WooCommerce sales don't keep office hours — orders land overnight, during a launch, in the middle of a campaign. The two numbers you want at a glance are simple: what did I sell, and what did I make? This guide shows you how to keep those on your phone for every store you run, sitting right next to the rest of your income.
Why a sales glance is harder than it should be
WooCommerce gives you a mobile app and the WordPress admin, and both are good — for running a single store. The friction shows up in two places.
The first is multiple stores.Plenty of WooCommerce merchants run more than one — a main brand, a side project, client stores — and there's no single screen that adds them all up. You log into one, then the next, and total it in your head.
The second is everything else you earn. Here WooCommerce has a particular quirk: it's a WordPress site, and WordPress sites very often also run AdSense. So your store revenue and your ad revenue come from the same website but live in completely different dashboards — never mind your YouTube, your subscriptions, or a second store on Shopify. The question that actually matters — how much is this whole business making? — has no single answer.
Aperio isn't here to replace the WooCommerce app. It's here for the at-a-glance view it can't give you: all your stores together, and your store sales next to every other revenue stream.
How to connect WooCommerce (no API keys to copy)
This is the easy part — there are no keys to generate or paste.
- Download Aperio and open it on your phone.
- Enter your store URL (for example,
store.example.com). - Approve read-only access in your store. You'll be sent to your store to approve — you may need to log into your WordPress admin first. One tap and you're done.
- Read your dashboard. Your store revenue appears in Aperio automatically, with a trend line and a comparison against the previous period. Connect as many stores as you run and they roll up into one figure.
One glance, every store. Download Aperio and connect your first WooCommerce store in a minute.
What Aperio shows you for WooCommerce
Aperio focuses on the two numbers that tell you the most at a glance — by day, and by store:
| Metric | What it tells you |
|---|---|
| Revenue | What your store made over the period |
| Items sold | How many units moved over the period |
That's deliberately focused. Revenue answers "how's business?" and items sold answers "what's actually moving?" — and watching them together is more useful than either alone. Revenue up while items sold is flat means you're selling higher-value orders; items sold up while revenue lags can mean discounting is doing the heavy lifting. Both, day by day, per store.
Because the data is broken out per date and per store, you can see today versus yesterday, this month versus last, and either a single store on its own or all of them combined.
One thing worth setting expectations on: Aperio gives you the headline sales view — revenue and units — not the full order ledger. Your WordPress admin stays the system of record for order details, taxes, refunds, and customers. Aperio is the fast daily pulse; WooCommerce remains the books.
See your store sales next to everything else
This is where tracking WooCommerce in Aperio pays off. On its own, your store revenue is one slice of the picture. Beside your AdSense, AdMob, YouTube, RevenueCat, Patreon, and Shopify numbers, it becomes part of a single total — the real answer to "what is this business making?" One dashboard, every revenue stream, on your phone. Here's how to see all your revenue in one place.
