Check 11 / 12 LOW impact In the full checklist

Segment new vs returning customers in reports

What this check is

Blended revenue hides whether growth comes from new customers or from the same people buying again — two very different businesses with different economics.

How to implement it

Ensure the customer type is captured on the purchase event or available in the store reports, then split the key reports by new and returning and track the share of new customers over time. Compare the cost per acquisition against that split.

How to verify it

Run a monthly report and confirm the new-customer share is calculated from an identified customer, with the sum of new and returning orders equalling the total.
