At a glance
Orders / Day is your daily Depop order count plotted over time. It is the pulse of the shop: the line shows the rhythm of sales, the spikes from a viral listing or a relist push, and the dips from a quiet stretch. For a solo seller, it is also the workload forecast, because every order on the line becomes a parcel to pack and a dispatch deadline to hit.
Calculation
The card counts orders per calendar day across the window and plots them as a time series. Vortex IQ reads order timestamps from the Depop integration and aggregates them by day in the merchant reporting time zone.Worked example
A representative reading of Orders / Day for a typical reseller on Depop. The line normally hovered around 6 to 9 orders a day with a weekend lift. On 17 Jun 26 it spiked to 23 after one listing was shared widely. Vortex Mind tied the spike to that single item and forecast a packing backlog, which the pending-shipment card confirmed. The seller blocked out extra packing time and kept on-time shipping intact. A week later a three-day dip lined up with a pause in relisting, a reminder that cadence drives the floor. To examine the pattern, ask Ask Viq for orders per day this month with weekday averages.Sibling cards merchants should reference together
