Questions, answered

Is this recap shared outside my team?

No. WebRun posts an internal Slack recap and updates a private Google Sheet only. Nothing is published publicly or sent to customers, so your sales figures stay within the shop.

Does it combine in-store and online sales?

Yes. It reads sales from your in-store POS and your online channels together in Common Ground and totals them by channel, so you see both the overall picture and where each sale came from.

Can I see how a week compares to the last?

Yes. It appends each week to a running trend sheet and leads the recap with the week-over-week change, so you can spot whether sales and top genres are climbing or slipping.

Put this on autopilot.
