Important note about discrepancies for Shopify

There are known small discrepancies between AnyX Sales Channel and AnyX Store Channel (Shopify) reports when compared with Shopify's own analytics report.

These not due to reporting errors or failing to pull data but rather differing reporting definitions and the influencer of currency conversions.

Beyond the differences explained below, the influence of currency conversions on AnyX also causes minor discrepancies in overall revenue figures when comparing the data on the analytics module against Shopify's reports.

1. Differences in "Gross Sales" / "Total Sales"

AnyX's Gross Sales metric is calculated including shipping costs but excluding any returns or cancellations that might have taken place during the course of the selected timeframe.

Shopify's total sales (revenue) however excludes shipping costs but includes any returns or cancellations that might have taken place during the course of the selected timeframe.

2. Differences in the Number of Orders

AnyX does not include in the count of Orders any returns and cancellations whereas on Shopify, the total order metric includes returns and cancellations that might have taken place during the selected timeframe.

3. Differences in Discounts

AnyX does not include discounts factored in for Returns . Cancel whereas on Shopify, the total discounts includes orders that ended up in returns / cancellations as well.

4. Differences in "Shipping Costs"

AnyX's shipping fee estimates do not include those from returns / cancellations whereas Shopify's shipping charges do include those from returns / cancellations.
