What should an ecommerce store calculate first?
Start with product economics: selling price, cost, gross profit and margin. Then connect marketing metrics such as CAC or ROAS to customer value and conversion rate.
Ecommerce decisions become clearer when pricing, acquisition and customer value are viewed together. Use this toolkit to move from unit economics to funnel performance without mixing definitions between metrics.
