Sultanpepa Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I'm just wondering about the frequency of sales during the day. I can't ever remember getting a sale come through in the morning and then again in the afternoon. Is it a once a day addition or can sales get reported as and when they arrive at Alamy? The thought just crossed my mind that's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 If you use Net Revenue set to "date of invoice" you will get sales reported in real time but looking at it becomes a bit addictive!! Make sure you set the correct date range too. Pearl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just can't recall that ever happening to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew when they'd made the purchase as they emailed several times as they did it, and I did see the sale appear straight away (using the "download sales report" screen of course). Also on the last day of a month I often get more than one batch of sales come through at different times. Geoff. That answers the question then, thanks.

Years ago, I wrote a little server for my computer that received a message from my website every time an order came in, and I set it to play a sound clip of the House of Commons Speaker saying "Order, order". I found that it got so addictive that I couldn't get up from my desk to do something else in case I missed the sound. Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Mitchell Posted March 26, 2018 Share Posted March 26, 2018 I have had sales show up in the AM and then again in the PM on the same day, but it's a pretty rare event. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sultanpepa Posted March 26, 2018 Author Share Posted March 26, 2018 Don't you just know it! A second sale came in late on today. If it's happened before I haven't noticed. Ever get the feeling the bods at Alamy are just waiting to pounce on your every word? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
