I am wondering if Shopify (like Shopkeep) has a report that shows the best times of the day that sales go through your brick and mortar throughout the month or week. If anyone has info, please pass it on.
Thank you!
Topic summary
Finding peak in-store sales times in Shopify. The original question seeks a report (similar to Shopkeep) showing best times of day for brick‑and‑mortar sales over weeks or months.
Two solutions surfaced:
- Third‑party app: Better Reports can create custom reports highlighting peak sales by time of day, week, or month, with 60+ built‑in reports and scheduled exports (email/Google Drive). A 14‑day trial is offered.
- Native Shopify report: Use Reports > Sales Over Time, set a date range, then Group By “Hour of Day” to see hourly sales distribution and identify peak periods. A screenshot was provided illustrating this setup.
Outstanding issue: A participant cannot find the “Sales Over Time” report on the Basic or Shopify subscription levels and asked if availability depends on plan. No confirmation yet, so plan‑based access remains unclear.
Status: Partially answered with both an app‑based and a native method. The question about which Shopify plans include the “Sales Over Time” (with Hour of Day grouping) report is unresolved.
Hi @ShelleyRobi ,
Tiia here from Better Reports support team.
I believe our app Better Reports may be able to help. We can create a custom report for you that shows when peak sales occur at your locations during the day, week, month, etc.
In addition to building custom reports to meet your specific needs, you’ll have access to 60+ built-in reports that cover many common use cases for merchants and our reports can be scheduled to send to your email (as Excel, csv, or pdf) or Google Drive at set frequencies.
I encourage you to install Better Reports and start your free 14-day trial, and I’ll be happy to set this up for you.
What do you think?
In Shopify go to the Reports menu and there is a report called Sales Over Time - in which you can select a Date Range then Group By “Hour of Day”., this gives your sales over time.
Is there a subscription level that this report shows up in? I’m not seeing it in my report options at “basic” or “Shopify”.
