The topic is not only about applying a single tactic. It is about understanding the customer need, choosing a practical workflow, and using the right metrics to decide whether the strategy is actually working.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Gross order totals can create a misleading picture when reports include refunded, failed, or cancelled orders. Store managers need a clear method for filtering order statuses and reviewing net results before making inventory, marketing, or forecasting decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this guide, store owners will learn how to approach WooCommerce reports exclude refunds step by step and apply the ideas more efficiently with <a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/plugins\/woocommerce-report\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=custom-report-without-refund\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">REPORTiT &#8211; Advanced Reporting for WooCommerce<\/a>. The goal is to measure actual sales performance without overstating revenue through refunded or cancelled orders. The article should give readers enough context to choose a suitable approach, avoid common mistakes, and move from a general idea to a repeatable WooCommerce workflow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Excluding cancelled and refunded orders can make performance analysis more reliable. <a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/complete-woo-reporting-guide\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=custom-report-without-refund\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Guide to WooCommerce reports<\/a> offers a broader view of the available metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Understanding Order Status Impact on WooCommerce Reports<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Order statuses in WooCommerce are used to track the lifecycle of each purchase. Reviewing the Status allows managers to follow every purchase from initial checkout to final fulfillment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most common statutes in WooCommerce are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Processing,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Completed,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>On Hold,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cancelled,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And Refunded<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If no filters are applied on WooCommerce revenue reports, the tools automatically include refunded and cancelled orders in aggregated metrics like total sales, order count, and average order value. This means that data is not effective for evaluating sales performance because a portion of sales amount was never actually earned.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To have accurate performance evaluations resulting in strong budgeting decisions, you need to exclude refunded and cancelled orders and pay attention to the sales report data based on completed and meaningful transactions.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Creating Custom Reports Without Refunds and Cancellations in WooCommerce<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finding a trustable solution for generating WooCommerce sales reports is the most challenge of store managers. If you are managing a small business or you are at the early stage of managing an online store, the built in analytics of WooCommerce can meet the requirements. However, when your store grows, you need to rely on an advanced reporting plugin.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the following sections, we\u2019ll examine how to create custom reports that exclude refunds and cancelled orders with WooCommerce analytics and REPORTiT plugin as one of the best solutions for generating WooCommerce custom sales reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Advanced WooCommerce Reporting (REPORTiT) Plugin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/plugins\/woocommerce-report\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=custom-report-without-refund\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">REPORTiT &#8211; Advanced Reporting for WooCommerce<\/a> is designed for store owners who need a comprehensive tool for precise control over their data. This all in one solution provides deep filtering, customizable visualizations, and accurate financial insights compared to default WooCommerce analytics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Below we walk you through a step-by-step guide to show you how to create a custom report that excludes refunded and cancelled orders using the REPORTiT plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Install and Activate the Plugin<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The first step is to download the ZIP file and install it from your WordPress dashboard. Once activated, the plugin adds the iThemeland menu to the dashboard and you can click on the REPORTiT submenu to open the main page of the plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Navigate to the Orders Revenue Dashboard<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the main menu and navigate to <strong>Revenue &gt; Orders<\/strong>. This is the most important report for tracking sales performance based on order status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/01-open-order-revenue-report.png\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"234\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/01-open-order-revenue-report.png\" alt=\"open order revenue report\" class=\"wp-image-50661\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Open orders report<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Select the Desired Date Range<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Next, choose the time period you want to analyze. You can select from predefined presets such as Today, Last 7 Days, Last 30 Days, or This Month, or you can manually define a custom range using the calendar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Selecting the correct date range is essential for comparing campaigns, seasonal trends, or specific promotional periods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/02-select-date-range.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"659\" height=\"554\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/02-select-date-range.png\" alt=\"Select report date range\" class=\"wp-image-50662\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Choose report date range<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By applying the date range, you can see an overview of your store\u2019s performance along with powerful filtering and visualization tools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Exclude Refunded and Cancelled Orders by Status<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To create custom reports that exclude refunds and cancelled orders in WooCommerce report plugin, you need to use the Filter Form. In this form, follow the below instructions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Locate the <strong>Status<\/strong> field<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set the condition to <strong>Is not<\/strong>,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Select <strong>Refunded<\/strong> and <strong>Cancelled<\/strong>.&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Apply this filter to ensure that any order which did not result in a successful sale is completely removed from the report.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/03-apply-filter-on-report.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"270\" height=\"420\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/03-apply-filter-on-report.png\" alt=\"Apply desierd filter on report\" class=\"wp-image-50663\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Exclude refunded and cancelled orders in filter form<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, the sales report analysis becomes significantly cleaner and more reliable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 5: Analyze the Visual Report Section<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">After filtering, you can see key metrics in the form of cards and interactive charts at the first part of the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To evaluate the sales performance, you can click on each cart like Net Sales, Total Sales, or Average Items Per Order to visualize the date in the chart below.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/04-analyze-generated-report.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1103\" height=\"859\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/04-analyze-generated-report.png\" alt=\"Analyze generated report\" class=\"wp-image-50664\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Analyze visula report<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It is possible to switch between bar and line charts depending on your preference.

