      How to report on Customer Lifetime Value

      these steps.
          To do this, you'll need to create 4 Calculated Metrics in Databox: 

      • 1 to report on "Purchase Frequency,"
      • 1 to report on "Average Order Value,"
      • 1 to report on "Customer Value," and
      • 1 to report on "Customer Lifetime Value."

      To start, you'll need to create a Calculated Metric to report on "Average Order Value." 

      Pro Tip: "Average Order Value" = "Total Sales" / "Orders"


      Next, calculate "Purchase Frequency." 

      Pro Tip: "Purchase Frequency" = "Orders" / "Total Customers"


      Now you can create a Calculated Metric to report on "Customer Value." 

      Pro Tip: "Customer Value" = "Purchase Frequency" x "Average Order Value" 



      Finally, you can bring everything together and create a Calculated Metric to report on "Customer Lifetime Value." 

      Pro Tip: "Customer Lifetime Value" = "Customer Value" x "Average Customer Lifespan." 

      "Average Customer Lifespan" is calculated by averaging the number of years a customer continues purchasing from your Shopify store. For newer stores, Shopify recommends using an "Average Customer Lifespan" of 3 years. 

      How to report on Country Performance

      In order to report on country performance from Shopify, you will want to create a separate Shopify Account for each country. You can then connect the individual Shopify Accounts in Databox and report on country-specific data. 

      How to report on combined data from multiple Shopify stores

      You can combine data from multiple Shopify stores by connecting each Shopify Account as a separate Data Source in Databox. From here, you can use Data Calculations to combine data from your various stores.
