Home dashboard overview

Understand the key sales metrics and recent activity for orders and subscriptions on your Home dashboard.

The Home dashboard is the first page you see when signing in to the FastSpring app. It provides a quick snapshot of your store's performance, recent activity, and account details. Use it for a high-level view before drilling down into the dedicated Revenue Overview or Subscription Overview dashboards.

Search and quick actions

At the top of the page, you will see a personalized welcome message and a global search bar. The search bar lets you find orders or subscriptions by ID or keyword. Search is case sensitive, and results include both orders and subscriptions. Click any result to open its details page.

What you can search

Search Field Example
Order or Subscription Reference ABC123-123-123

Quick actions

In addition to search, you can jump directly into order and subscription management using the shortcut buttons:

  • Manage Orders
    Opens a list view where you can browse detailed order history. From there, you can click into individual records for more information.

  • Manage Subscriptions
    Opens a list view of subscription history with the option to drill down into subscription details.

Account summary

The account summary in the upper-right corner shows your current balance and the date of your next payout.

  • Next Payout
    Shows the scheduled payout amount and date. Clicking this value opens the Account Transactions screen.

News and updates

On the right-hand side of the dashboard, you will find a panel with the latest FastSpring content. The FastSpring News feed includes product announcements, insights, and best practices. The Release Notes feed summarizes recent updates and new features. This section helps you stay informed without leaving your workspace.

Net sales chart

The center of the dashboard is dedicated to the Net Sales chart, which provides a visual summary of recent revenue trends. Net sales are calculated as gross sales minus refunds, excluding tax.

Formula: Net Sales = Gross Sales – Refunds (excludes tax)

You can filter the chart to view data for the past 12 months, 30 days, 7 days, or 24 hours. All dates and times are displayed in UTC.

  • Above the chart: The current net sales total is displayed (for example: $12,500). This total links directly to the Revenue Overview dashboard for deeper analysis.
  • Beneath the chart: A comparison note shows performance against the previous period (for example: vs $10,200 last period).

If no data is available for the selected timeframe, the chart displays a placeholder message.

Performance last 30 days

Below the Net Sales chart, four performance cards summarize your store's activity over the last 30 days. Each card includes a mini-chart and links to a detailed dashboard.

  • Orders
    Shows the total number of completed orders within the last 30 days. This includes subscription renewals but does not include refunds. Links to the Revenue Overview dashboard.

  • Net Sales
    Displays net sales, calculated as gross sales minus refunds, excluding tax. Links to the Revenue Overview dashboard.

    Formula: Net Sales = Gross Sales – Refunds (excludes tax)

  • MRR (monthly recurring revenue)
    Compares current MRR with MRR as of 30 days ago. Links to the Subscription Overview dashboard.

  • Average Order Value
    Calculates the average revenue per order as net sales divided by the total number of orders. Refunds are included in this calculation. Links to the Revenue Overview dashboard.

    Formula: Average Order Value = Net Sales ÷ Orders (includes refunds)

Most recent activity

The lower portion of the Home dashboard gives you a quick view into refunds, chargebacks, and subscription activity from the past 7 days. This section is divided into four tabs: Refunds, Chargebacks, Renewing Subscriptions, and Overdue Subscriptions.
