At a glance
Orders / Day is the daily volume trend tracked from Newegg Marketplace data. It plots how many orders land each day across the window, so operations can staff fulfilment to the curve and owners can spot demand spikes or dips early. On a tech-focused marketplace where launches and promotions drive sharp peaks, the daily line is the signal you watch to keep dispatch ahead of demand. It sits in the fulfilment cluster for owners and operations.
| What it counts | The number of orders placed per day over the period, plotted as a daily line, as surfaced by the Newegg Marketplace integration. |
| Sample type | Backend API data from Newegg Marketplace, refreshed on the standard data refresh. |
| Why it matters | Daily order volume drives fulfilment staffing and inventory planning. A spike that outruns dispatch capacity threatens On-Time Shipping Rate; a sustained dip can signal softening demand or a listing problem. |
| Reading the value | Read the line for shape, not just level: a rising trend means growing dispatch load, a sudden spike means a backlog risk, a flat dip warrants a look at listing health. |

Calculation
Calculated automatically from your Newegg Marketplace data. The card counts orders placed on each day across the 30-day window and plots them as a daily line, so the trend and any spikes or dips are visible at a glance. See the At a glance summary above for what the metric tracks and the worked example below for a typical reading.Worked example
A representative reading of Orders / Day for a typical merchant on Newegg Marketplace. Suppose the line holds around 40 orders a day, then jumps to over 110 for two days mid-window during a GPU promotion before settling back. Operations reads the spike early and pulls an extra packing shift across those two days, so dispatch keeps pace and On-Time Shipping Rate holds. Without the daily view, the same spike would have surfaced only later as a Pending Shipment backlog and late orders. The merchant notes the promotion lift to plan staffing for the next launch. For deeper investigation, use Vortex Mind to trace which SKUs drove the spike; for natural-language exploration, ask Ask Viq.Sibling cards merchants should reference together

neg_orders_by_state | Geography sibling: where the daily orders ship to. |
Reconciling against Newegg Seller Portal
Where to look in the Newegg Seller Portal: Daily order counts can be reconstructed from the Seller Portal order management view or order reports by grouping orders on their placed date. Confirm the report period, the time zone, and whether cancelled orders are included before reconciling against the Vortex IQ daily line. Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:| Reason | Direction | What to do |
|---|---|---|
| Time zone. Vortex IQ buckets days in the merchant reporting time zone; Seller Portal uses the account time zone, which can shift orders near midnight. | Marginal | Confirm time zone match. |
| Period boundary. Vortex IQ uses a 30-day rolling window; Seller Portal reports may use calendar periods. | Variable | Match the period range. |
| Order status scope. Cancelled or test orders may be counted differently across views. | Variable | Match the order-status filter. |
