Sales Analytics
Sales analytics shows the sales chart for orders and customers.
Total Customers
Total customers show the total number of customer
World Map
The World map shows the numbers of orders and sales total on the map of the country.
People Online
People online shows the number of people is that are online now if yours just always says zero well it may be true there may only be zero people online at the time or your settings is not logging the people online, you can see admin >> System >> Settings >> Option tab >> Account section and select Yes for customers online. Most importantly it is better to off or disable it because it will insert data in the database for each visitor so if visitors are a lot then it is not a good idea.
Total Orders
The total orders widget shows the total number of orders placed.
Latest Orders
The latest orders widget shows the latest 10 orders placed.
Total Sales
The total sales widget shows the total sales amount.
