Reports & Analytics in Bold Subscriptions V1

This article outlines how to use Bold Subscriptions V1's reports and analytics features to your advantage. 

All of your customer's information is available within our reports and can be exported or reviewed as general reports directly within the app.

The analytics within Bold Subscriptions V1 are based on the average length of time that someone stays a subscriber. Though this information can vary, it is based on your subscription orders.

This article is relevant to Subscriptions V1. If you have Subscriptions for Shopify Checkout on your store, please visit Dashboard Analytics, Reports & Activity Logs in Subscriptions for Shopify Checkout. If you are unsure of which version of Bold Subscriptions you have, please visit Identify Your Version of Bold Subscriptions.

 


 

You can access the reports section from the Bold Subscriptions V1 app admin under Reports > Reporting & Analytics. Here, you can see key metrics that detail your store's analytics.

These statistics are updated in real-time, so be sure to check this page often to see how your store is improving! This area allows you to track revenue, total subscribers, month over month income, and so much more.

This area calculates your estimated subscription revenue for the next 7, 30, and 365 days. Orders that are set to recur in this time frame will be taken into consideration and frame your expected Subscription growth over that time period.

You can otherwise review your stats as you begin using Bold Subscriptions V1.

 


 

Failed Transaction Log

Your customer's failed transactions can all be found in the Failed Transaction Log. You can access this from the Bold Subscriptions V1 app admin under Failed Transactions.

The Failed Transaction Log allows you to review your customer's failed transactions, as well as the reason why they failed. You can also manage customer's credit card details from the Failed Transaction Log, so if a customer's order fails due to an expired credit card, you can update their card info right on the same page.

Occasionally, you may see an error message within the Failed Transaction Log. We highly encourage you to find more information by searching for the error message on Google, or contacting your payment gateway's support team directly for more information.

 Pro-Tip

Subscription batches run every day from 4:00 AM until 9:00 AM CST. Failed orders will attempt to process the next day, unless you have specific dunning management settings.

Insufficient Products

Bold Subscriptions V1 syncs with your Shopify inventory levels to make tracking your subscription inventory even easier. If you haven't enabled inventory tracking, your orders will continue to generate even when you're out of stock.

If you are tracking inventory and run out of product, the following will occur:

  1. Bold Subscriptions V1 will attempt to process the order every day until there's enough stock to fulfill it.
  2. Emails will be sent to the store owner.
  3. The order will be delayed until inventory is replenished.

    Note: If a customer has multiple items in their subscription order and only one item is out of stock, the entire order will be delayed.

Orders that fail from insufficient inventory will be processed the day after stock has been added to the product's inventory.

You can be proactive and determine upcoming insufficiencies before they happen by selecting Reports > Insufficient Products from the Bold Subscriptions V1 app admin.

The Manage Pricing tool can be found in the Bold Subscriptions V1 app admin under Tools > Manage Pricing. This tool helps you globally change the pricing of a product and all existing subscriptions.

When a product's price is being adjusted using this tool, it can be changed to a completely new price or be modified in $0.25 increments. Product prices changed in Shopify will not be reflected on any subscriber's order. Instead, it will offer them the product's original price at a grandfathered rate.

Bold Subscription's Manage Pricing tool can also help with price overrides, which updates your product pricing in both Bold Subscriptions V1 and Shopify. Using a price override ensures that your price changes are reflected on current and future orders.

Depending on your Bold Subscriptions V1 email settings, any adjustments made with the Manage Pricing tool may trigger an email notification to your customers.

 


 

Deleting a Shopify product that's currently being used in a subscription will require you to either replace the item, or remove it altogether.

Depending on your Bold Subscriptions V1 email settings, any adjustments made with the Manage Deleted Products tool may trigger an email notification to your customers.

 


 

The Inventory Forecasting tool helps you be aware of exactly what's required to stock your store and fulfill future subscription orders. This area of the Subscriptions app admin also predicts what you will need on top of scheduled subscriptions based off of your sales averages.

Inventory levels update once per day.

Example

If you have 10 items scheduled to process within the next 30 days and you sell 3 subscriptions per month, the app will predict that you'll need 13 items. If these products do not have enough Shopify inventory, they will be highlighted in red.
