June: Shop A: 488 (all Marketplace). Shop B: 151 (all Marketplace).

Deja, that's awesome! To be honest, since ANS is available for Marketplace and Direct Delivery, I wanted to use that in order to get similar reports out of my sales, too. However, there is so few documentation on it, so I spent lots of time only to figure out in which way the data is sent / to be retrieved. Therefore, I thought: "There are so many Merchants - at least a few of them will have had the same problems, so let's search for their solution!" - However, I couldn't find any useful information or even tools at all. Still, over time, I noticed that there are a lot of Merchants with tools like yours at their hands. So, obviously, people are inventing the wheel over and over, which somewhat is a pitty. So, what I'm trying to say here: your tool looks extremely nice and helpful, maybe you should share. Currently, I'm working on my own ANS Processor (the graph screenshot is taken from it), but there is still so much to do and I guess I'm not the best coder available. Either way, as soon as I've managed to put a somewhat stable "beta" together, I'll share. So, let me ask you some more questions on your tool: How does it gain its data? ANS, CSV, Inworld scripts? Or a combination? Is ColdFusion capable of rendering those charts directly, or how did you implement these? Hm, I guess I'll continue to work on my tool right now!

@Calamari: So, "Hippo Visit" will give you stats on the age of you customers? @Deja: How did you create that graph? @Czari: It's awesome to hear that. I only had an InWorld shop once, for some month - and there were very few sales, so I decided to go with Marketplace only. Maybe I should retry, too. @All: It's probably not too relevant, but the numbers given in my initial post may be incorrect, because I just noticed that some of my records were in another time format than others (CSV files exported from Marketplace are in UTC, not SLT!). So, here are the correct values as graphs - and this time, all UTC: T It's based on 1900 records, where the first record dates to the 2. Nov. 2010.

How did you gain these information? Manual lookup?

Latetly, me and a friend (we're running a MPlace Shop together) discussed several aspects regarding statistical data. Since the current MPlace doesn't really supply useful data, we decided to download the CSV files (a useful feature at least!) and evaluated some interesting data from it. What we were most interested in was the question: are there any "Purchase peaks", weekday-wise or time-of-day-wise? Now that we gained that data, I thought it would be nice to share, so here goes some of our data. Purchases by Weekday in Percent (overall): Mon: ~14%Tue: ~14%Wed: ~15%Thu: ~14%Fri: ~11%Sat: ~15%Sun: ~17%Conclusion: All days have about the same amount of Transactions, except Friday and Sunday, where Friday is remarkably weak and Sunday remarkably strong. Purchases by Time of Day (overall): I don't want to list all 24 Hours with its according values, so let me conclude right away: The most purchases happened between 2pm and 2am, where 8pm to Midnight was especially strong2am to 6am, as well as 1pm to 2pm builds the center span6am to 1pm got the fewest purchasesAll data is based upon ~2000 sold/purchased Items (~1900 Orders), times are in SLT. Maybe you want to join in and this way, we can see if there might be a general trend or the values we've gained are only true for our little shop. Also, if you've got any ideas for other useful data that could be drawn out of the CSV files, shoot!
