Accessing Segments
Click on your profile picture and select Statistics from the menu. The Advanced Statistics page will open.
Navigate to the 4th tab labeled Segments.
If you have at least one product, you will see the following message:
New Creators: If you’re just starting out, you’ll see a message with a call-to-action explaining that you need at least one product.
- Click the CREATE A PRODUCT button to navigate to the page where you can upload your first product.
- Once your first product is created and approved, go back to the Segments page.
Click the “Choose a Segment to Analyze” button. This action will display an empty widget along with a few predefined segments ready for interaction.
Segments are groups of products designed for comparative analysis. The first four segments are created automatically, and they are called Predefined Segments. They provide instant insights into top-performing products. You will see the following segments in the legend:
- All Premium Items,
- Top 10 Best Sellers,
- Top 50 Best Sellers, and
- Top 100 Best Sellers.
Once you click "Run Analysis," a default analysis is created, and the widget populates with data. If there were sales in the selected time period, you’ll see a graph with multiple lines showing product performance over time, helping you explore trends in your sales data.
Now that you've set up your default analysis, it's time to explore further!
Play around with all the elements — Adjust dropdowns, edit the segment list, create custom segments — everything is flexible. Your data will remain safe, so explore without worry.
