How can we improve WooCommerce?

← WooCommerce

enable sales reports broken down by variation for each product.

Sales reports by product are fine for simple products, but for people with lots of variations that effect price, or manage their own stock counts, having reports that show how many of each variation were sold is very important.

    how can a shopping cart not do sales reports with product variations... a report that says you sold 10-TeeShirt A is basic BUT it also needs to report 2 - TeeShirtA - BLK - LG ; 5 - TeeShirtA - WHT - XL ; 3 TeeShirtA - BLK - MD. is there a reason this is a problem??

    Here is a sample SQL for fetching the product and variation id

    SELECT
    `woi`.`order_item_name` AS `order_item_name`,
    `woi`.`order_item_type` AS `order_item_type`,
    `woi`.`order_id` AS `order_id`,
    `woim`.`order_item_id` AS `order_item_id`,
    MAX((CASE
    WHEN (`woim`.`meta_key` = '_product_id') THEN `woim`.`meta_value`
    ELSE NULL
    END)) AS `product_id`,
    MAX((CASE
    WHEN (`woim`.`meta_key` = '_variation_id') THEN `woim`.`meta_value`
    ELSE NULL
    END)) AS `variation_id`,
    MAX((CASE
    WHEN (`woim`.`meta_key` = '_qty') THEN `woim`.`meta_value`
    ELSE NULL
    END)) AS `qty`,
    .....
    ....
    FROM
    (`wp_woocommerce_order_itemmeta` `woim`
    JOIN `wp_woocommerce_order_items` `woi`)
    WHERE
    (`woim`.`order_item_id` = `woi`.`order_item_id`)

    This is not the complete SQL but just to provide idea.

    I have a client who needs this ASAP. They would like a report on Product Variations and Sales Dates and include the details of the variations, e.g. they have size and colour for their product lines

    Quite strange that this is not part of woocommerce already, there seem to be enough people that need it, myself included.

    I'm shocked that this doesn't exist... Makes me have to rethink what I recommend to my ecommerce clients... Guess I'm back to Magento and drupal commerce. Ugh

    is there a valid plugin that can generate detailed sales reports with product variations?

  • Anonymous commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Running a report by product variation is inventory management 101...how can this still be missing from woo commerce reports?

  • Guy commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Same here. I have a couple of products with 10 variations each. Right now I have to manually go over all orders to figure out how much each variation sold. I was already disappointed with the general uselessness and lack of flexibility in WooCommerce reports, and the completely absence of it for this otherwise useful plugin.

    I purchased three! plug-ins already and none of them provide reports sorted by variation/payment gateway at the same time which I absolutely need for tax purposes. Would really appreciate advice...

  • J R commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    It's absolutely absurd that there is no core support for reports by product variation. Variations are supported out-of-the-box, and the only way you allow any useful reporting is through paid plugins? Ridiculous.

    This should have been an included feature since product variations were included in the product.

    I would love to see this. We offer books in physical and digital form. It would be great to see in a report which is preforming better.

    Our developer created a bunch of custom CSV exports for us, which a) don't blow up the Woo data cache, and b) provide multiple lines per order, one item per order. That allows easy Excel manipulation.

    glew.io is a paid solution. I use it for my other site and it reports products sold by variation.
