The Merchant's Guide to Understanding Key E-commerce Store Performance Metrics
Learn the most important numbers to monitor in your online store and how to read them accurately to increase your daily sales and profits.
Actual Conversion Rate and How to Calculate It
The conversion rate is the percentage of visitors who completed a purchase out of your total store visitors. If a hundred people visit your store and two buy, your conversion rate is two percent.
Focusing on this number helps you understand whether your store design and prices encourage the visitor to pay or leave without buying.

Average Order Value and How to Raise It
The average order value shows you how much a customer spends per transaction in your store. Total sales divided by the number of orders gives you this metric accurately.
Raising this number means you generate higher income from the same number of visitors without needing to spend an extra budget on ads to bring new visitors.

Customer Acquisition Cost and Its Impact on Profitability
How much do you pay in ads to bring a new customer who actually buys from your store? This is the question answered by the acquisition cost metric.
If the cost of bringing a customer is higher than your profit from their first order, your store is losing money with every new sale.

Abandoned Cart Rate and Ways to Address It
Customers add products to the cart and then leave without completing the payment, and tracking this percentage reveals the volume of daily lost sales.
Addressing this metric starts by sending a quick reminder via WhatsApp to the customer offering help or making it easier for them to complete the payment.

Customer Retention Rate and Repeat Purchases
Selling to an existing customer is much cheaper than acquiring a new one, and the repeat purchase rate measures how many times the same person returned to buy from you.
Tracking this metric shows you the extent of customer satisfaction with your product quality, delivery speed, and customer service.

Product Page Visitor Bounce Rate
When a visitor enters the product page and leaves immediately without browsing or adding to the cart, this is a bounce rate that needs your immediate attention.
The reason is often unclear pictures, missing descriptions, uncompetitive pricing, or slow page loading.

Net Product Profits After Deducting Costs
Not all store sales are net profits; calculating product cost, shipping, and commissions gives you the real profit for each item.
This metric prevents you from continuing to sell products that achieve high sales but lose money due to high shipping or storage costs.
