## How it works

Exclusion rules change analytics without deleting transactions or financial records. A payment left out of a chart may still be refundable and included in accounting.

## Implementation

Match an IP address, CIDR range, device or shop, then choose which metrics and dates the rule affects. Conversion, success rate, volume, location and theme attribution can have separate exclusions. Review the note shown on analytics pages and retain the rule context when exporting. Do not use an exclusion to conceal an unresolved transaction or reconciliation error.
