Daasity vs. Shopify Financial Metrics

Applies to Pro merchants who signed up for Daasity prior to July 15, 2020

You may notice your sales figures do not match what you see in the Shopify UI. This is because there is different logic being applied to certain aspects of how orders and transactions are recorded. See below for details.

  Transactional Sales Report Order & Order Line Revenue
Row Level Will have a row for every transactional event in a purchase or a refund and thus will have a row for every item in an order or refund and additionally may have rows for additional detail like shipping, order adjustments, etc. Will only have a row for every item in an order.  All other values are either assigned to the order (refunds) or allocated to an item (shipping)
Dates There are three dates in the report: (i) transaction date which is the date of the transactional event, (ii) order date which is the date of the order and (iii) refund date which is the date of that particular refund (there can be multiple refunds) Order date is the only date as all data is linked back to the original order and thus the order date
Refunds Refunds and items, shipping, adjustments in refunds are each individual lines Refunds are associated back to the order and the original order date.  Items refunded are linked to the original order item and any shipping or adjustments are allocated back at the item level
Gift Cards A purchase that includes a gift card is an order but a transaction that only includes a gift card is not considered an order. A purchase that includes a gift card is an order but a transaction that only includes a gift card is not considered an order

Discounts Equates to line item discount + order level discount share for a collection of sales. The total dollar value reduction is applied to a sale in the form of a discount.
