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 Target Plus revenue across the trailing 90 days as an area chart. It is the card you reach for to read trend, seasonality, and the impact of a promotion or an assortment change on the curated storefront. Where a single revenue total answers "how much", this chart answers "which direction and why", letting an owner or finance lead spot inflection points before they show up in a monthly close. | | | | --------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **What it counts** | Gross Target Plus revenue over the trailing 90 days, rendered as a time-series area chart. | | **Sample type** | Backend API data from Target Plus, refreshed on the standard data refresh. | | **Why it matters** | Trend and seasonality reveal whether promotions and assortment changes are working, well before a period-end total can. | | **Reading the value** | Read the shape, not a single point: a rising slope is growth, a flattening curve is a plateau, and sudden steps usually trace to a campaign or listing change. | | **Currency** | `currency` | | **Time window** | `90D` | | **Alert trigger** | `-` | | **Sentiment key** | `tgt_revenue_trend` | | **Roles** | owner, finance | ## Calculation Vortex IQ sums gross Target Plus revenue per day across the trailing 90 days and renders the daily series as an area chart. Each point is gross order revenue before Target fees and refunds, so the curve reflects top-line marketplace demand rather than net payout. This card is a trend visual with no single threshold attached, which is why it carries no alert trigger. See the worked example for how this reads on a typical partner. ## Worked example *A representative reading of **Revenue Over Time** for a typical Target Plus partner.* On 22 Jun 26 a seasonal-goods partner reviews the 90-day curve and sees a flat baseline through April lifting into a clear step up from mid-May. Hovering the inflection point, the lift lines up with a new outdoor range going live on the curated storefront and a Target promotional placement. The chart also shows a brief dip in early June that maps to a short spell of rejected listings before the feed was corrected. Reading the shape tells the owner the assortment change is paying off and the dip was operational rather than demand-driven. Vortex Mind traces the early-June dip back to the feed-rejection window, and Ask Viq answers "what caused the revenue step in May" in plain English without the team rebuilding the chart by hand. ## Sibling cards merchants should reference together | Card | Why merchants reach for it | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | [`total-revenue`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/target-plus/total-revenue) | The single headline figure this chart breaks into a daily trend. | | [`net-revenue-after-target-fees-refunds`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/target-plus/net-revenue-after-target-fees-refunds) | Shows what the gross curve becomes once Target fees and refunds are removed. | | [`orders`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/target-plus/orders) | Separates a revenue move into a volume change versus a price change. | | [`average-order-value`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/target-plus/average-order-value) | Explains revenue shifts driven by basket size rather than order count. | | [`top-listings-by-revenue`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/target-plus/top-listings-by-revenue) | Identifies which SKUs drove a visible step in the curve. | ## Reconciling against Target Plus Partners **Where to look in the Target Plus Partners portal:** Use the sales or revenue reporting views and the payout statements, then compare the portal's daily or weekly revenue series against the shape of this chart over the same dates. **Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:** | Reason | Direction | What to do | | --------------- | --------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | Period boundary | Either | The chart covers a rolling 90-day window; a portal report run for fixed calendar months will not line up at the edges. | | Time zone | Either | Daily buckets follow Target's reference time zone, so an order near midnight can land on a different day than your local report. | | Filter scope | Either | This card is gross revenue; a portal view may net out refunds or exclude cancelled orders, shifting the curve. | **Cross-connector reconciliation:** Lay this curve alongside your BigCommerce, Walmart, and Amazon revenue trends to see whether a move is Target-specific or a broader demand shift across every channel. ## Known limitations / merchant FAQs **Q: How often does this number update?** The series refreshes on the standard data refresh, so the most recent day fills in progressively through the day and settles once the day closes. **Q: Why does the Partners portal show a different revenue trend?** The portal may net out refunds or use fixed calendar periods, while this card plots gross revenue over a rolling 90-day window in Target's time zone. **Q: How does this relate to its sibling cards?** It is the trend view behind the single total-revenue figure; pair it with orders and average order value to tell volume-driven moves apart from price-driven ones. **Q: Can I change the alert threshold?** This card has no default alert because it is a trend visual, but you can add trend-based sensitivity rules per store on the Sensitivity tab if you want to be notified of a sustained decline. *** ### Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre *Revenue Over Time* is one of hundreds of KPI pulses Vortex IQ tracks across Target Plus and 70+ other ecommerce connectors.
