Live View
On this page
Live View is a real-time screen for today. It shows the orders placed since midnight and what they add up to, and updates itself while you keep it open. Use it on a busy day, during a sale, or right after you share a product on social media.
Open Live View#
- Open Live View from your desk. It is in the Insights group, next to Analytics.
- Leave the page open. It refreshes on its own about every 20 seconds.
The green dot next to the title shows the page is live, and the time beside it shows when the numbers last updated.
Today's orders and sales#
| Part of the screen | What it shows |
