# Product metrics

> Read prices, ranks, and price stability per product over a selectable time window.

Product metrics show one row per tracked product with its prices, ranks, and price stability on the marketplace. Every value comes from the **measurements** that PricePirate records regularly for the connected [listing](/docs/en/guide/concepts/listings-and-offers). Each [synchronization](/docs/en/guide/automation/syncs) creates a new measurement with all offers visible in it.

You find the metrics on the **Products** page in the **Metrics** tab. While [reports](/docs/en/guide/reports/overview) summarize the whole marketplace, product metrics show exactly one row per product.

Price, Own Price Rank, Avg. Price Rank, and Volatility" width="1555" height="1011" data-path="images/en/insights/metrics-default.png" />

## Filters and controls

The header of the **Metrics** tab controls which data the table shows. Every control takes effect on the whole table immediately.

**Time window** switches between **7 days**, **14 days**, and **30 days**. The default is **7 days**. All averages, shares, sparklines, and the volatility respect this window.

**Marketplace** appears only when more than one marketplace is configured. The default is the marketplace you set for price changes in the settings. Read more under **Markets** in [Settings](/docs/en/guide/account/settings).

**Sorting** opens a menu with **Sort by** (column) and **Order** (**Ascending** or **Descending**). The default is **Avg. Own Price Rank** ascending. Clicking a column header also sorts by that column.

**Columns** shows or hides individual metric columns. Only **Min. Price without Shipping**, **Own Price Rank**, **Avg. Own Price Rank**, and **Price Volatility** are visible by default; show any other column here.

**Product filter** restricts the table to selected products or a collection. Active filters appear as removable chips above the table, along with a button that removes all filters at once.

## The columns

Each row stands for a tracked product. The four price columns also show a **sparkline** with the trend over the selected window; the value next to it is a chip that opens the [detail view](/docs/en/guide/insights/metrics-details) at the matching chart. “Current” always means the most recent measurement in the window, while average values are averaged across all measurements in the window.

The columns without shipping show the plain product price, the total columns show the [total price including shipping](/docs/en/guide/concepts/total-price). Compare both when shipping matters on the marketplace.

The colored badges signal the situation at a glance from green (good) to red (critical): lower ranks and higher cheapest shares are better. **Price Volatility** has no good-or-bad color – it only shows how restless the cheapest price of the listing is. A **-** means there is no data for this product and window, for example because there is no own offer or no measurement yet. When the most recent measurement is more than a day old, a warning icon appears next to **Own Price Rank** and **Own Total Rank** indicating that the data might be outdated.

Persistently high or rising ranks are a signal to review the product's [pricing strategy](/docs/en/guide/pricing/strategies) and its [minimum price](/docs/en/guide/pricing/settings). High [price volatility](/docs/en/guide/insights/volatility) marks listings with a lot of price movement – good candidates for more [synchronizations](/docs/en/guide/automation/syncs) and for [auto-applying price changes](/docs/en/guide/price-changes/auto-apply). When a pattern shows across many products, look at it for the whole marketplace through the [reports](/docs/en/guide/reports/overview).

## Open the detail view

Select a single row and click **Show details** to open that product's price and rank history. It is faster to click a price chip: it jumps straight to the [detail view](/docs/en/guide/insights/metrics-details) at the matching chart (price or total price). The **Navigation** menu in the selection bar also moves to the [product settings](/docs/en/guide/catalog/product-settings) or [price changes](/docs/en/guide/price-changes/review) for the selected product.

As long as you track no products yet, the table stays empty. Connect your Shopify catalog to listings to monitor competitor pricing – read more under [Add products](/docs/en/guide/catalog/add-products).
