# Weekly performance report email

> Get an automated weekly email from Layers on Mondays that summarizes your storefront's search and merchandising performance for the past 7 days.

The **weekly performance report** is an email Layers sends every Monday at 12:00 PM Eastern Time. It gives you a quick read on how search, merchandising, and discovery performed on your storefront over the past 7 days, without needing to open the dashboard.

Use this email when you want a passive, at-a-glance recap of the previous week. It covers the kind of view you might otherwise open [Analytics dashboards](/help/analytics/dashboards) or [Insights](/help/lab/insights) to check.

## Prerequisites

* Your store must be connected to Layers and past onboarding. See [Install](/help/onboarding/install) if you have just installed Layers.
* The store owner's email address must be verified. Layers sends the report to the verified store owner only.
* Forward storefront events to the [Beacon API](/tracking-api/send-events) so the report has search activity to summarize.

## When you receive the email

Layers sends the report once a week, on **Mondays at 12:00 PM ET**, covering the prior ISO week (Monday through Sunday).

You will not receive an email for a given week if any of the following are true:

* Your store had no search activity in the last 7 days.
* The store is flagged as a development store.
* The store owner has not verified their email address.
* The store owner has opted out of the **Weekly reports** email topic.

If a week is skipped, Layers resumes automatically the next Monday if the store becomes eligible again.

## What the email contains

Each report is scoped to a single store and summarizes the last 7 days. It includes:

* Headline metrics for the week, with a comparison against the prior week.
* Highlights of the top-performing searches, collections, and recommendation blocks.
* Notable changes that warrant a closer look in the dashboard.

Every section links back to the corresponding report in Layers so you can drill into the numbers.

## Who receives it

Layers sends one email per store, to that store's verified owner. Team members and additional users on the store do not receive the report. If you want a different person to receive it, transfer store ownership or forward the email manually.

## Opt out

To stop receiving the weekly report, use the **unsubscribe** link in the footer of any weekly report email. This unsubscribes you from the **Weekly reports** topic only. Other Layers emails, such as account and billing notifications, are unaffected.

To resubscribe, use the subscription preferences link in the footer of any other Layers email, or contact support.
