Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre. How to read it, why it matters, and how to act on it. **Card class:** [Non-Hero](/nerve-centre/overview#card-classes-explained) • **Category:** [Fulfilment](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type) ## At a glance > **Orders / Day** is your daily Depop order count plotted over time. It is the pulse of the shop: the line shows the rhythm of sales, the spikes from a viral listing or a relist push, and the dips from a quiet stretch. For a solo seller, it is also the workload forecast, because every order on the line becomes a parcel to pack and a dispatch deadline to hit. | | | | --------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **What it counts** | The number of orders placed each day across the selected window, shown as a line. | | **Sample type** | Backend API data from Depop, refreshed on the standard data refresh. | | **Why it matters** | Daily order pace drives fulfilment capacity planning and reveals what your activity actually moves. Spikes warn of an incoming packing load; sustained dips are an early demand signal worth investigating before revenue reacts. | | **Reading the value** | Read the shape, not a single day. Look for trend, weekly seasonality and outliers. Tie spikes back to listing activity and dips to stalled cadence. | | **Currency** | count | | **Time window** | `30D` | | **Alert trigger** | `-` | | **Sentiment key** | `dep_orders_per_day` | | **Roles** | owner, operations | ## Calculation The card counts orders per calendar day across the window and plots them as a time series. Vortex IQ reads order timestamps from the Depop integration and aggregates them by day in the merchant reporting time zone. ## Worked example *A representative reading of **Orders / Day** for a typical reseller on Depop.* The line normally hovered around 6 to 9 orders a day with a weekend lift. On 17 Jun 26 it spiked to 23 after one listing was shared widely. Vortex Mind tied the spike to that single item and forecast a packing backlog, which the pending-shipment card confirmed. The seller blocked out extra packing time and kept on-time shipping intact. A week later a three-day dip lined up with a pause in relisting, a reminder that cadence drives the floor. To examine the pattern, ask Ask Viq for orders per day this month with weekday averages. ## Sibling cards merchants should reference together | Card | Why merchants reach for it | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------- | | [`dep_order_count`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/depop/total-transactions) | Volume sibling: the period total behind the daily line. | | [`dep_pending_ship`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/depop/pending-shipment) | Fulfilment sibling: order spikes become packing backlogs. | | [`dep_on_time_ship_rate`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/depop/on-time-shipping-rate) | Fulfilment sibling: capacity vs demand on the line. | | [`dep_revenue_trend`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/depop/revenue-over-time) | Trend sibling: orders and revenue read together. | | [`dep_orders_by_country`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/depop/orders-by-country) | Geography sibling: where the daily orders come from. | ## Reconciling against Depop **Where to look in Depop's own dashboard:** Your order history in the Depop app lists every order with its date. Reconcile by counting orders for a sample day and comparing to the point on the Vortex IQ line. **Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:** | Reason | Direction | What to do | | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------ | ---------------------------------------- | | **Time zone.** Day boundaries depend on the reporting time zone. | Marginal | Confirm time zone alignment. | | **Cancelled orders.** These may be excluded from the daily count. | Lower in Vortex IQ | Confirm order scope. | | **Refresh timing.** Today's count fills in across refreshes. | Marginal | Read completed days for a stable figure. | **Cross-connector reconciliation:** read the daily line with pending shipment and the revenue trend to plan capacity and spot demand shifts. For divergence investigations, use Vortex Mind. ## Known limitations / merchant FAQs **Q: How often does Orders / Day update?** The card refreshes on the standard data refresh (typically every 30-60 minutes for live integrations). Today's bar continues to fill through the day. **Q: Today looks low. Is something wrong?** The current day is incomplete until it closes. Compare completed days for a fair read, and check the revenue trend before reading a single low day as a problem. **Q: How do I tell a real dip from noise?** Look for several days below your weekday baseline, not one. Tie sustained dips to listing cadence and seasonality before assuming demand has changed. **Q: Can I customise this card?** There is no alert threshold by default, but the reporting period and time zone are configurable per profile. *** ### Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre *Orders / Day* is one of hundreds of KPI pulses Vortex IQ tracks across Depop and 70+ other ecommerce connectors.
