Products

Performance for every ASIN that sold in the period — revenue, units, traffic and conversion, side by side.

Buy Box

The share of this product's sessions where its own listing was the one shown by default, rather than a competing offer on the same listing.

Good: Losing the Buy Box for part of the time means Amazon showed a competitor's offer instead for that share of visits — there is no fixed "good" percentage, since it depends on how much competition exists on that listing.

From: traffic_by_asin()['buy_box'] in public/inc/metrics.php, from Amazon's own Sales & Traffic report.

Conv. by orders

The order-based conversion rate for one product, shown on its own summary card — the same figure the "Conv. orders" table column shows lower down the page.

Good: Read beside Conv. by units; the gap between the two is basket size.

From: traffic_by_asin()['conversion_orders'] in public/inc/metrics.php.

Conv. by units

The unit-based conversion rate for one product, shown on its own summary card — the same figure the "Conv. units" table column shows lower down the page.

Good: Usually close to Conv. by orders; a widening gap says customers are buying multiples per order.

From: traffic_by_asin()['conversion'] in public/inc/metrics.php.

Conv. orders

The order-based conversion rate in the full products table — how many sessions turned into an order, counted once no matter how many of that item the order contained.

Good: Read beside Conv. units, not alone.

From: traffic_by_asin()['conversion_orders'].

Conv. units

The unit-based conversion rate in the full products table — how many sessions resulted in at least one unit sold.

Good: Read beside Conv. orders, not alone.

From: traffic_by_asin()['conversion'].

Orders

How many distinct orders this product appeared in during the period.

Good: Watched alongside units — an order count close to units means most orders are for a single unit.

From: by_product()['orders'] in public/inc/metrics.php, a count of distinct amazon_order_id values.

Page views

How many times this product's listing page was viewed — Amazon counts repeat views in the same session, so this is usually higher than Sessions.

Good: A volume figure, read alongside Sessions and conversion rather than on its own.

From: traffic_by_asin()['page_views'].

Product

The listing this row is about.

Good: Not a figure.

From: the product catalogue, joined by ASIN.

Promos

The total value of promotional discounts applied to this product's orders in the period.

Good: Whether spending on promotions is worthwhile is a strategy decision for the business, not something this figure judges on its own.

From: by_product()['promos'] in public/inc/metrics.php, summed from orders.item_promo_discount.

Rank

Amazon's Best Sellers Rank for this product within its category.

Good: A smaller number is a better-selling position within that category — but ranks are not comparable across different categories.

From: products.sales_rank, as last recorded by the catalogue sync.

Revenue

What buyers paid for this product in the period, converted to USD.

Good: Compare against the same product's own prior period — see vs prior.

From: by_product()['revenue'] in public/inc/metrics.php.

Sessions

How many visits this product's listing received.

Good: A volume figure — read alongside conversion rate.

From: traffic_by_asin()['sessions'].

Share

What portion of the page's total revenue this product accounts for.

Good: Shares across the table add to 100%; read one beside the others.

From: this product's revenue divided by the total across all products shown.

Units

How many units of this product were ordered.

Good: Compare with revenue to see whether growth is coming from price or from volume.

From: by_product()['units'].

vs prior

How this product's revenue compares with the period of the same length right before it.

Good: The badge itself carries the direction and size of the change — there is no fixed target, only the product's own trend.

From: delta() applied to by_product() for the current and previous ranges.
