Track app usage metrics with the Partner Dashboard
You can find detailed information about your apps' revenue, installations, and reviews on the Apps page in your Partner Dashboard. From there, you can see at a glance how each of your apps is performing, how merchants are using your apps, and how much revenue your apps have generated.
View app analytics
Anchor link to section titled "View app analytics"Analytics for each app appear on its Overview page in your Partner Dashboard.
For data that includes a percentage change, the change compares data for the date range shown in the dashboard with the cumulative data prior to the start of that date range.
For example, when you look at the number of app installs for the last 90 days, the percentage change compares the number of installs during the past 90 days to the total number of installs from the day that your app was created up to the start of that 90-day period. If your app was installed 1000 times during its first year, and then was installed 100 times during the following 90 days, then the percentage change for that 90-day period would be 10% (100/1000).

App metric definitions
Anchor link to section titled "App metric definitions"The following table includes definitions for the metrics that appear on the Overview page:
| Total earnings to date | The sum of an app's pending payments and payments received. |
|---|---|
| Merchants with your app | The total number of active stores with the app installed. Active stores include any stores currently on a paid or trial plan, staff stores, and development stores. This number excludes stores that are canceled or frozen. |
| Merchant growth | The cumulative number of active stores with the app installed over the selected date range. |
| Installs | The total number of installs over the selected date range. An install occurs after a merchant approves the permissions shown on the OAuth grant screen. This number excludes stores that are canceled or frozen. |

| Time to uninstall | The number of stores that have uninstalled an app over the selected date range. Time periods are:

| Closed stores | The number of stores that have closed (the merchant is no longer an active Shopify customer) with your app installed at the time of closing. This number includes stores that are canceled or frozen. |
| Earnings | The sum of the app's pending and previous payouts, minus any application credits that have been deducted, for the selected date range. The amount doesn't include any payments from merchants who have yet to pay an outstanding balance to Shopify. To learn more about how earnings are calculated, see Earnings. Application credits will be subtracted from this amount for any payments. |

| Usage charges | The sum of an app's earnings through the UsageCharge API. It includes all pending and previous payments made through the API. |
| Application credits | The sum of an app's earnings through the ApplicationCredit API. Application credits should always be negative. |

The earnings amount refers to how much an app developer has been paid. It includes both paid out amounts and pending payments, and it reflects the deduction of Shopify's revenue share and any application credits. Your share of the revenue is defined in the Shopify Partner revenue share agreement.
Payments occur after a merchant has paid their Shopify invoice. The payment schedule depends on the type of charges made by the app:
- For a RecurringApplicationCharge, it can take up to 37 days from the time a merchant agrees to the charge to the time that the charge appears as an earning in your Partner Dashboard.
- For an ApplicationCharge, merchants are invoiced immediately and the charge will appear as an earning in your Partner Dashboard within 7 days.
