Comparing product and variation performance

Metorik's Compare Products report lets you analyze and compare the sales performance of individual products and variations side by side. You can view revenue and units sold over time, switch between different time groupings, and export the data for further analysis.

How to compare products and variations

1

Open the Compare Products report

Navigate to Products → Compare Products or go directly to app.metorik.com/reports/compare-products. There's also an identical page for comparing categories at app.metorik.com/compare-categories.

2

Select the products to compare

Use the search box at the top of the report to find products. You can search by product name or product ID. Click on each product or variation you want to add to the comparison.

Understanding variations and variants

Metorik uses different terminology depending on your platform:

  • WooCommerce: Product variations

  • Shopify: Product variants

Both refer to the different versions of a product (such as size, color, or material options). The Compare Products report works the same way for both platforms—you can mix products and their individual variations in the same comparison.
