How do I automate MRR and churn reporting from Shopify Partner data?
Spreadsheet reporting from Partner exports takes hours and goes stale. Automate it once.
- We report MRR in spreadsheets.
- Partner data is hard to use.
- Which metrics matter?
Pull subscription and payout data from the Partner API or exports, combine it with your own billing and install events from webhooks, and load it into a database or analytics tool. Build a dashboard with MRR, new and lost MRR, churn rate, trial-to-paid and cohort retention. Review weekly. Reconcile with Shopify payouts monthly.
Metrics
| Metric | Why |
|---|---|
| MRR and net new MRR | Growth |
| Churned MRR | Losses |
| Trial-to-paid | Conversion |
| Cohort retention | Long-term value |
| Revenue by plan | Pricing fit |
