The LTV by Product section helps you understand how much value individual products bring to your business—not just through initial purchases, but through customer retention and reorders.

This view is especially useful for product-level optimization, pricing strategies, and inventory decisions.

The breakdown includes three core areas:



LTV for Top-Selling Products

This chart shows the latest Lifetime Value (LTV) estimations for your top-selling products. Products are ranked by total revenue, giving you a clear sense of which ones contribute most over time—not just through first-time purchases, but repeat ones as well.

You can switch between:

  • 6 months view: Based on the last 6 full months of customer behavior.

  • 12 months view: Based on the last 12 full months of customer behavior.

Why it matters: Understanding LTV by product lets you identify which items are true growth drivers. You might find that a product with a modest AOV has a high LTV because it encourages repeat purchases.



Retention Rates for Top-Selling Products

Next to the LTV chart, you’ll see the Retention vs. Churn Rate comparison for your top-selling products.

  • Retention Rate: Percentage of customers who reordered the same product at least once.

  • Churn Rate: Percentage of customers who did not reorder the product.

This data is based on the last 12 months and helps you understand which products build long-term customer relationships—and which are more likely one-time purchases.

Use this to:

  • Prioritize retention campaigns for low-retention/high-revenue products.

  • Identify sticky products that lead to repeat buyers.



Product Statistics Table

At the bottom, you'll find a detailed breakdown of product-level performance. This section displays key metrics for each product during the selected time range, as well as LTV and retention metrics (only available for products with sufficient data).

You can search by product name or scroll through all available items.
