- 6.Click "Sync Data"
- Note: this process may take some time to complete
- LTV Numbers only includes WooCommerce orders which have actually been paid and does not include pending orders that have not yet been paid.
- WooCommerce data has no way of distinguishing between initial sales and rebills. Thus all revenue will appear in LTV Numbers under "Order Revenue" entirely and not "Rebill Revenue".
- Refund amounts are accounted for in LTV Numbers but due to WooCommerce data limitations, the amounts are not applied to specific products so refunds will not appear in product breakdowns.
- Related to the WooCommerce's Reports dashboard:
- The numbers to the left of the graph on the WooCommerce dashboard are just wrong. If you can figure out how they are calculated, let us know!
- This is part the reason why we created LTV Numbers in the first place - so you can see numbers that are correct!
- The WooCommerce orders export and LTV Numbers match each other (when adjusted for timezone). And they both match the light blue line on the WooCommerce dashboard graph (under the hood, they call it "gross sales" but is actually net sales).
- The WooCommerce dashboard does not actually show the gross revenue anywhere. In other words, it only shows net revenue and calls that gross revenue.
- WooCommerce data is in the timezone configured in your WooCommerce general settings (currently New York).
- LTV Numbers is currently in your local timezone (in a future update, you'll be able to set your preferred timezone).
