- Total sales

- Marketplace vs. Faire Direct orders

-
Brands with Faire Direct are also able to see metrics such as:

- Faire Direct benefits
Why do we surface these metrics?
We provide insights into how you're performing on key business performance and customer service metrics related to order fulfillment—like shipping orders on time, delivering complete orders, fulfilling orders after accepting them, and responding to messages promptly.
Retailers consider these factors when deciding whether to reorder from your brand. Consistently providing excellent customer service helps build retailer confidence and can lead to more sales on Faire. While your performance on these fulfillment metrics can influence buyer behavior, these metrics are not visible to retailers.
How do I filter by date?
The date range filter on your Analytics page will apply to all of your shop performance metrics listed. The date range drop down menu will default to the current quarter.

How do I compare my analytics to a different time period?
At the top of your Analytics page, you can select a prior time frame you’d like to compare your data to.
- Prior period: This would compare the data you are currently looking at to the same data from the prior period.
- Prior period when looking at ‘This month’ would look at the previous month.
- Prior period when looking at ‘This quarter’ would look at the same month of the prior quarter. Looking at July this quarter would compare to April of the prior quarter as they both are the first month in the quarter.
- Prior period when looking at ‘This year’ would look at this calendar year to date, compared to the same time period prior to it.
- Prior period when looking at ‘Last 30 days’ would look at the last 30 days, and the 30 days prior to that as a comparison.
- Prior period when looking at ‘90 days’ would look at the last 90 days, and the 90 days prior to that as a comparison.
- Prior period when looking at ‘12 months’ would look at the last 12 months, and the 12 months prior to that as a comparison.
- Prior period when looking at ‘custom date range’ will compare the date range select to the exact same time period prior. If you have selected a three day period to review, the comparison will be for the three day time period prior to that.
- Year over Year:
- Year over year when looking at ‘This month’ would look at the same month in the previous calendar year.
- Year over year when looking at ‘This quarter’ would look at the same month in the previous calendar year.
- Year over year when looking at ‘This year’ would look at this calendar year to date, compared to the same time period in the year prior. If we are looking at Jan 1 2026 to July 13, 2026, we would compare it to Jan 1 2025 to July 13, 2025.
- Year over year when looking at ‘Last 30 days’ would look at the last 30 days, and the same 30 day range in the previous year.
- Year over year when looking at ‘90 days’ would look at the last 90 days, and the same 90 day range in the previous year.
- Year over year when looking at ‘12 months’ would look at the last 12 months, and the same 12 months in the previous year.
- Year over year when looking at ‘custom date range’ will compare the date range select to the exact same time period in the year prior. If you have selected a three day period to review, the comparison will be for the same three day time period in the year prior to that.
Why don’t comparison date ranges line up exactly in my Analytics?
When you compare two time periods in your analytics, like your past 30 days and previous 30 days, you might notice the dates don't line up exactly the way you'd expect. This is intentional, and it makes your comparisons more accurate.
We align both periods so they start on the same day of the week. For example, if your past 30 days starts on a Monday, your previous 30 days will also start on a Monday, even if that means shifting the start date by a day or two.
We do this because sales patterns often follow a weekly rhythm. Weekends can look very different from weekdays, so lining up the days of the week means you're comparing like with like: weekends to weekends, Mondays to Mondays, and so on. Without this adjustment, you could end up comparing a weekend to a weekday, which makes trends harder to spot.

Does this data populate instantly?
Your analytics update once per day, not in real time. Each night, we calculate the latest numbers for all your analytics based on activity through the end of the previous day. The data updates in UTC time.
This means:
- There's up to a 24-hour delay. An order placed a few minutes ago won't show up in your analytics data until the next update — at the latest, the following day.
- Date ranges reflect the last completed day, not "right now." If you look at "This Month," "This Quarter," or any range ending today, the most recent data point you'll see is from the prior day — not today.
- Updates run on UTC time, regardless of your own timezone.
Example: If today is July 29 and you select "This Quarter," the graph will end on July 28 — because that's the last full day we've processed.
