Info

StoreFront 5.0 Your site should now be built, configured, tested, and secured, and you should be ready to begin taking orders and assuming the management duties for the site. These will include retrieving sales reports, advertising, managing a mailing list, and creating sales and discounts. These features of StoreFront 5.0 and how to use them are covered in this chapter. The StoreFront Sales Reports StoreFront contains two sets of sales reporting tools to allow you to monitor ordering activity in your site. The first set of tools can be accessed by clicking the Administrator icon of the StoreFront toolbar in FrontPage, then selecting Reports. The second set of Sales Reports is composed of a set of ASP files in the admin folder of your web. These tools can be accessed through a browser to retrieve sales reports for your web from any computer with Internet access. There are 6 basic Sales Reports tools. These are described briefly below. Step-bystep instructions for the use of each sales report can be found in the following sections. · Sales Details: this is the standard StoreFront Sales Report. Sales Details reports will list all individual orders that have been placed within a specified date range. · Sales Summary: this reporting tool will summarize net and gross sales for a specified date range. · Transaction Service Reports: this report will only be useful if you are using a live transaction processing service such as CyberCash, AuthorizeNet, or LinkPoint. Use this sales reporting tool to view authorization numbers and other pertinent information. · Affiliate Partners Report: if you choose to use StoreFront’s Affiliate Partners program, you can use this reporting tool to view the total sales referred from any of your partners. · Product Sale Report: the Product Sale Report functions similar to the Sales Summary, but produces a sales summary for only a single product instead of counting all sales. This report is an excellent tool for gauging the popularity of a new item by viewing its total sales within a certain time period. · Retrieve Order: this tool can be used to retrieve a sales report for a single order. SETTING A DATE RANGE FOR THE SALES REPORT The Sales Reports tools allow you to use a number of different date formats to expedite the process of retrieving a sales report. You can set a date range by right-clicking on the button for any one of the Sales Report types, or by selecting a Report type from the Reports menu. See the descriptions below for more information. 176
User Guide Year to Date, Month to Date, Week to Date, Today: select one of these short-cuts to view the sales reports for the specified time period. The reports displayed will be for the Report type you right-clicked or selected from the Reports drop-down menu. Define a Date Range: Click Define after selecting a Report type from the Reports dropdown menu or when right-clicking on the button for a Report type. This will allow you to specify the exact date range you would like to collect sales reports for. Set a Default: You can set a default date range to be used by all reports by clicking Misc, then selecting default. Specify the date range, or choose a short-cut such as Week-to-Date. You can return to this menu at any time to change the date range used by your reports. CREATING A SALES DETAILS REPORT The Sales Details Report is the standard StoreFront sales report. It will list all individual orders that have been placed in your site within the specified date range. Any of the orders in the list can be viewed individually for greater detail. Follow the instructions below to produce a Sales Details Report using the Sales Reports tools. 1. Connect to your database using the Store Administrator. If you are unsure of how to do this, please refer to Connecting to a Remote or Local Database, page 21, for further instructions. 2. Click the Reports option. You will be presented with a list of the available report types. Set the date range you would like to produce a report for (see Setting a Report Date Range, page 176), then click Sales Details to produce the Sales Details Report. Follow the instructions below to produce this report using the Online Sales Reporting tool in the admin folder of your web. 1. Open a browser. Enter the URL to the sfreports.asp file in the ssl/admin folder of your web, for example: http://www.yourweb.com/ssl/admin/sfreports.asp 177
