What each dashboard metric measures

Exact definitions for every number Atlas shows, the period each one covers, and which are incremental rather than gross.

Written by Eddie Lavandera

Every number Atlas shows, what it counts, and over what period. The most important thing on this page: bundler revenue and cart upsell revenue are incremental, not gross. They measure the lift an offer produced, not the value of the orders that contained one. That is why they do not match Shopify's sales totals, and why they should not.

In this article:


Your metrics

Metric

Definition

AI store revenue

Revenue from orders placed through pages Atlas built: product pages, stores, listicles and advertorials. Bundle and cart drawer revenue are counted on their own, not here.

Bundle upsell revenue

Additional revenue from your bundle offers that you would otherwise not have earned. Calculated as the increase in average order value from customers who accepted a bundle offer, compared with those who did not.

Cart upsell revenue

Additional revenue from your cart upsells that you would otherwise not have earned. Calculated the same way, and including shipping protection and other add-ons.

Revenue per visitor

Revenue from visitors who viewed an Atlas page, divided by those visitors.

ℹ️ Bundler revenue and cart upsell revenue are not subsets of AI revenue that you can add up. They are separate calculations measuring lift, so adding them to your Shopify sales total will overstate your revenue.


Which period each number covers

This trips people up, because different periods are on screen at once.

Element

Period

Your metrics and their charts

The date range selected in the header

The projects table columns

Not the date range: the table ignores it

Milestones

Lifetime

Leaderboard

Current calendar month

Usage counters on your subscription page

Current billing cycle, which is not the calendar month

⚠️ Your billing cycle is 30 days long and starts on the day your paid plan started, not on the first of the month. Comparing the dashboard's monthly figure against your usage page will not match.


Projects table columns

The columns in the dashboard's projects table change with the tab you are on.

All, Stores and Product pages

CVR

Conversion rate, the percentage of visitors who completed a purchase

The Landing pages tab shows when each was Created. The full list, opened with View all, adds Visitors and Last updated.

Bundles

Column

Definition

Orders Atlas leaves out

Atlas deliberately excludes some orders from every revenue figure above, so that its numbers reflect real trading rather than testing or noise.

Excluded from all Atlas revenue tracking:

  • Orders paid through a test or bogus payment gateway

  • Cash on delivery orders

  • Orders that are unpaid, refunded, partially refunded, or voided

  • Unusually large orders compared with your store's recent average

  • Exceptionally high value orders, which are also flagged for internal review

  • Orders with no payment gateway recorded

ℹ️ This filtering also protects you. Bundle revenue and cart order counts drive your usage tiers, so an excluded order never pushes your bill into a higher tier.

If you sell mainly through cash on delivery, Atlas will report far less revenue than Shopify does, and that is expected rather than a fault. See Why is my revenue showing as zero when I have sales?

If you believe a genuine order has been excluded, contact support from the chat bubble in Atlas, or at support@helloatlas.io, with the order number and they can review it.
