At a glance

Orders is your Newegg Marketplace order count for the period, shown with a comparison against the prior period so you can read direction at a glance. It is the volume half of the revenue story: paired with Average Order Value it tells you whether revenue moves come from more buyers or bigger baskets. It sits in the Revenue & Sales category and reads best alongside the AOV, revenue, and daily-order cards listed below.

Calculation

Calculated automatically from your Newegg Marketplace data. The card counts orders placed in the selected period (today, 7-day, or 30-day) and shows the equivalent prior-period count for comparison. This dedicated Orders page covers the same underlying order count as the reconciled Total Transactions page, framed for the sales view. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.

Worked example

A representative reading of Orders for a typical merchant on Newegg Marketplace. Suppose the 30-day view reads 1,260 orders against 1,090 in the prior 30 days, up about 16 percent. On its own that looks like clean growth. Reading it with Average Order Value, which slipped slightly over the same window, shows the gain came from more buyers rather than bigger baskets, likely the tail of a sales event. Revenue Over Time confirms the matching step-up in the curve. If orders had risen while revenue stayed flat, the merchant would dig into discounting or basket mix instead. For deeper investigation, use Vortex Mind to trace which categories or listings drove the order lift; for natural-language exploration, ask Ask Viq.

Sibling cards merchants should reference together

Reconciling against Newegg Seller Portal

Where to look in the Newegg Seller Portal: The Seller Portal shows order counts under its order management and sales reporting sections. Set the portal date range to match the Vortex IQ period (today, 7-day, or 30-day) and confirm the order-status filter (placed vs settled, including or excluding cancellations) matches the Vortex IQ profile to reconcile the count cleanly. Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ: Cross-connector reconciliation: complement with sibling cards in the same category for the full diagnostic picture. For divergence investigations, use Vortex Mind.

Known limitations / merchant FAQs

Q: How often does Orders update? The card refreshes on the standard data refresh (typically every 30-60 minutes for live integrations). For real-time signals, force a manual refresh from the dashboard. The today figure fills in as the day progresses. Q: Why does my Newegg Seller Portal show a different number? The most common reasons are period-boundary differences (Vortex IQ rolling periods vs Seller Portal calendar ranges), order-status scope (whether cancelled or pending orders are counted), and time-zone alignment. Match these settings before assuming a real divergence. Q: How does Orders relate to other sales metrics? It is the volume input to revenue. Read it with Average Order Value to decompose revenue moves, with Revenue Over Time to see the trend, and with Orders / Day for the daily cadence. The Total Transactions page covers the same count from the reconciliation angle. Q: Can I customise the alert threshold? Yes, alert thresholds are configurable per profile in the Alert Rules tab. Adjust to match your business baseline rather than relying on the generic default.
