== How to Access Ecommerce Reporting ==

== Configuration Options and Settings ==
For successful ecommerce reporting, ensure the following configurations are made:

* Set up the appropriate '''Deep Data integration''' with one of the supported platforms (BigCommerce, Shopify, WooCommerce, or Square).
* Ensure your contacts are engaged (opened or clicked) with the campaigns sent to them, as revenue is tracked only under specific conditions.

== Best Practices and Tips ==
* Regularly review your ecommerce reports to monitor which campaigns yield the highest revenue.
* Experiment with different types of content in your emails and utilize the performance data to refine your messaging.
* Pay attention to the '''conversion period''' (seven days after the campaign's end date) to understand the impact of your marketing efforts.
* Utilize A/B testing on different campaigns to identify the most effective subject lines, content, and calls to action.

== Common Use Cases with Examples ==
1. **Campaign Performance Review**: If an email campaign featuring a seasonal sale generates $1,000 in revenue, analyze the report to see how engagement correlates with sales figures.
  
2. **Automation Analysis**: After sending an automated welcome series, check the automation overview report to determine which welcome email resulted in the most conversions.

3. **Currency Tracking**: For businesses operating in multiple currencies, monitor sales across different currencies by using the currency drop-down available in the reports to gain insights into localized performance.

== Troubleshooting ==
If you do not see any ecommerce revenue data in your reports:
* Ensure that you have correctly set up a '''Deep Data integration'''.
* Confirm that the contacts you are analyzing are recipients of the campaigns and have engaged with the emails.
* Check the configuration settings to ensure that campaigns are being recorded per the established revenue attribution rules.
* Make sure that you are looking at campaigns within the correct conversion period.
