Short description

Purchase Analysis shows you at a glance how much you purchased in a period — broken down by category, brand, purchase source, sourcing method and sheet. You can immediately spot which areas dominate your purchase volume and where focus is shifting.

​
Requirements

  • Google Sheets permission (for sharing with family members)
  • At least one Sourcing Mastersheet with recorded purchases

​
Overview page layout

Purchase Analysis consists of several cards, all evaluating the same time range and the same sheet.

​
Filter bar at the top

  • Sheet selection — choose a single Sourcing Mastersheet or all sheets
  • Date range — quick selection or custom range

​
”Your KPIs” card

Shows the key metrics for the selected time range:
  • Purchase volume — total of all purchases
  • Average per day — volume divided by days
  • Average per unit — volume per purchased unit
  • Units purchased
  • Purchased ASINs — number of distinct products
Via the share icon at the top right you open the share overlay (see below).

​
Top cards

Per card you see name, units purchased, percentage share of purchase volume and euro amount:
  • Top categories — grouped by product category
  • Top brands — grouped by brand
  • Top purchase sources — where you bought from (source shop)
  • Top sourcing methods — which strategy led to the purchase
  • Sheet analysis — purchase volume per Sourcing Mastersheet
Clicking the magnifying glass icon in a card opens the detail page with the full list.

​
Detail page (PRO)

When you click the magnifying glass icon, you land on the corresponding detail page. At the top you see the sub-navigation with all dimensions — Categories, Brands, Sources, Methods, Products, Sheets — and can jump between them directly. The detail table extends the overview with profit KPIs (PRO feature, recognizable by the 🚀 symbol):
  • ASINs, Units, Ø / unit, Ø / day, Purchase volume
  • ROI %, Margin %, Profit / unit, Profit (total)
Via Search and the filter icon you narrow the list further.

​
Share / download KPIs

Via the share icon on the KPI card you open the share overlay. Choose a format and click Share (system share dialog) or Download (PNG):
  • Story (16:9) — for Instagram/TikTok stories
  • Post (4:3) — standard social posts
  • Post (1:1) — square (Instagram feed)

​
Step-by-step: Purchase analysis for a time range

​
Step 1: Open the module

In the navigation, go to Purchase Analysis.

​
Step 2: Select sheet

At the top left choose the desired Sourcing Mastersheet — or all sheets to see everything aggregated.

​
Step 3: Set time range

Click the date button and choose a quick range or a custom range.

​
Step 4: Open the detail view

Click the magnifying glass icon on one of the top cards to see the full list with all brands, categories, sources, methods, products or sheets — including profit KPIs (PRO).

​
Important notes

  • Data is based on Record Purchases from your Sourcing Mastersheets — only recorded purchases flow into the KPIs.
  • Values are shown in the currency of your home marketplace.
  • VAs only see the sheets they have the view_analysis right for.

​
Common issues

Issue: “Purchase volume is 0 even though I recorded purchases.” Solution: Check that the date range covers the purchase days and that you selected the right sheet. Issue: “A brand / source doesn’t appear in the top list.” Solution: The overview only shows the top entries. Via the magnifying glass icon, open the detail page with the full list.
