New Customer CPA Benchmark

How NC CPA is calculated
- β
Only FIRST purchases count.Not repeat orders β because that's what "customer acquisition cost" actually means.
- β
Attributed using Attribuly Full Impact model.30-day click window + 1-day view window with a balanced 40/40/20 position weighting (first/last/middle). The same calculation our recommendations engine uses.
- β
Advertising spend only.Pure media cost from Google / Meta / TikTok / Bing. Affiliate payouts excluded β keeping it directly comparable across stores.
- β
28-day rolling window.Anchored on yourorder date, so the number answers the question:What did I pay to buy new customers in the last 28 days?
- β
Cancelled / fully-refunded orders removed.But partial refunds, offline orders, and test orders are still included (loose filter β no phantom NC CPA drops).

Every benchmark number is aggregated and anonymized β other merchants never see your store, and you never see theirs. It's a one-way mirror: everyone gets the market-level truth, nobody gets anyone's private numbers.Questions? Feedback? Tell us what metric you want next.
