## How it's calculated

```text theme={null}
value = ShopifyQL sessions for one shop reporting day.
```

### Built from

* `ShopifyQL sessions`

## Known caveats

* Primary commerce-side traffic authority.
* The Shopify sync can replace the live partial reporting day; it is not guaranteed to be finalized until the day closes.

## Where this appears

* Overview KPI strip
* Sessions and conversions chart
* Checkout funnel
* Stores conversion rate

    * Organization and store are resolved from the authenticated request.
    * Reads use a half-open interval: recorded\_at >= start and recorded\_at \< end.
    * ShopifyQL sales values are used as reported; no extra paid-order filter is added by Aloftly.

  <Accordion title="Timezone, currency, and freshness" icon="clock">
    **Timezone.** ShopifyQL groups by the shop reporting date; Aloftly stores that date as a UTC-midnight label. Order lifecycle events retain their provider timestamp.

    **Currency.** Not applicable.

    **Freshness.** Finalized daily snapshot from Shopify.
