You’ve heard it over and over again: as a business owner, you need to know how your business is doing financially. Broadly speaking, financial metrics capture information indicating your business’s financial health. It’s important to track these measures so that you can make informed decisions about the future of your business. Ecommerce is a fast-paced and ever-changing industry. As a Shopify seller, you must have the right tools and resources to keep up with the latest trends and developments in your niche. These tips will help you understand each metric’s meaning, why it matters, and how to track it for your business.
What are the most critical Shopify sales metrics?
You can use dozens of different business metrics to evaluate your business. However, there are a few that are absolutely essential, as well as a few that are useful to track depending on your business type. These are
- Revenue – Revenue is how much you’re bringing in from sales. Revenue is usually tracked over time, like monthly or quarterly. It can also be helpful to track revenue by channel to see which marketing channels drive the most revenue for your business.
- Cost – Cost is how much it costs you to run your business. This includes all the costs associated with your products, the cost of supplies, and the cost of running your office. You may also want to track costs per unit or customer acquisition if you sell a high-volume product.
- Profit – Profit is the difference between revenue and costs. If revenue is greater than costs, then you have a profit. You want to ensure that your profit margins are healthy and that you’re making money.
- Cash flow – Cash flow is how much money is coming into your business compared to how much is going out. You want to ensure that your cash flow is healthy so that you can pay your employees, suppliers, and other bills on time.
How to track your Shopify metrics?
Start by identifying the most important metrics for your Shopify store business. Once you know what metrics are relevant to your business, you can start tracking them. It is an old practice to keep a journal or spreadsheet of your metrics over time to create a historical record for your metrics. But that’s not an easy task, especially in this day and age where there are many metrics to track and cull out insights from them.
Did you know that Google Analytics gives you ~200 metrics and Facebook ads give you 350+ metrics? Now, if you add other data sources, like Google ads, Tiktok Ads, and Shopify, you will have at least a thousand metrics to deal with. And then think about joining all the data and handling all platform discrepancies (at times, Google Analytics doesn’t record all orders because some users use a VPN or have an ad blocker).
