Monetization

Sales

Sales data within Analytics enables you to have a complete view of how your app generates revenue through app and In-App Purchases, and allows you to break down your results to identify key sales drivers. For example, you can see which In-App Purchases users buy the most, compare your revenue by territory, or see which user acquisition channels are driving the most revenue.

Analytics in App Store Connect also provides you with cohort capabilities for your sales data, enabling you to see how many users start paying in the days after download, and how much they spend. Learn more about cohorts.

Sales data will appear in the Analytics dashboard when at least one purchase has occurred — either as a paid app purchase or an In-App Purchase.

To export sales data in bulk, use the Analytics reports in the App Store Analytics API.
