At a glance
Revenue Over Time plots your gross Depop sales across the window as an area chart. It is the headline trend line for the shop: where Orders / Day shows volume, this shows value, smoothing daily noise into the trajectory that matters for planning. The shape tells you whether listing effort, follower growth and seasonality are compounding into a rising revenue base or quietly flattening.
| What it counts | Gross sales revenue over time across the selected window, shown as an area chart. |
| Sample type | Backend API data from Depop, refreshed on the standard data refresh. |
| Why it matters | The revenue trajectory is the truest single read on shop momentum. It absorbs the lag between activity and outcome, so a sustained turn here confirms whether your listing and engagement work is paying off. |
| Reading the value | Read direction and slope over weeks, not days. A steady climb is healthy momentum; a plateau or decline against rising effort points to a discovery or pricing problem upstream. |

Calculation
The card aggregates order revenue by period across the window and plots the running series. Vortex IQ reads order values from the Depop integration; this card shows gross revenue, so compare it with the net-of-fees card to see the take-home line.Worked example
A representative reading of Revenue Over Time for a typical growing resale shop on Depop. Across 90 days the area rose steadily from roughly 2,000 to 3,400 pounds a month as the seller built a daily relisting habit and follower count climbed. A short plateau in the middle lined up with a holiday pause in listing. Vortex Mind confirmed the dip was cadence, not demand, and the trend resumed once relisting restarted. Reading the gross trend next to net-after-fees kept the seller honest about take-home. To examine the slope, ask Ask Viq for monthly revenue trend over the last quarter.Sibling cards merchants should reference together
