Frequently Asked Questions
How many orders do I need to hit my profit goal?
Required Orders = (Fixed Costs + Target Profit) / Profit per Order. With $12,000 fixed, $10,000 target, and $22 per order, you need 1,000 orders.
How do I turn monthly orders into daily targets?
Divide by selling days: 1,000 monthly orders over 30 days is 33.3 per day. Track intraday pacing so slow mornings trigger same-day promotion or spend shifts.
What if profit per order varies by product?
Use the blended average weighted by mix, then protect it: if discount SKUs dilute the average, required orders rise automatically in the math.
Should weekends count the same as weekdays?
Weight daily targets by historical day-of-week share instead of flat-dividing. Most stores need 120-150% of average on Saturday-Sunday and less midweek.
How do returns affect order goals?
Net profit per order already reserves for returns, so gross orders must be higher: Gross Orders = Required Net Orders / (1 - Return Rate).
