Analyze Shopify collections with a spreadsheet

Net sales, orders, quantity sold, discounts, refunds, and return rates for every collection, in a live spreadsheet fed by your Shopify store. See which collections carry the season and which ones just take up navigation space.

Everything you need to analyze Shopify collections

Mixtable's analytical worksheets load your collections as rows with sales metrics as columns. Start from the Collection Sales template and shape it from there.

One row per collection

Net sales, gross sales, order count, and quantity sold for every collection in your store, over any date range.

A ready-made template

The Collection Sales template loads order count, quantity sold, returns, discounts, and net sales per collection in one step.

Returns per collection

Refund amounts, refund counts, refunded quantity, and percent of orders refunded, so problem categories are visible too.

Discount exposure

Discount amounts per collection show which categories only sell when they are on sale.

Season over season

Fixed date ranges compare launches and seasons, rolling windows keep a living view of what is selling now.

Formulas on top

Rank collections, compute share of sales, or divide revenue by product count, like any spreadsheet.

See which collections earn their place

Collections are how customers shop and how you merchandise, but most reporting stops at products. The Collection Sales template ranks every collection by the same metrics, so navigation, homepage slots, and campaign features can follow the numbers.

  • Net sales, orders, and quantity sold per collection
  • Sort by any metric to rank collections
  • Spot collections with traffic-worthy names and no revenue
  • Share-of-sales is one formula away
Rank your collections

Returns and discounts, by category

Two numbers tell you when a category has a problem: how much of it comes back, and how much of it only sells at a discount. Both are collection-level metrics in Mixtable, sitting right next to the revenue they erode.

  • Refund amounts, refund counts, and refunded quantity per collection
  • Percent of orders refunded as a category quality signal
  • Discount amounts show which collections depend on promotions
  • Gross versus net sales makes the gap visible
Check category health

Compare seasons, launches, and campaigns

A collection's job changes through the year. Fixed date ranges let you compare this summer against last summer or measure a launch window precisely, while rolling windows keep a living view of what is selling right now.

  • Fixed ranges for launches, seasons, and campaign windows
  • Rolling windows like last 30 days for a current view
  • Put two periods side by side and diff them with a formula
  • Collection metrics respect the same date ranges as everything else
Compare your seasons

Analyze collections, then reorganize them, same spreadsheet

The point of collection analytics is changing your collections. In Mixtable, the same spreadsheet that ranks them also edits them: add products to collections, remove them, and rework titles and SEO in bulk, with every change previewed before it syncs.

  • Add or remove products from collections with action columns
  • Edit collection titles, descriptions, and SEO in bulk
  • Changes preview first and sync only when you say so
  • Metric columns stay read-only analysis views
Reorganize collections

The collection metrics you can put in a worksheet

Analytical worksheets cover supported metric and filter combinations. These are the core metrics for collection analysis.

Net sales Gross sales Order count Net quantity sold Gross quantity sold Refunded quantity Refund amounts Refund count Percent of orders refunded Discount amounts Tax amounts Any date range

Shopify collection analytics questions

How do I see sales for each Shopify collection?

Install the Mixtable Analytics Spreadsheet from the Shopify App Store and open the Collection Sales template. Every collection loads as a row with order count, quantity sold, returns, discounts, and net sales, live from your store.

Which metrics are available per collection?

Net and gross sales, order count, net and gross quantity sold, refunded quantity, refund amounts and counts, percent of orders refunded, discount amounts, and tax amounts.

Can I compare collections across seasons?

Yes. Fixed date ranges let you compare this season against last season for the same collection, and rolling windows keep a current view that updates itself.

Can I see which collections get returned the most?

Yes. Refunded quantity, refund amounts, and percent of orders refunded work at collection level, so category-wide quality problems show up next to category revenue.

How does a sale get attributed to a collection?

Through the products in it. Mixtable tracks which products belong to which collections and aggregates product-level sales up to each collection.

Can a product count toward more than one collection?

Yes. A product in three collections contributes its sales to all three, which matches how collections work in Shopify. Keep that in mind before summing collection rows into a store total.

Can I reorganize collections based on what I find?

Yes. The same spreadsheet edits collections: add or remove products with action columns and update titles or SEO in bulk, with every change previewed before it syncs to Shopify.

Can I export the collection report?

Yes. Any worksheet exports to Excel or CSV, so the ranking can go into a deck or to a teammate in one click.
