Net Sales
Net Sales is the total revenue from goods sold minus sales returns, sales allowances, and sales discounts. It is the standard measure of a company's actual sales performance as reported on income statements. Net sales is often used interchangeably with net revenue, though it specifically focuses on the sales of goods rather than all revenue streams.

Why Net Sales Matters
Net sales is the number that matters on your income statement because it reflects what customers actually paid after all adjustments. It provides the clearest picture of demand for your products stripped of the noise from promotional discounts and product returns. Comparing net sales period over period gives you an honest view of whether your business is truly growing.
Industry Benchmarks
What is a good Net Sales? Based on industry benchmarks, a Net Sales considered healthy is 90%+ of gross, average is 80% - 90% of gross, and low is under 80% of gross. These figures vary by industry, product category, and business model, so use them as directional guidance rather than hard targets.

Average Order Value (AOV)
Average Order Value is the mean dollar amount spent each time a customer places an order on your store. It is calculated by dividing total revenue by the number of orders over a given period. AOV is one of the simplest yet most impactful levers for growing revenue without acquiring new customers.
Ecommerce Conversion Rate
Ecommerce Conversion Rate is the percentage of website visitors who complete a purchase. It is calculated by dividing the number of sessions that result in an order by the total number of sessions. Conversion rate is a core indicator of how well your store turns traffic into paying customers.
Revenue Per Session
Revenue Per Session is the average amount of revenue generated by each visitor session on your store. It is calculated by dividing total revenue by total sessions. Unlike conversion rate, this metric accounts for both the likelihood of a purchase and the value of that purchase.
Refund Rate
Refund Rate is the percentage of orders that result in a full or partial refund. It is calculated by dividing the number of refunded orders by the total number of orders. A high refund rate can indicate product quality issues, misleading product descriptions, or fulfillment problems.
Cart Abandonment Rate
Cart Abandonment Rate is the percentage of shoppers who add items to their cart but leave without completing the purchase. It is calculated by dividing the difference between carts created and carts completed by the total carts created. This metric reveals how much potential revenue is slipping through the cracks at checkout.
Inventory Turnover
Inventory Turnover measures how many times a business sells and replaces its inventory over a given period. It is calculated by dividing cost of goods sold by the average inventory value. A higher turnover means you are efficiently converting inventory into sales.
