Sales Reports

Use the Appstore Developer Console to review and download sales reports for your apps.

Access sales reports

To access sales reports, use the following steps

  1. On the Developer Console dashboard, click the Reporting tab.
  2. In the left menu, click Units.

Sales reports page

For the year that you have selected, you can view the reports by Months (the default) or by Marketplace.

When you expand a section, the table contains entries for each marketplace (in the Month view) or each month (in the Marketplace view). The fields in the table correspond to the fields in the CSV file (see table below).

The unit sales reports provide the total units sold. The data can be filtered by year, month, app and marketplace. The IAP and subscription units associated with a specific app are also shown. The report includes units sold and units returned.

Sales data is updated every 6 hours. The timestamp at the top of the page indicates when the data was last updated.

Sales are finalized only at the end of the month after earnings reports are generated, so the sales figures are subject to change within a given month.

Active subscribers and Active subscriptions provides a snapshot of most recent information and do not change with duration. The started, ended and refunded subscriptions are based on the selected time period.

Downloadable sales reports

Starting with the January 2018 report, sales reports contain transactional data, but 2017 and earlier reports contain summary sales data. The CSV table has the same format for both old and new reports. However, the information in the table will vary based on whether the report covers 2018 and later years, or 2017 and earlier years.

In the CSV files for a transactional sales report (2018 and later), you can derive ASIN level earnings by summing up the earnings column.

In the CSV files for 2017 and earlier years, aggregate sales by App/IAP is provided. You can derive ASIN level earnings by summing up the sales price and applying appropriate royalty adjustments for prior years.

The transactional sales reports are grouped based on the month that the invoice was opened. However, there are exceptions, where the transaction is applied to an earlier or a later month. The following examples illustrate possible scenarios:

Early transactions in the month

The Amazon payment system generally does not close invoices exactly on the last day of the month. Invoices may remain open for the first few days of the next month. Transactions that occur early in the next month are mapped to that open invoice until it is closed.

For example, if the invoice for February closes on March 3, the transactions from March 1-3 are included in the February invoice.

Late adjustment for a closed transaction

The Amazon payment system will not adjust a transaction in a closed invoice. The system records the adjustments in the currently open invoice for that vendor.

For example, in February 2018, a refund is reported for a transaction that occurred in October 2017. Since the invoice for September 2017 is already closed, the transaction is mapped to the currently open invoice, which is February 2018.

Download CSV sales report files

  1. On the Developer Console dashboard, click the Reporting tab.
  2. In the left menu, select Download Center.
  3. In the main panel, select the type of the report you want to download.
  4. Select the month of the report that you want to download. For earnings and payments reports, you can download the reports for the entire year.

Fields in the sales report CSV file

The CSV file is a text file with a .csv file extension. The CSV file must use UTF-8 encoding to support localized strings.

The CSV file contains one header row, which displays the column titles. Each subsequent row in the file contains the information for one report item. The Invoice ID field defines a unique identifier for each line-item in the report.
