Implementation

Step 1: Fetch Recent Orders

Endpoint: GET https://api.lemonsqueezy.com/v1/orders

Query parameters:

filter[store_id] - Your store ID (required)
page[size] - Number of orders (max 100)
sort - Sort by created_at (newest first)
include - Include order-items for product details

Example request:

curl "https://api.lemonsqueezy.com/v1/orders?filter[store_id]=YOUR_STORE_ID&page[size]=100&sort=-created_at&include=order-items" \
  -H "Accept: application/vnd.api+json" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $LEMON_SQUEEZY_API_KEY"

Response: Same as customer-lookup orders, but returns up to 100 most recent

Step 2: Calculate Metrics

Process the orders data to calculate:

Revenue by timeframe:

// Filter orders by created_at timestamp
const now = new Date();
const today = orders.filter(o => isToday(o.created_at) && o.status === 'paid');
const last7Days = orders.filter(o => isWithinDays(o.created_at, 7) && o.status === 'paid');
const last30Days = orders.filter(o => isWithinDays(o.created_at, 30) && o.status === 'paid');

// Sum totals (amounts are in cents)
const todayRevenue = today.reduce((sum, o) => sum + o.total, 0) / 100;
const weekRevenue = last7Days.reduce((sum, o) => sum + o.total, 0) / 100;
const monthRevenue = last30Days.reduce((sum, o) => sum + o.total, 0) / 100;

Order counts:

const paidOrders = orders.filter(o => o.status === 'paid').length;
const refundedOrders = orders.filter(o => o.refunded === true).length;
const pendingOrders = orders.filter(o => o.status === 'pending').length;

Top products:

// Group by product_name from first_order_item
const productCounts = {};
orders.forEach(order => {
  const product = order.first_order_item?.product_name || 'Unknown';
  productCounts[product] = (productCounts[product] || 0) + 1;
});

// Sort by count descending
const topProducts = Object.entries(productCounts)
  .sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1])
  .slice(0, 5);

Geographic breakdown:

// Group by country
const countryCounts = {};
orders.forEach(order => {
  const country = order.country_formatted || order.country || 'Unknown';
  countryCounts[country] = (countryCounts[country] || 0) + 1;
});

// Sort by count
const topCountries = Object.entries(countryCounts)
  .sort((a, b) => b[1] - a[1])
  .slice(0, 5);

Refund rate:

const refundRate = paidOrders > 0
  ? ((refundedOrders / paidOrders) * 100).toFixed(1)
  : 0;

Date/Time Filtering

Calculate date ranges:

# Today (ISO 8601 format)
TODAY_START=$(date -u +"%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00Z")

# 7 days ago
WEEK_START=$(date -u -d "7 days ago" +"%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00Z")

# 30 days ago
MONTH_START=$(date -u -d "30 days ago" +"%Y-%m-%dT00:00:00Z")

# Filter orders (do this client-side after fetching)
# Lemon Squeezy doesn't support date filtering in API yet

Note: Lemon Squeezy API doesn't have native date filters, so:

Fetch last 100-200 orders (adjust page[size])
Filter by created_at timestamp client-side
For historical data, increase page size or paginate

Performance Optimization

Caching:

Cache results for 5-10 minutes (sales don't change instantly)
Store in local file: .cache/sales-dashboard-{timestamp}.json
Invalidate cache on manual refresh

Pagination:

# For stores with >100 orders, paginate:
curl "https://api.lemonsqueezy.com/v1/orders?filter[store_id]=STORE_ID&page[number]=1&page[size]=100" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $API_KEY"

# Response includes pagination links:
# "links": {
#   "first": "...",
#   "last": "...",
#   "next": "..."
# }
