Track your inventory and reservations with the Analytics add-on
Stock levels, reservation activity, and financial data. All in one dashboard.
The Analytics add-on adds a dedicated Analytics screen under the WP Inventory menu. All Pro users get a live inventory health dashboard out of the box. Activate your Analytics license to unlock reservation reporting, ledger summaries, location breakdowns and a one-click CSV export. Each section appearing automatically based on which add-ons you have installed.
Installation
- Purchase and download the Analytics add-on from wpinventory.com/downloads/add-on-analytics/.
- In your WordPress dashboard, go to Plugins → Add New → Upload Plugin and upload the zip file.
- Click Activate Plugin.
- Go to WP Inventory → Analytics → License.
- Enter your license key from your wpinventory.com account and click Activate License. The full Analytics suite unlocks immediately.
The Dashboard
The dashboard is visible to all Pro users at WP Inventory → Analytics. Summary cards at the top show your total items, active and inactive counts, total quantity in stock, out-of-stock count, and low-stock count (items at 5 units or fewer).
Below the cards, three tables give you a deeper view:
- Inventory by Category: item count, total quantity, and reserved quantity per category
- Items by Status: item count and quantity grouped by each status you have configured
- Recently Updated Items: active items modified in the last 30 days, with item number, quantity, and last updated date
A Low Stock Alert table lists all active items at 5 units or fewer, sorted by quantity, with category, reserved count, and price — making it easy to spot what needs reordering at a glance.
Reservation Overview (requires Reserve Cart)
With the Analytics license active and Reserve Cart installed, the dashboard adds a Reservation Overview section showing total reservation count and total reservation value. Below the summary cards, a Recent Reservations table lists the last 20 reservations with date, customer name (pulled from checkout form data), item count, quantity, and order total.
A Top Reserved Items table ranks your top 10 inventory items by total quantity reserved, with in-stock quantity and reservation count.
Reservations-per-Week Chart (requires Reserve Cart)
A dual-axis chart shows reservation count (bars, left axis) and total reservation value (line, right axis) week by week over the last 12 weeks. Use the date filter at the top of the page to focus on any custom date range.
Ledger Summary (requires Ledger)
Four cards display your ledger totals for the selected date range: total entries, total quantity, pending value, and completed value.
Inventory by Location (requires Locations Manager)
A table showing item count and total quantity assigned to each of your locations.
Top Users by Inventory Items (requires Advanced User Control)
A ranked table of your top 10 users by number of inventory items, with their email address and total quantity.
CSV Export (requires Reserve Cart)
The Export tab lets you download all reservation data as a CSV file. One row per line item. The export automatically detects all fields from your checkout form and flattens them into individual columns, so fields like customer name, phone, or address appear as their own columns regardless of how your form is configured. Use the date filter to narrow the export to a specific period.
Date Filter
The From/To date picker at the top of the dashboard applies to: Reservation Overview, the weekly chart, Recent Reservations, Top Reserved Items, Ledger Summary and the CSV export. Core inventory tables (categories, statuses, low stock) always show all-time data and are not date-filtered.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need WP Inventory Manager Pro?
Yes. The Analytics dashboard requires an active Pro license. Without Pro, a prompt to upgrade is shown instead of the dashboard.
I installed the plugin but only see the basic dashboard. Where are the reservation sections?
Go to WP Inventory → Analytics → License and make sure your license key is entered and shows as valid. The advanced sections require both an active license and the relevant add-on (e.g. Reserve Cart for reservation data).
What happens when my Analytics license expires?
The dashboard continues to work. License renewal is required to receive plugin updates and support.
My CSV export has unexpected columns. Is that normal?
Yes. The export scans all reservation records and creates one column for each checkout form field it finds. If your form has changed over time, older reservations may have fewer columns than newer ones.
