Monitor your Shopify store's key metrics to know when to air them out

We've had a cold and wet spring here so far. Even the cool season veggies are having a slow go at things.

To warm up baby plants I've kept a sheet of greenhouse plastic over my starts to keep them warm. Normally I would've swapped to a mesh one by now, it lets air and heat get out but keeps the squirrels from "transplanting" their own seeds.

This year I have a lot more confidence with this because I bought a thermometer to put in the DIY greenhouse. It keeps track of three temperatures (current, high since midnight, low since midnight) so it's easy to know when remove the plastic for a few hours or even swap for the mesh.

Monitoring the weather is like monitoring your store. They'll be highs and lows but over the long-term, you'd expect certain metrics to show trends.

Repeat Customer Insights can help you monitor your Shopify store's metrics. It uses a few models to collect dozens of metrics for your store, customers, and products. Plus it collects that data automatically so you don't need to fuss with data imports.
