Hi
I've searched through the forum but didn't find anything on the topic.
I think it would be nice, as a seller, so have some sorts of statistics on visits
on our stores : when the visits occurred, how many recurring visitors, exporting
some data, graphics, etc.

Thanks.

Seems to me it’s mostly the old sellers who are always harping about seller tools….

But if you're an old seller you don't need any tool from the site.

Well you have had 38002 visitors when I just checked. You can log on every morning
and make a note of the store counter and produce a graph using a spreadsheet
or a pencil and graph paper. You can also highlight when you uploaded new stock
on the spreadsheet and see if that tallies with any increase in visitor numbers.

Just remove 1 for your own visit

Funny thing, with the current and the previous day you can get a "visits per
day" number.

You can Excel this, and even compare to other shops, not in value, but if they've
the same trend or not.

And then maybe deduct things (or not).


  You can also highlight when you uploaded new stock
on the spreadsheet and see if that tallies with any increase in visitor numbers.

It *will* of course - and especially if you uploaded new lots and sent Notifications.

And of course the other thing to track in parallel to visits is the number of
orders and the value of orders. An increase in visits without an increase in
orders implies what you just did was not so productive.

The idea is good, I just don't have that kind of time to do it manually.
My store is a "side job" and I have a 7am to 5pm job aside that. Having modern
analytics tools would be very nice. Knowing the basic locations (for instance
province / states / country), if there are any recurring visits from the same
customer, etc.

Frankly, I'm impressed you can do 20+ orders per week (plus buying, inventoring,
uploading...) and having a job.

Those data you're talking about won't be available (as the site is),
sorry.
Much more, privacy and such 'recent' laws may not authorize this.

Yeah business has been good lately. That's why I want to refine my accounting
and statistics for the coming year.

If you think visitor numbers are useful then surely making a note of the counter
each time you log on to pack orders is worth the 30 seconds it takes. I tried
it once, but there are so many variables it is hard to spot any real trends.

Sorry, what are you talking about?

BLS Manager is locally hosted on your computer and I have no access to this data.

It only collects the highest daily order number you have to make this chart,
and it is opt-in: https://stats.inspacesync.com/

It does use your credentials and API keys, just like BrickStore (creds) and any
other app that uses your keys to operate.

Unless you use the paid InSpaceSync service it doesn't collect anything,
I am fully transparent about what I collect, and it is the minimal amount of
data and personal info I need for invoices and taxes.

I don't like your insinuation here.

Ah sorry, then it's fine - if it's open source.

A site/database can be hacked and everything's gone in the wild.
Or Yahoo could acquire your company, with maybe another policy than yours?

In short - I don't put anything (important) in the cloud for this reason.

Well, that shows what you know because BLS Manager isn't in the cloud, but
do you know what is? BrickLink.

Well, that shows what you know because BLS Manager isn't in the cloud, but
do you know what is? BrickLink.

Depends on your definition of Cloud.  Mine is: Cloud = on someone else’s computer

Everything can be compromised, your or my computer, or those in a datacenter.

Which is why the only solution is to limit the number of places where the data
are.
And preferably at places you have control, because you're responsible.

Thanks for the interesting link, didn't know!

  Unless you use the paid InSpaceSync service it doesn't collect anything,
I am fully transparent about what I collect, and it is the minimal amount of
data and personal info I need for invoices and taxes.
I don't like your insinuation here.

A site/database can be hacked and everything's gone in the wild.
Or Yahoo could acquire your company, with maybe another policy than yours?

In short - I don't put anything (important) in the cloud for this reason.

I'vre read you about BLS Manager, and understood - see my remark.

But you talked about InSpaceSync service, no?
I guess it's online, on some website/server/database?

And yes, I know about BrickLink, doh!
But I could hardly hide them anything.
Same if I'd sell on Amazon or eBay...

But no problem with what you do.
It's just a bit more complex, especially for companies.
You're welcome to PM me if you wish.

No, InSpaceSync is just like BrickSync, you can run it on your local computer
or host it (yourself) in the cloud. It does collect some data for invoicing but
that is it, your orders/customer info/ed. is private.

BLS Manager is free, but not open source, if that is a deal breaker then so be
it.

In the Cloud? As Sylvain said, it's then on someone else computer.
And as I said, I won't put anything on the Cloud.

Yes, I'm sure - but I've to trust you.

I'm sorry

  Hi
I've searched through the forum but didn't find anything on the topic.
I think it would be nice, as a seller, so have some sorts of statistics on visits
on our stores : when the visits occurred, how many recurring visitors, exporting
some data, graphics, etc.

Thanks.

BrickLink doesn't support this natively, but you might be able to do something
similar using Google Analytics.

Yes/no - because because wanted-list, search, auto buy and such, very few buyers
arrive in the shop Splash page - which is, AFAIK, the only place you could put
a tracker.
