Today we are happy to announce that the number of Advanced Reports Units attachments has been increased with the Sales by Payment Type unit.

The main function of this report type can be easily guessed on the assumption of its name – Sales by Payment Type displays sales data grouped by payment methods. Thus it allows you to analyze how customers prefer to pay for their purchases in your store.

Interested? Visit the Advanced Reports page and find more information about Sales by Payment Type and other units attachments.

To make the Advanced Reports extension compatible with recently released Magento v.1.4, we refused the idea of making any modifications in native Magento reports and have left them unaffected in the new version of Advanced Reports – reporting period range is not accessible in native reports anymore.

At the same time, one more advanced report has been implemented during the extension upgrading – the Sales report. This report type is the enhanced version of Magento Sales Report which allows you to display sales data on the chart and set up the pre-defined reporting period range.

Besides the New vs. Returning Customers unit for the Advanced Reports extension has undergone several changes. The unit has become not only absolutely compatible with Magento v.1.4, but it has become more informative – the percentage of new and returning customers is now automatically calculated and displayed as well.

The first units had been barely released when the list of Advanced Reports attachments was enlarged! Four new units are waiting for your approval:

The Sales by ZIP Code report displays sales data grouped by ZIP code. This is a kind of geographical report which allows you to analyze the sales in different parts of your city, state or the whole country.

With the Sales by Coupon Code report type you can get the complete information about orders made with coupons usage. This is a perfect way to analyze promotions results.

The Users Wishlists report allows you to observe which products have been added to customers’ wishlists. Moreover, you can find out when the product has been added and how many days this item is in the wishlist.

The New vs. Returning Customers report allows you to make a comparative analysis of new customers who made the 1st order during the selected period with returning customers who made the 2nd and more orders within the same time.

The Advanced Reports extension by aheadWorks is more stable now as the following minor bugs have been fixed:

• Filtering doesn’t work in Opera
• Filtering doesn’t work for “store”, “datetime” and “select” column types
• Sorting for report without data error
• Standard “strptime” function is not used anymore
• Varien_Object() error for Magento v.1.2.0.2

Please find more information about units and the Advanced Reports module on the extension page.

Since version 2.0 the Advanced Reports extension supports the units attachment what means that you can set up Advanced Reports 2.* for your store and add the reports YOU need:

The Customers by country report displays sales data grouped by country. This report type allows you to compare the total number of accounts created in your store for a certain period of time with the quantity of accounts from which orders have been made.

With the Sales by Manufacturer report you can learn how many products of a certain manufacturer have been bought for a defined period of time.

The Sales Statistics features average order amount and average item cost data. This information is displayed on the chart. The other sales data (the number of orders, items, subtotal, tax, discounts, etc.) is reflected in this report type as well.

These three units just top the list and their number will be enlarged in the nearest future. Remember that you can always ask for report you require!

Unit’s engine is not the only new feature we would like to inform you about. One more piece of good news is that with the new version of Advanced Reports you get an opportunity to filter data in Sales Report – now all the values (SKU, product name, manufacturer, cost, etc.) are available for filtering.

Besides, the Advanced Reports extension allows you to get more precise and complete information – a new Total field has been added to all reports types.

Moreover the extension works more stable than before as the following bugs have been fixed:

• Small resolution formatting
• Advanced Reports sorting

Please find more information about Advanced Reports units on the extension page.

Note that units don’t work separately – only as an attachment for the Advanced Reports extension 2.*
