Payments and Web Performance Data Available in Sidekick
Discover the Update: Real-World Impact in Plain English
For Shopify merchants, managing payments and tracking web performance can often feel like a juggling act. Enter Sidekick’s latest update—an intuitive tool that translates your questions into actionable data insights. Imagine you run an online clothing store. You want to understand your payment distribution by method over the past quarter to optimize for lower transaction fees. Simply ask, “What were my net payments for each payment method last quarter?” and Sidekick does the rest. It instantly pulls, analyzes, and presents the data, allowing you to make informed decisions swiftly. This feature not only saves time but empowers you with clear insights to drive effective business strategies.
Let’s Talk on Tech Side
Sidekick’s new update leverages ShopifyQL, Shopify’s query language specifically designed for its ecosystem. This update allows technical users to create and run queries with unprecedented ease. What’s more, the integration of payments and web performance data into Sidekick means developers and technically adept users can now deeply dive into their store’s performance metrics using efficient, customized queries. For instance, a simple ShopifyQL query can help list the fulfillment times by carrier, optimizing logistics and operations. In Sidekick, writing a query might look like this:
// Example query to get net payments by payment methods
SELECT
payment_method,
SUM(net_amount) AS total_net_payments
FROM
transactions
WHERE
transaction_date BETWEEN '2025-10-01' and '2025-12-31'
GROUP BY
payment_method
ORDER BY
total_net_payments DESC;
Such powerful querying capabilities provide not only enhanced operational insights but also assist in creating strategic plans that can be swiftly implemented.
Business Growth Unleashed: What This Means for Merchants
For merchants, Sidekick’s latest feature is more than just a technical advancement—it’s a business enabler. With easy access to vital payments and web performance data, merchants can streamline processes, cut unnecessary costs, and make informed decisions. For example, by analyzing payment methods, a merchant might choose to incentivize usage of a particular payment option with lower transaction fees, thus increasing profit margins. Additionally, understanding web performance metrics means businesses can optimize website elements that might be driving away potential customers, such as high load times or complex navigation issues. All in all, this empowers merchants to create a robust, data-driven approach towards enhancing user experience and boosting sales.
