The Sales Overview is all about absolute numbers. Not Euros, Dollars, or Pounds, but your actual sales numbers. This is where you will see the number of transactions and the number of products sold broken down by the different variables.
Here are the insights you get from the Sales Overview:
- Find selling patterns in days, weeks, and months
- Deepen your understanding of your customer by understanding their preferred devices and payment types
- Optimize your website to your best acquisition channels
Note that the Sales Overview may not align with your Customers Report because it shows all sales, including canceled visits and refunds. The total numbers of canceled visits and refunds are shown in the overview table at the end of the page. However, neither will be reflected in the Customers Report as it shows the number of arrivals at your venue. You can read more about this in this article 4. The Sales Overview and Customers Report cannot be compared.

1. How to use the Sales Overview
1. Select Sales Overview within the Reports section of your left-hand side menu
2. Define the date range that you would like to analyze.
3. Or, if you prefer, select from predefined ranges
4. Choose which filters you want to apply. You have the option to choose between:
- Products or entire categories: This includes all your articles or products you have available in your Checkout. Including upsells.
- Checkout flows: Sales flows and reservation flows.
- Checkout acquisition channel: This defines the tool that your customer interacted with to make the transaction, including direct, email, modal window, Tap, Trigger Button, or the WonderBar.
- Traffic acquisition channels This defines the channels that your customer who made the transaction came from, including direct, direct via Tap, email, organic search, other, paid display, paid search, paid social, or social.
- Device type: This defines the device your customer used at the point of purchase, including mobile, desktop, or other.
- Payment method: This defines the payment method used for the transaction and depends on your setup payment methods.
- Language: This indicates the language the Checkout was used in and depends on your setup languages.
- Sales channels: If you have the reseller module enabled, you can filter by reseller.
After applying the filter, you can immediately see the revenue, the average order value, the average items per order, the website conversion rate, and the Checkout conversion rate. You can see the total number as well as a percentage indicating the difference compared to a previous period of the same length.
In this case, we choose adult tickets. We see, for example, that the revenue generated through adult tickets is 119.k but -60% compared to the month before.
Different from the reports at the bottom of this reports page, the filters allow you to choose, combine, and cross the variables that are of interest to you.
Do you wanna know how many parking ticket transactions were made from a mobile device? Or how many transactions were completed using PayPal? Sounds difficult but it is now so easy!

3. Sales/Revenue Overview
At the bottom of this page, you can find the Sales/Revenue Overview. This shows you:
- Amounts sold: The number of products sold.
- Average list price: The price of the product without discounts.
- Average price sold: The average price at which the product was sold, deducting the discount.
- Collected revenue: This is the revenue you generated via the tickets you sold through your Convious Checkout. The calculation is Amount sold * Average price paid.
Be aware that minor discrepancies may occur due to the rounding of prices. For example, if enabled, a rounding step size of 0.05 cents rounds prices 11.82 to 11.85 or 11.97 to 12.00.
