Units Per Transaction (UPT)
Units Per Transaction measures the average number of items a customer purchases in a single order. It is calculated by dividing the total number of units sold by the total number of transactions. UPT reflects the effectiveness of cross-selling, product bundling, and merchandising strategies.

Why Units Per Transaction Matters
Increasing units per transaction is one of the most efficient ways to grow revenue because you are extracting more value from traffic you have already paid to acquire. A rising UPT signals that your product recommendations, bundles, and upsells are working. Tracking UPT alongside average order value helps you understand whether revenue gains are coming from higher-priced items or from customers buying more items per visit.
Industry Benchmarks
What is a good UPT? Based on industry benchmarks, an UPT considered low is under 2, average is 2 - 3, and good is 3+. 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.
