The flexibility of this report tool will allow you to create specific reports fitting your needs.
Reports are available in both the Essential and the Business edition of HikaShop.

Here are the different display which are available:
Data Type: What do you want to visualize?

This section is the most important if you want to generate a customized report fitting your needs.

The filter section will for example filter the data in order to use only specific elements for the chart.
- Order Status : You can choose here the order status of the visualized orders. Indeed, you can display only the shipped or created orders as well as the confirmed orders only. You can select multiple status with the CTRL key of your keyboard.

The compare section allows you to generate compared reports. Thanks to this options you will for example be able to generate a report showing the sales of this year and the sales of last year, giving you the opportunity to compare the evolution of your shop between the two years.
- Compare : You can choose to compare your data either on a period or on a value base. Values will allows to compare orders and sales dividing them on the selected criterias. If you check the products option, you will be able to see the sales of each product separately. These options are cumulative so you can see the evolution of your products’ sales depending on the payment method. The period option will simply make a comparison between the sales of the chosen period (see above) and the sales made on the last same period (for example the last week if your defined period is this week) or on the same period last year.
- Limit: This option defines a limit to the number of lines/columns displayed. If you have 100 products and chose the product compare option, the report will be unreadable so you can set this option and only the best products will be displayed.
- Encoding format: Define the format of the exported csv.
