Why aren't my sales numbers updating on the dashboard?

Technical Q&A

Topic summary

Users are experiencing a dashboard issue where sales numbers fail to update in real-time, despite receiving order notifications and seeing orders in their system.

Initial Response:

  • Support acknowledged the problem and directed users to the Shopify status page for updates
  • However, multiple users reported the status page showed no known issues, creating confusion

Community Concerns:

  • Merchants expressed frustration about lack of proactive communication from Shopify regarding outages
  • Several users confirmed experiencing delays throughout the day, with some reporting incorrect totals as late as 9pm

Resolution Status:

I have had a few sales today (gotten notifications for them), yet my numbers have not updated. The orders are still visible but for some reason my dashboard is not updating.

Would be tremendously helpful (and professional) if Shopify notified merchants of outages or issues being worked on. I know they have our email because they bill us on-time every month.

And the status page link show no issues.

Yep, been lagging all day. Totals still not correct at almost 9pm. I’d love an update from Shopify!

This seems to still be a thing. Am I the only one still having this issue?
