Vendor Analytics Dashboard: overview1 of 15
What it does
The core vendor dashboard shows a few totals. Vendors want to know what sells, what is viewed but not bought, who their best customers are, how much was refunded and what their payouts look like.
Vendor Analytics Dashboard adds an Analytics page to the vendor panel and a Vendor analytics page to the admin panel. Every figure is compared with the previous period or the same period last year, and every list exports to CSV.
What it changes for your store
10 key figures per vendor, each with the change against a comparison period.
Product views, cart adds and view-to-order rate per product show where listings lose buyers.
An anonymous marketplace median lets vendors see where they stand.
The admin compares all vendors by revenue, share, growth, conversion, refunds and commission.
Strict data isolation. Vendors only ever see their own data.
Cached aggregate queries for large marketplaces, 0 core file changes.

Why does the revenue differ from the core dashboard?
The core dashboard sums orders in its own status selection. This add-on counts the statuses you choose in Order statuses counted as sales, by default the statuses that count for vendor payouts, so the figures match vendor accounting. Parent orders of multi-vendor carts are never counted twice.
Are product views available for the time before the installation?
No. CS-Cart keeps only an all-time view counter per product without dates, so the add-on starts its own per-day counter when it is installed. Sales figures are available for all existing orders right away.
Why are product views lower than in Google Analytics?
A product is counted once per visitor session, bots and staff are excluded, and with the CS-Cart 4.21 full page cache, page views served directly from the cache do not reach the store. The counter is meant for comparing products and periods inside your marketplace, not as a traffic tool.
Can a vendor see another vendor's figures?
No. The vendor is always taken from the logged-in vendor user, every query is filtered by it, and a vendor cannot open the comparison page or the marketplace dashboard. The benchmark shows only anonymous medians, and only when at least 3 vendors have sales.
Can I hide customer names or payouts from vendors?
Yes. Turn off Show top customers to vendors or Show payouts and balance to vendors on the Vendor panel tab. Vendors can export CSV controls the exports.
Can I give only some vendors access?
Yes, with the bundled Vendor privileges add-on: give the View vendor analytics privilege to the vendor user groups that should see the page. To switch the page off for all vendors, turn off Vendors can open their analytics.
Will the add-on slow down a large marketplace?
Figures are calculated with a few aggregate queries per page on indexed columns and cached for 15 minutes by default (adjustable). The storefront only gets one small database write per first product view in a session and per add to cart, and nothing is printed on the storefront.
How are refunds counted?
From vendor accounting: amounts recorded as Order refunded (order edits that lower the total and RMA refunds) in the period. With the RMA add-on, return requests are counted too.
Does it work with the CS-Cart 4.21 full page cache?
Yes. Nothing is printed on cached pages, and the counter writes are excluded from cache invalidation, so they never purge cached pages.
What does uninstalling remove?
The view and cart-add counters, the settings, the privilege and the language variables. Orders, payouts and other core data are only read by the add-on and stay untouched.
Is CS-Cart (not Multi-Vendor) supported?
No. The add-on is built for Multi-Vendor marketplaces; installing it on CS-Cart Standard or Ultimate is refused.
What happens if the license lapses?
Without a valid license (no key after the 14-day start period, an invalid or revoked key, a domain the license does not cover, or no successful check for 14 days), the analytics pages and CSV exports show a notice instead of figures and new product views are not counted. Orders, payouts and the storefront keep working, and collected counters are kept. Once the license is valid again, everything is back.
The admin panel shows a license notice.
Open Add-ons → Manage add-ons → Vendor Analytics Dashboard → Settings → License. The status line says what is wrong: no key, a key for another add-on, a revoked license, or a domain that the license does not cover. Fix it and click Check now. See License.
Does the add-on work on my staging copy?
Yes. Subdomains of your licensed domain (for example staging.example.com) and local development hosts (localhost, private IP addresses, .local, .test) are covered by the same license.
What happens if your license server is down?
Nothing changes for 14 days: the add-on keeps working and retries every hour. Only if no check succeeds for 14 days is it switched off until the next successful check.
Does the license check slow down my storefront or checkout?
No. The check runs in the admin panel or from cron, once a day. The storefront only reads the stored result.
Add a released add-on to this order and save 15% on it. It uses the same edition and store domain.
