## Formula

<Info>
  **Shipping Revenue** = **SUM** ( Shipping Fees )
</Info>

### Formula Components

| Metric            | Definition                                             |
| ----------------- | ------------------------------------------------------ |
| **Shipping Fees** | Shipping charges collected at checkout from each order |

| Metadata        |                             |
| --------------- | --------------------------- |
| **Type**        | Currency                    |
| **Data Source** | [Shopify](/sources/shopify) |
| **Aggregation** | Sum                         |

***

## Example

Your store collected **\$12,450 in shipping fees** during Q1:

| Month    | Shipping Revenue | Orders | Avg per Order |
| -------- | ---------------- | ------ | ------------- |
| January  | \$4,850          | 892    | \$5.44        |
| February | \$4,120          | 756    | \$5.45        |
| March    | \$3,480          | 945    | \$3.68        |

March's decline reflects a free shipping promotion that increased order volume but reduced per-order shipping revenue.

## How It Works

Shipping Revenue sums all shipping fees charged to customers at checkout across orders in the period. This includes flat-rate, weight-based, and calculated shipping. Free shipping orders contribute \$0 to this total. Use this metric to understand how much revenue you collect to offset fulfillment costs.
