Weekly Sales Review

/weekly-review  One-screen weekly review: revenue, orders, AOV, top and declining products, and three actions for the week.

Add to Sidekick

Add opens your Shopify admin with the skill prefilled; review it there and click Add. If nothing appears, use Copy and follow the steps below.

Personalize before you add

Values come from your store profile when set. Leave a field blank to keep the placeholder and fill it in Sidekick.

The skill

Suggested shortcut: /weekly-review
Act as my store's operations analyst. Review [TIMEFRAME] against the period immediately before it, in the shop's timezone, using the store's own analytics only.

## Steps
1. Pull total sales, orders, average order value, conversion rate, sessions and returning-customer rate for both periods in one request so the comparison is consistent.
2. Pull sales by product for both periods. Identify the top 5 products by revenue and the 5 products whose revenue fell most.
3. Pull sales by channel and by traffic source if available, and note any channel that moved more than 20% either way.
4. From the numbers only, write three specific actions for this week. Each action names a product, channel or segment, the number behind it, and what to do (restock, feature, discount, email a segment, fix a page).

## Output
Start with a five-row table: metric, this period, previous period, % change. Then two short lists: top 5 and declining 5, each with revenue and % change. Then the three actions as one sentence each. Keep everything on one screen.

Say plainly when a period has too little data to compare, and never compute a percentage change from a zero baseline. Do not create discounts, edit products or send emails as part of this skill; recommend and wait.
How to add it to Sidekick
  1. Click Add to Sidekick above. Your Shopify admin opens with the skill ready to review. Click Add. Done.
  2. If the button does nothing in your store: click Copy skill, open Sidekick in your admin, type /, choose Create new skill, name the shortcut weekly-review, paste the text as the instructions, and save.
  3. To run it, type /weekly-review in Sidekick. Sidekick keeps up to 25 skills; manage yours from the skills menu.

What you get

A compact report you can read on your phone: a comparison table, two product lists, and three actions tied to numbers. Example shape (illustrative, not a real store):

MetricThis periodPreviousChange
Sales4,1203,640+13%
Orders9691+5%
AOV42.9040.00+7%

Then: “Top 5: Classic Tee 1,210 (+22%) …”, “Declining: Enamel Mug 180 (−41%) …”, and three actions such as “Restock Classic Tee in M and L before Thursday; 18 units left against 31 sold last week.”

When to use it

Monday morning, or the first working day after any sale or launch. Run it once a week and paste the actions into your task list.

Variations

  • Change the placeholder to last 30 days for a monthly version, or last 90 days for a quarter.
  • Add “Compare against the same period last year” for seasonal stores.
  • Add “Include refunds and discount amounts” if margins matter more than top-line sales.

Limits

Sidekick reads Shopify analytics only. Ad spend from Meta or Google and email revenue attribution from Klaviyo are not visible, so return on ad spend is out of scope for this skill.

Status: Written for Sidekick but not yet run on a live store. Results may need a second prompt. Time saved: about 15 min / week.
