Questions, answered

Does this recap go to customers?

No. It is an internal digest posted only to your own Slack channel for your team. Nothing goes to customers.

How does it split online from in-store sales?

It reads the sale channel recorded on every Rain POS transaction, so counter sales and online shop orders are totaled and compared separately, not blended into one number.

Can it show which fiber categories sell better online?

Yes. It breaks each channel down by fiber category, so you can see if certain yarns sell better at the counter or through the online shop.

Put this on autopilot.
