# Revenue Over Time, Depop

> Revenue Over Time for Depop stores. 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:** [Revenue & Sales](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type)

## 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.                              |
| **Currency**          | currency                                                                                                                                                                                                      |

## 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

| Card                                                                   | Why merchants reach for it                                        |
| ---------------------------------------------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------------- |
| [`dep_net_revenue`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/depop/total-revenue)       | Revenue sibling: the net-of-fees counterpart to this gross trend. |
| [`dep_aov`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/depop/average-order-value)         | Sales sibling: average order value behind the revenue line.       |
| [`dep_orders_per_day`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/depop/orders-day)       | Volume sibling: order pace that drives revenue.                   |
| [`dep_revenue_at_risk`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/depop/revenue-at-risk) | Risk sibling: revenue exposed to fulfilment or listing issues.    |
| [`dep_follower_count`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/depop/follower-count)   | Reach sibling: follower growth precedes revenue growth.           |

## Reconciling against Depop

**Where to look in Depop's own dashboard:**

Depop shows your sales totals in the Selling and balance views. Reconcile the Vortex IQ trend against those totals for matching periods, remembering this card is gross of fees.

**Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:**

| Reason                                                                        | Direction           | What to do                                     |
| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Gross vs net.** This card is gross; Depop's balance reflects fees deducted. | Higher in Vortex IQ | Compare to the net-of-fees card for take-home. |
| **Period boundary.** Vortex IQ uses a 90-day window for the trend.            | Variable            | Match the period range.                        |
| **Refunds and cancellations.** Timing of adjustments can shift a period.      | Variable            | Allow for refund timing.                       |

**Cross-connector reconciliation:** read the gross trend with the net-of-fees card and revenue at risk for the full revenue picture. For divergence investigations, use Vortex Mind.

## Known limitations / merchant FAQs

**Q: How often does Revenue Over Time update?**
The card refreshes on the standard data refresh (typically every 30-60 minutes for live integrations). The latest period fills in as orders complete.

**Q: Is this gross or net revenue?**
Gross. It is sales before Depop's selling fee and payment processing. For take-home after fees, read the net-of-fees card alongside it.

**Q: The trend dipped but I was busy. Why?**
Check whether the dip is listing cadence, seasonality or refund timing rather than lost demand. The orders-per-day line and follower trend usually explain a soft revenue period.

**Q: Can I customise this card?**
There is no alert threshold by default, but the reporting window is configurable per profile.
