How NC CPA is calculated
  • βœ…
    Only FIRST purchases count.
    Not repeat orders β€” because that's what "customer acquisition cost" actually means.
  • βœ…
    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.
  • βœ…
    Advertising spend only.
    Pure media cost from Google / Meta / TikTok / Bing. Affiliate payouts excluded β€” keeping it directly comparable across stores.
  • βœ…
    28-day rolling window.
    Anchored on your
    order date
    , so the number answers the question:
    What did I pay to buy new customers in the last 28 days?
  • βœ…
    Cancelled / fully-refunded orders removed.
    But partial refunds, offline orders, and test orders are still included (loose filter β€” no phantom NC CPA drops).

Your data never leaves the pool individually.
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.
