<Tip>
  Cost per Customize Product measures how much ad spend is required to generate one product customization event on your site.
</Tip>

## Formula

<Info>
  **Cost per Customize Product** = **Blended Ad Spend** ÷ **Customize Products**
</Info>

### Formula Components

| Metric                 | Definition                                                  |
| ---------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------------- |
| **Blended Ad Spend**   | Total advertising spend across all connected ad platforms   |
| **Customize Products** | Number of product customization events tracked by the pixel |

| Metadata        |                         |
| --------------- | ----------------------- |
| **Type**        | Currency                |
| **Data Source** | [Upstack Pixel](/pixel) |
| **Aggregation** | Ratio                   |

## Example

Your store spent **\$2,400** on ads last week and recorded **800** customize product events.

| Metric                         | Value      |
| ------------------------------ | ---------- |
| Blended Ad Spend               | \$2,400    |
| Customize Products             | 800        |
| **Cost per Customize Product** | **\$3.00** |

Each product customization cost \$3.00 in ad spend to generate.

***

## How It Works

The Upstack Pixel tracks `customize_product` events when visitors configure or personalize products on your site — selecting sizes, colors, engravings, or other customization options. This metric divides your total ad spend by the number of these events to show how efficiently your campaigns drive product engagement.
