Yesterday's Sales Snapshot

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.
The skill
Suggested shortcut:/yesterday-sales Give me yesterday's sales snapshot, in the shop's timezone. ## Steps 1. Pull yesterday's total sales, order count, average order value and sessions. 2. Pull the same four numbers for the same weekday one week earlier, so Monday compares with Monday. 3. List the top 3 products by revenue yesterday with units sold. 4. Note anything unusual: a refund larger than the average order, a product that sold out, or a traffic spike from one source. ## Output Five lines maximum: one line per metric with the week-ago comparison in brackets, then one line for the top 3 products, then one line for anything unusual or "Nothing unusual." No headings, no chart. If yesterday had zero orders, say so and stop. Do not make recommendations in this skill.

What you get
A five-line text message you can read in ten seconds, for example: “Sales 612 (vs 540 last Tuesday, +13%) · Orders 14 (vs 13) · AOV 43.70 (vs 41.50) · Sessions 388 (vs 402) · Top 3: Classic Tee ×6, Tote ×4, Mug ×3 · Unusual: one refund of 96.”
When to use it
Every morning with coffee. It is deliberately short so you will actually run it.
Variations
- “Also show new versus returning customers” adds one line.
- Ask for “the last 3 days as three rows” after a weekend.
Limits
Sessions and conversion depend on Shopify’s analytics tracking. Stores with heavy bot traffic will see inflated session counts; the order numbers are the reliable part.