The table usually includes the following columns:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Because refunded and cancelled orders are excluded, the <strong>Status<\/strong> column will only show meaningful values such as Completed or On Hold.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Store owners looking for in-depth analysis, auditing sales, and understanding how individual customers and products contribute to revenue, can analyze this report precisely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By generating custom reports that exclude refunds and cancelled orders in WooCommerce, they are able to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Evaluate real sales performance,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Measure campaign effectiveness,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Optimize inventory planning,&nbsp;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And make informed pricing decisions&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06-customize-report-columns.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1089\" height=\"388\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/06-customize-report-columns.png\" alt=\"Customize report coulmns\" class=\"wp-image-50666\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Customize report columns<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Using Default WooCommerce Analytics Plugin<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The built-in analytical tool of WooCommerce is a basic solution to create custom reports that exclude refunds and cancelled orders. Although it has limited capabilities compared to the REPORTiT, it suits the requirements of smaller stores or users who need only basic reporting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 1: Open the Orders Analytics Section<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From your WordPress dashboard, navigate to <strong>Analytics &gt; Orders<\/strong>. This section provides a high-level overview of order performance, including revenue, order count, and trends over time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 2: Set the Date Range<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To ensure the report reflects the period you want to analyze, at the top of the analytics screen, find the data picker and set your desired date range with preset options or the built in calendar.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 3: Filter report<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next step is applying the filters. To create custom reports that exclude refunds and cancelled orders in WooCommerce default analytics, try to:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open the <strong>Show<\/strong> dropdown list and choose <strong>Advanced Filters<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Press <strong>Add a filter<\/strong> option.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/07-add-advanced-filter.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1055\" height=\"417\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/07-add-advanced-filter.png\" alt=\"Add advanced filter\" class=\"wp-image-50667\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Add filter to report<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Choose <strong>Order Status<\/strong> from the list<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set the first field to <strong>Not in.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>And add <strong>Cancelled <\/strong>and <strong>Refunded <\/strong>to the next field.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Apply the filter by pressing the <strong>Filter <\/strong>button.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/08-choose-order-status-in-filter.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"722\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/08-choose-order-status-in-filter.png\" alt=\"Choose order status in filter\" class=\"wp-image-50668\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Set order staus filters<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Step 4: Review the Filtered Report<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once filtered, you can review your order totals and revenue by excluding refunded or cancelled orders. While this provides a clearer picture than unfiltered reports, the insights remain relatively basic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/09-review-generated-report.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"665\" height=\"495\" src=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/09-review-generated-report.png\" alt=\"Review generated report\" class=\"wp-image-50669\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Review filtered report<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Limitations of WooCommerce Analytics<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main drawback of WooCommerce Analytics are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Lack of advanced customization:<\/strong> You have no options for customizing the table report like adding or removing columns or sort the data.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Filters are limited<\/strong>: You are not able to filter data by deeper metrics such as attribution and segmentation&nbsp;<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For growing stores, these limitations often enforce store owners to use a more advanced reporting solution like REPORTiT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Key Differences Between Reporting Methods<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><thead><tr><th><strong>Feature<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>WooCommerce Analytics<\/strong><\/th><th><strong>Advanced Reporting (REPORTiT)<\/strong><\/th><\/tr><\/thead><tbody><tr><td><strong>Excluding refunded and cancelled orders<\/strong><\/td><td>Yes<\/td><td>Yes<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Custom filters<\/strong><\/td><td>Limited<\/td><td>Advanced<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Charts and visualizations<\/strong><\/td><td>Basic<\/td><td>Fully customizable<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Revenue accuracy<\/strong><\/td><td>Medium<\/td><td>High<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Best for<\/strong><\/td><td>Small stores<\/td><td>Growing and professional stores<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns alignwide are-vertically-aligned-center main-cta-cnt has-background is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8a83d729 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\" style=\"background-color:#3d67ff;padding-top:30px;padding-right:30px;padding-bottom:30px;padding-left:30px\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-vertically-aligned-center is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-5980c20d wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"padding-top:15px\">\n<p class=\"single-cta-heading has-white-color has-text-color has-link-color wp-elements-0991dc6851cfc99e0f24c91f59e458e6 wp-block-paragraph\" style=\"font-size:26px;font-style:normal;font-weight:800\">REPORTiT &#8211;

Store owners should decide what they want to improve, choose a manageable workflow, and review the result with the right metrics. This makes it easier to identify which changes create a real business benefit and which ones only add complexity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The next step is to start with one practical use case, apply the strategy carefully, and compare the outcome with a reliable baseline. As the store grows, the process can become more detailed through better segmentation, clearer reporting, and more consistent execution. This gradual approach helps teams measure actual sales performance without overstating revenue through refunded or cancelled orders.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For WooCommerce store owners who want to manage this process more efficiently, <a href=\"https:\/\/ithemelandco.com\/plugins\/woocommerce-report\/?utm_source=blog&amp;utm_content=custom-report-without-refund\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">REPORTiT &#8211; Advanced Reporting for WooCommerce<\/a> provides a focused way to apply the recommendations discussed in this article.

Which WooCommerce reports should store managers review regularly?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A useful reporting routine usually includes sales, product performance, customers, order statuses, refunds, campaigns, and trend comparisons. The right mix depends on the decisions the store needs to make.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Why should reports be filtered by date range and order status?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Date ranges create a fair comparison, while order-status filters prevent refunded, cancelled, or failed orders from distorting the results. This is important when reviewing net performance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. How often should WooCommerce reports be reviewed?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operational reports may be checked weekly, while broader trend, customer, and year-over-year comparisons can be reviewed monthly or around major campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. What is the difference between revenue and useful performance data?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Revenue shows the total value of sales, but it does not explain margin, refunds, repeat purchases, product mix, or campaign quality. Useful decisions require a wider set of metrics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Can WooCommerce reporting help with marketing decisions?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yes. Reports can show which campaigns, products, and customer segments create stronger results, making it easier to allocate budget and improve future promotions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. What does REPORTiT &#8211; Advanced Reporting for WooCommerce add?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">REPORTiT &#8211; Advanced Reporting for WooCommerce helps store owners analyze sales, customers, products, and orders with more flexible reporting views for practical business decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Woocommerce reports exclude refunds can directly influence how efficiently a WooCommerce store attracts customers, supports purchasing decisions, and turns everyday store activity into measurable growth.
