Why do I see a data mismatch for Shopify Total Sales and Net Sales reports in ReportGarden?
The discrepancies in Total Sales and Net Sales metric is due to the way Shopify processes refunds on their native platform vs how this data is available via the API.
For example, if an order was placed on 15th Jan, and was refunded in 15th Mar,
In Shopify, the refunded amount is taken into the Total Sales amount for the month of March, which is the day of the refund
In ReportGarden, the refunded amount is taken into the Total Sales amount for the month of January, which is the day of the refund.
The refunded sales amount is attributed to the order placed date in ReportGarden where as it is attributed to the refunded date in Shopify.
This is due to the way the API is structured, since transactions are tightly coupled with orders on Shopify's end
