What this means

A 25.6% net margin is healthy. At this point software that lifts AOV or repeat rate (email, reviews, upsells) usually pays for itself quickly.

Show the formula
  • Contribution per order = AOV − product cost − shipping − payment fees − platform fee
  • Returns cost = orders × return rate × (shipping + fees lost)
  • Net profit = contribution × orders − returns cost − ads − software
  • Break-even orders = (ads + software) ÷ contribution per order
