Note
For now, dashboards (formerly the Business Cockpit) are only available to users with a Digistore24 Inc. reseller contract. We will update this article as soon as the feature is available for other resellers.  

Dashboards in Digistore24 give you an overview of your business development. They show you the most important turnover and sales figures in real-time, so you always stay up to date.

Benefits of Dashboards

Tip

If you want to analyze your data in more detail (e.g., to make business decisions, answer questions in a data-driven manner), use the Analytics.

Attention

For seamless tracking, you must use a promolink and/or a promocode. This is necessary for calculating certain KPIs and for tracking directly at the funnel entry. More information on setting up promolinks and promocodes can be found here.

Opportunities for Funnel Entries

A funnel entry is the beginning of the sales process. Usually, every sales process starts with a prospect opening your sales page via URL.

You can direct the visitor directly to the sales page.

However, if you want Digistore24 to count sales page visitors, you should either include a promocode on your sales page or use the promolink. Then Digistore24 will automatically count the sales page visitors.

Check here for more information.

Funnel entry options: Funnel entry can take place at the following points:

* Possible via GET parameters attached to the URL e.g.:

 www.my-business.com/?aff=MyAffiliate

More information can be found here.

** Insofar as the affiliate appears in the promolink, e.g.:

https://www.digistore24.com/redir/12345/AFFILIATE/CAMPAIGNKEY

Components of Dashboards

Dashboards are overviews. You can create different dashboards for various use cases.

By components here we mean tiles, metrics, and display types that you can freely assemble for a better overview.

Note

You can also find these components in the Digistore24 Analytics tool.

Tiles

Statistics and data (metrics) are displayed in tiles.

Metrics

Metrics are statistical values (numbers and data). Examples of metrics are: the number of your sales, your earnings, or the conversion rate. Here is a list of all metrics.

Display types

The display type determines how your metrics are shown. Possible display types are: tables, lists, line charts, etc. Here is a list of all display types.
