The dashboard tracks the following metrics:

- **Total Sales** – Gross sales including shipping, taxes, duties, and fees, minus any discounts and returns. This includes all sales channels.
- **Average Order Value** – Gross sales (minus discounts) divided by the total number of orders. This excludes edits, exchanges, or returns made to an order after initial placement.
- **GMV** – Sales price of products multiplied by the number of products sold.
- **Orders** – Total number of orders made across all sales channels.
- **Sessions** chart – Number of user sessions over time. A session represents a period of user activity on your site. This chart helps monitor overall site traffic trends or identify peak activity periods.
  To enable tracking the session, a developer must add the following configuration in `appsettings.json`:

```json
{
  "Commerce": {
    "DashboardOptions": {
      "EnableTrackingSession": true
    }
  }
}
```

If you do not have this setting, the default value of `EnableTrackingSession` is `false`, and the chart is blank.

- **Conversion Rate** – Percentage of the number of conversions (customers who already purchased) for total number of visitors (unique website visitors) in a period.

- **Cart Abandonment Rate** – Percentage of shopping carts that were abandoned. This chart compares abandonment rates over time and helps monitor the effectiveness of cart recovery strategies.

- **Revenue Per Visitor** – The average revenue generated from each site visitor. This chart measures the value each visitor brings to your business and tracks changes in visitor quality or spending habits.
