How does editing post-order date affect reporting?
- Source Medium Executive Summary reports on the discrete order-date, with any subsequent modifications to the order reflecting back on the original order-date.
- Shopify reports on the event-date, with any subsequent modifications to the order reflecting on the date of the event/modification-date.
Due to the difference in reporting, gross revenue in the Source Medium Executive Summary may not align perfectly with the respective Shopify sales report.
As an example of a order-journey:
A customer places an order of $100 on November 10th from Store XYZ. The same customer adds $50 worth to the original order on November 11th. The following tables will summarize how the data will be presented to the store.
