Automate Shopify Reports in Minutes: A Quick Guide for Busy Store Owners

Why Automating Shopify Reports Matters

In the fast paced world of eCommerce, time is your most valuable asset. Whether you’re managing one Shopify store or several, the last thing you want to do is waste hours each week generating the same sales, inventory, or fulfillment reports. Sure, Shopify offers built in reporting features. But here’s the catch: it doesn’t allow scheduling or automation.

That means you’re either exporting reports manually or relying on spreadsheets to stay organized. Enter Report Pundit, a powerful Shopify reporting tool that helps you automate recurring reports in just a few clicks. No coding. No copy pasting. Just accurate data, delivered when and where you need it.

What Is Shopify Report Automation?

Shopify report automation is the process of setting up your reports once and having them run automatically on your preferred schedule. Whether it’s daily order summaries or month-end sales rollups, you can automate the entire process.

Using a tool like Report Pundit, merchants can generate and distribute reports based on:

• Sales
  
  
• Inventory
  
  
• Customers
  
  
• Fulfillment
  
  
• Marketing
  
  
• Payouts
  
  
• And more...
  
  

And you don’t just get the data — you choose how it’s delivered: via email, Google Drive, Sheets, Slack, FTP, Power BI, or BigQuery. Report Pundit gives you the flexibility to automate Shopify reports on your terms.

The Benefits of Shopify Report Automation

Automating reports isn't just a time-saver — it’s a business growth enabler. Here’s how:

1. Save Hours Every Week

No more repeating the same steps over and over. Set up your reports once and let automation handle the rest. This gives your team more time to focus on strategy, fulfillment, and customer experience.

2. Act Faster with Real-Time Data

Automated reports arrive when you need them — daily, weekly, or monthly — keeping you informed and ready to act. Whether it's spotting a drop in inventory or seeing a sales spike, you’ll respond faster.

3. One-Time Setup = Long-Term Efficiency

Customize your filters, formats, and delivery methods once. Reports will continue running in the background with zero manual intervention.

4. Share Data with Your Team or Vendors

Need to send reports to your accountant, fulfillment partner, or sales manager? Schedule email delivery or connect the report to their preferred platform — no extra work required.

5. Multiple Output Options

Choose the format that works for you: PDF, XLSX, CSV — or sync the data to a live Google Sheet, Power BI dashboard, or Slack channel.

What You Can Automate with Shopify Report Scheduling

From daily updates to long-term trends, Report Pundit makes it easy to automate the reports that matter most. Here are some real-world examples of what merchants are automating today:

Monthly Performance Reports

Automatically run a full-month report on the 1st of each month. For example, receive March’s complete metrics on April 1st — without setting reminders or clicking export.

Daily Sales and Order Summaries

Track KPIs like revenue, order count, payment methods, top products, and customer location — all in a scheduled daily report sent to your inbox.

Multi-Store Rollups

Consolidate sales and inventory data across multiple Shopify stores into a single report. Set it to run weekly and gain visibility across all operations in one place.

Customer Reports by SKU

Want to see who bought a specific variant? Create a SKU-based customer report that lists first name, last name, and email — and automate it weekly or monthly for segmentation and retargeting.

Wholesale Fulfillment Reports

Schedule a daily CSV or Excel file that lists all fulfillments for wholesale clients. Skip the email automatically if no new orders are processed that day.

 Payout and Transaction Fees

Get detailed reports on payment methods, transaction fees, and payouts from gateways like Stripe, PayPal, Klarna, and others — delivered automatically.

Case Study: Automating Event-Based Attendee Reports

Industry: Co-working & Networking Events
Challenge:
A Shopify merchant needed weekly reports of attendees for each of their event dates. Each event was linked to a separate Shopify product, and their team was manually exporting customer data using Shopify’s customer segments.

Solution:
Using Report Pundit, they created a custom report filtered by product. It pulled first name, last name, and email addresses of all attendees per event — and delivered it weekly to the security team.

Result:
Time saved, errors eliminated, and no more scrambling before each event. They now have a scalable system for reporting that grows with their calendar.

Automate Google Sheets Your Way

If Google Sheets is your preferred workspace, Report Pundit gives you full control:

• Choose or create a sheet: Use an existing sheet or let the tool create one
  
  
• Pick the tab: Send data to a specific tab or auto-generate one
  
  
• Append or overwrite: Add new data without deleting the old, or overwrite with each run — your choice
  
  
• Use formulas freely: Since the sheet layout is controlled, your formulas and calculations stay intact
  

Flexible Scheduling, Built Around Your Needs

Choose from flexible frequency and ranges:

• Hourly, Daily, Weekly, Monthly
  
  
• Custom time frames: Week to Date, Month to Date, Quarter to Date, Year to Date — or define your own

Whether you need reports by business hours or after fulfillment runs, Report Pundit’s scheduler fits into your workflow.
