To truly optimize your product performance, you need to dig deeper to analyze its specific variations (like size, color, or model). Understanding which variations are your top sellers and which are underperforming allows you to manage inventory more effectively and tailor your marketing strategies for maximum profit. The REPORTiT – Advanced Reporting for WooCommerce plugin allows you to effectively generate the Variation Report in 3 Simple Steps.
