Because Supercycle uses native Shopify orders, products, customers, and tags, most of your circular commerce activity is already flowing into Shopify Analytics. Every charge Supercycle collects — initial checkouts, recurring billing cycles, and draft orders for late fees — results in a Shopify order with full line item, customer, tag, and financial context. That means you can use the same reports you rely on for retail to understand rental, subscription, membership, and resale performance, often without any extra setup.Documentation Index

Reports that work out of the box
Sales reports
All Supercycle revenue appears in your Sales over time, Sales by product, and Sales by channel reports. Recurring membership and subscription charges create new orders each billing cycle, so they accumulate in sales totals automatically. Use the Sales by product report to compare revenue across your catalog — rental products and retail products side by side.Order reports
The Orders over time and Order details reports include every Supercycle order. You can filter these reports using the tags Supercycle applies:Has rental products— orders containing rental itemsHas membership— orders containing a membership plan
Subscription reports
If you use the Subscription or Membership method, Supercycle creates Shopify subscription contracts. Shopify’s built-in subscription reports become available automatically:- New subscriptions over time — tracks when customers start subscriptions
- Subscription sales over time — recurring revenue from subscription billing
- Subscription vs one-time sales — compare circular revenue against retail
Subscription reports populate automatically when Supercycle creates subscription contracts. No additional setup is required.
Customer reports
Supercycle tags every customer with their membership status and activity. Shopify’s Customer cohort analysis and Returning customer rate reports let you track retention across your circular commerce customers. The RFM (Recency, Frequency, Monetary) analysis works particularly well for rental businesses, where repeat transactions are the norm rather than the exception.Finance reports
All payment activity — including recurring billing attempts and draft order payments — flows into Shopify’s finance reports. Use Finances summary and Payment methods to reconcile circular commerce revenue alongside retail.Filtering reports by Supercycle activity
Shopify lets you filter reports by tags, product type, and other dimensions. Combined with the tags Supercycle applies, you can isolate circular commerce data within any report.Filter by order tags
Supercycle applies these tags to orders:| Tag | Applied when |
|---|---|
Has membership | Order contains a membership plan product |
Has rental products | Order contains rental products |
Recurring order #1, #2, etc. | Indicates the billing cycle number |
Filter by customer tags
Supercycle applies these tags to customers:| Tag | Applied when |
|---|---|

Has canceled subscription | Customer has canceled their membership |
Supercycle member | Customer has made any rental order |
{Plan name} subscriber | Customer is on a specific plan (e.g. Starter subscriber) |
Filter by product
Since Supercycle products are standard Shopify products, you can filter any Sales by product or Product analytics report to specific items. Use thesupercycle.methods metafield to identify which products are configured for circular commerce.
Building custom reports
Shopify’s custom report builder lets you combine metrics and dimensions to create reports tailored to circular commerce. Here are some useful combinations:Rental revenue by product
