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 > Revenue Over Time charts your Walmart Marketplace sales across the selected window so you can see the shape of the trend, not just a single total. It makes growth, decline, and promotional spikes obvious at a glance. Reading it over 90 days smooths out daily noise and surfaces the direction that matters for planning. | | | | --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | **What it counts** | Walmart Marketplace gross sales aggregated across the selected window and plotted as a time series. | | **Sample type** | Backend API data from Walmart Marketplace, refreshed on the standard data refresh. | | **Why it matters** | The trend shape tells you whether the channel is growing or softening, which drives inventory, pricing, and promotional decisions. | | **Reading the value** | A rising area is growth; watch for sustained dips or sharp spikes that warrant a closer look. | | **Currency** | the store currency | | **Time window** | `90D` | | **Alert trigger** | `-` | | **Sentiment key** | `wal_revenue_trend` | | **Roles** | owner, finance | ## Calculation Vortex IQ aggregates your Walmart Marketplace gross sales across the selected 90-day window and plots them as an area series over time. Each point reflects the sales recorded for that interval, so the shape of the area shows momentum rather than a single snapshot. As noted in the At a glance summary, the value is expressed in the store currency. The worked example below shows how reading the trend shape informs a planning decision. ## Worked example *A representative reading of **Revenue Over Time** for a typical merchant on Walmart Marketplace.* On 12 Mar 26 a seller reviews the 90-day area chart and sees a steady climb through the first two months followed by a flattening in the most recent weeks. Daily totals are noisy, but the smoothed trend shows momentum stalling rather than a one-off dip. The action is to check whether the plateau lines up with stock constraints, a lost Buy Box, or softer pricing, then plan a promotion or repricing move to re-accelerate.

Plotting those totals across the same 90-day span should reproduce this card's trend. **Why the Vortex IQ value may legitimately differ:** | Reason | Direction | What to do | | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | --------- | ------------------------ | | **Period boundary.** Vortex IQ uses 90D rolling by default; Seller Center may use calendar periods. | Variable | Match the period range. | | **Time zone.** Seller Center uses the account time zone; Vortex IQ aligns to the merchant reporting time zone. | Marginal | Confirm time zone match. | | **Filter scope.** Profile-level filters (fulfilment type, test orders) may narrow the Vortex IQ view. | Variable | Match filter settings. | **Cross-connector reconciliation:** complement with sibling cards in the same category for the full diagnostic 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). For real-time signals, force a manual refresh from the dashboard. **Q: Why does my Walmart Seller Center show a different number?** Seller Center reports may use calendar periods that differ from the rolling 90-day window, and refunds or adjustments can post on dates that shift individual points. Time-zone and profile-filter differences can also change which sales fall into each interval. **Q: Does the trend show gross or net revenue?** This card plots gross sales over time. To see the take-home trend after Walmart fees and refunds, pair it with the Net Revenue card. **Q: Can I customise the alert threshold?** Yes, sensitivity thresholds are configurable per profile in the Sensitivity tab. Adjust to match your business baseline rather than relying on the generic default. *** ### Tracked live in Vortex IQ Nerve Centre *Revenue Over Time* is one of hundreds of KPI pulses Vortex IQ tracks across Walmart Marketplace and 70+ other ecommerce connectors.
