If you chose a preset, you now decide how to identify your products.

  • By Product Name: Analyzes relationships based on the product titles in your orders.
  • By Product SKU: Analyzes relationships based on unique SKUs. This is often more accurate if you have product variants.

Step 4: Define Your Analysis Scope

Finally, choose how you want to group the transactions.

  • Basket Level: Analyzes items bought together in a single order. This is best for finding in-cart cross-sell opportunities.
  • Customer Level: Groups all of a customer's past orders into one large "basket." This is powerful for finding long-term buying habits and increasing customer lifetime value.

After this step, simply click "Create Report" and let our AI do the work!
