One of the most common problems of store managers who are managing an online store that provides products for customers all over the country is generating sales by state report in WooCommerce. In this tutorial, you learn how the WooCommerce report plugin can help you to solve this problem.
What is sales by state report?
A sales by state report is a useful report that lists all states that receive one or more orders in a date range. Store managers can usually find the most important information related to the placed orders in different states in this report, such as number of orders, total amount of orders, order status, payment method, etc.
Why do store managers need sales by state reports?
There are many reasons why store managers need to analyze sales by state report. For example, they may need to know which state receives more orders to provide more products for customers living in that state, or they may plan some marketing strategies for the states with fewer sales to increase their income.
