Reports

Using the Compare Products report

The Compare Products report lets you compare products, variations, product segments, variation segments, categories, brands, vendors, and groups side by side in a single view. Choose a date range, pick a metric, and analyze performance trends with cards, tables, or period breakdowns.

How to compare items

1

Open the Compare Products report

Navigate to Products → Compare Products or go directly to app.metorik.com/reports/compare-products.

Add items to compare

Click + Add items and select a type from the dropdown. You can compare:

  • Products

  • Variations

  • Product segments

  • Variation segments

  • Categories

  • Brands / Vendors

  • Groups

Search by name or ID, then click each item you want to add. You can mix different types in the same comparison.

View and analyze the comparison

Switch between view modes to see the data in different formats:

  • Cards: Summary cards with sparklines and key metrics for each item

  • Metrics: A table with totals for each item

  • Periods: A breakdown by time period

Each card shows the item’s performance relative to the leader in the comparison.

Export the comparison

Click the Export button to download the comparison data as a CSV file.

Similar comparison features are also available for orders and customers. See Using the Compare Orders report and Using the Compare Customers report for details.

Segment by order data

Click the Segment button at the top of the Compare Products report to apply order filters. This narrows the comparison to only products that appeared in orders matching your segment criteria – for example, orders from a specific country, coupon, or payment method. The report recalculates all metrics using only the matching orders, so you can compare product performance within a specific subset of sales.

What's next

Period limits

Each comparison is limited to a maximum of 120 periods. If your chosen date range exceeds this limit for the selected granularity – for example, more than three months of daily data or more than two years of weekly data – reduce the date range in the top right date picker. This keeps the report fast and responsive.
