How to use Shopping Campaign Performance Calculator

  3. Reconcile retained revenue with COGS and both media and feed-platform costs.

Calculator guide

Understanding Shopping Campaign Performance Calculator

Shopping campaigns begin with feed eligibility and end with retained order margin. This calculator connects those operational and financial layers without treating placed orders as final revenue.

Feed supply Eligible products and impressions per product determine modeled auction visibility.
Order retention Placed orders are reduced by cancellations and returns.
Contribution Retained gross profit must cover both ad spend and feed cost.

Detailed calculation process

Detailed shopping-campaign calculation process

The default example connects feed eligibility to retained order contribution.

General formula: I = PqC = I(r_c/100)O_g = C(r_o/100)O = O_g(1-r_r/100)R = OvG = R(1-r_g/100)K = G-A-F Eligible products create impressions, clicks create orders, returns reduce the order base, and retained gross profit is reduced by ad and feed cost.

What each symbol means

P eligible products (products)
q average impressions per product (impressions/product)
C shopping clicks (clicks)
O_g, O placed and retained orders (orders)
v average retained order value (currency/order)
r_g COGS share of revenue (%)
A, F ad spend and feed cost (currency)
K shopping contribution (currency)

Worked substitution with the default inputs

1. Build traffic I = 1,200 × 850 = 1,020,000C = 1,020,000 × 0.0135 CTR is converted from 1.35% to 0.0135.
2. Retain orders O_g = C × 0.038O = O_g × (1 - 0.09) The return and cancellation rate reduces placed orders.
3. Reconcile economics R = O × $86G = R × (1 - 0.48)K = G - $24,000 - $3,500 Only retained gross profit is available to cover campaign costs.

Contribution plus ad spend, feed cost, and COGS must reconcile to retained revenue.

Worked situations

Practical examples

  • A feed cleanup can increase eligible products while holding per-product impressions constant.
  • A high-return apparel campaign can test whether retained ROAS still clears the target after returns.

Better inputs

Useful tips

  • Use retained revenue after cancellations and returns.
  • Keep feed or merchandising tooling outside ad spend.
  • Compare product groups separately when margin and return rates differ materially.

Before relying on the result

Limitations and common mistakes

  • Auction mix, bids, shipping, taxes, promotions, stockouts, and repeat value are excluded.
  • One average impression count, order value, COGS rate, and return rate are applied across eligible products.
  • Attribution settings can change reported order counts.

Reference

Key terms

Eligible product
A feed item approved and able to participate in the shopping auction.
Retained ROAS
Revenue remaining after cancellations and returns divided by ad spend.
COGS
Cost of goods sold assigned to retained revenue.

Important note

For mixed catalogs, run separate calculations for product groups with materially different order values, margins, or return rates.

Frequently asked questions

Why include feed cost?

Feed tooling and merchandising can be required to create and maintain eligible inventory.

Is ROAS based on gross orders?

No. This page uses retained order revenue.

Does break-even include COGS?

Yes. It divides ad and feed cost by retained gross profit per order.
