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:** [Marketplace](/nerve-centre/connectors#connectors-by-type) ## At a glance > **Orders by Country (EU)** is a geography metric tracked from Vinted data. It maps order volume across the EU country marketplaces you sell into, showing where buyer demand is concentrated. Vinted's per-country marketplaces each have their own buyer base, so the order map tells you which markets carry your volume and where cross-border shipping load is building. It pairs naturally with the value-based geography cards. | | | | --------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | **What it counts** | The number of orders by EU buyer country over the selected period, shown as a country map. | | **Sample type** | Backend API data from Vinted, refreshed on the standard data refresh. | | **Why it matters** | Order volume per country drives your shipping workload, carrier mix, and where dispatch SLAs are most at risk. It also flags which markets are worth deeper assortment or promotion. | | **Reading the value** | Read it as a distribution. Concentration in one or two countries means dispatch and shipping depend heavily on those lanes; a broadening map means more cross-border handling. | | **Currency** | count | | **Time window** | `30D` | | **Alert trigger** | `-` | | **Sentiment key** | `vin_orders_by_country` | | **Roles** | owner, marketing | ## Calculation Calculated automatically from your Vinted data. Vortex IQ groups completed orders by EU buyer country over the selected period and plots the counts on a country map. 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 by Country (EU)** for a typical Pro seller on Vinted.* Over a 30-day window the map shows 180 orders from France, 120 from Germany, 70 from Italy, and a long tail across smaller markets. Compared with a quarter ago, Germany has grown notably. The implication for operations is more cross-border German labels and slightly longer transit times to factor into dispatch planning, and for marketing a signal that German buyers are responding well and may merit a deeper assortment. The action is to confirm shipping settings cover the growing German lane and to test featuring more relevant stock there. For deeper investigation, use Vortex Mind to track how the order map has shifted; for natural-language exploration, ask Ask Viq. ## Sibling cards merchants should reference together | Card | Why merchants reach for it | | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | [`vin_aov_by_country`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/vinted/aov-by-country-eu) | Geography sibling: average value per country alongside volume. | | [`vin_country_revenue_mix`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/vinted/revenue-mix-by-eu-country) | Executive sibling: revenue share per country. | | [`vin_order_count`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/vinted/total-transactions) | Sales sibling: the total order count this map breaks down. | | [`vin_orders_per_day`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/vinted/orders-day) | Fulfilment sibling: order pace over time. | | [`vin_pending_ship`](/nerve-centre/kpi-cards/vinted/pending-shipment) | Fulfilment sibling: dispatch queue that scales with cross-border orders. | ## Reconciling against Vinted **Where to look in Vinted's own dashboard:** Vinted does not publish a per-country order map for sellers. The nearest reference is your sold-items history, where each order shows the buyer's country. Reconcile by tallying recent orders per country and comparing the distribution against this card. **Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:** | Reason | Direction | What to do | | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ---------------------------------------- | | **Period boundary.** Vortex IQ uses 30-day rolling by default; a manual export may use calendar months. | Variable | Match the period range. | | **Order definition.** Vortex IQ counts completed orders; pending or cancelled orders may be handled differently. | Variable | Confirm which order states are included. | | **Country attribution.** Attribution is by buyer country; ambiguous destinations can shift edge cases. | Marginal | Confirm the attribution basis. | **Cross-connector reconciliation:** complement with AOV by country and revenue mix for the full geography picture. For divergence investigations, use Vortex Mind. ## Known limitations / merchant FAQs **Q: How often does Orders by Country (EU) update?** It refreshes on the standard data refresh (typically every 30-60 minutes for live integrations). For an immediate read, force a manual refresh from the dashboard. **Q: Why does my Vinted dashboard show a different number?** Vinted has no native per-country order map, so differences come from period boundaries, which order states are counted, and country attribution. Align these before assuming a real divergence. **Q: How does Orders by Country (EU) relate to other geography metrics?** Read it with AOV by country and revenue mix: volume, value, and share together show which markets matter and why. High order volume at low value reads very differently from low volume at high value. **Q: Can I customise the alert threshold?** This card is informational and has no default alert, but you can configure sensitivity per profile in the Sensitivity tab if you want to be flagged when a country's order share shifts. *** ### Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre *Orders by Country (EU)* is one of hundreds of KPI pulses Vortex IQ tracks across Vinted and 70+ other ecommerce connectors.
