Example
Your Shopify store generated $47,500 in revenue from 12,500 sessions in February:
| Week | Revenue | Sessions | Rev/Session |
|---|
| Week 1 | $10,200 | 2,800 | $3.64 |
| Week 2 | $11,800 | 3,100 | $3.81 |
| Week 3 | $12,500 | 3,400 | $3.68 |
| Week 4 | $13,000 | 3,200 | $4.06 |
| Total | $47,500 | 12,500 | $3.80 |
How It Works
Revenue per Session divides your total tracked revenue from Shopify orders by the number of unique sessions tracked by the Upstack pixel. A higher value indicates that sessions are converting more efficiently into revenue, either through higher conversion rates or larger order values.
