This article explains how common pricing, profitability, and sales performance metrics are calculated in PriceShape
Pricing and profitability
Gross Profit
Gross Profit shows the amount remaining from the sales price after deducting the cost price.
Formula:
Sales price excl. VAT − Cost price excl. VAT
Gross Margin

Formula:
((Sales price excl. VAT − Cost price excl. VAT) / Sales price excl. VAT) × 100
Average Price per Product
Average Price shows the average price across the vendors available for a product.
Formula:
Sum of vendor prices / Number of vendors
Sales performance
Revenue
Revenue is the total value of products sold during a given period.
Formula:
Price × Items sold
Revenue can be calculated including or excluding VAT, depending on the price value used.
Days on Hand

This can help you understand how long you can continue selling at the current pace before the product is expected to run out of stock.
Formula:
Stock quantity / Average items sold during the period
Conversion Rate

Formula:
(Unique sales / Page views) × 100
Average Conversion Rate for a Period
The Average Conversion Rate for a selected period is calculated using the total number of unique sales and page views during that period.
Formula:
(Sum of unique sales / Sum of page views) × 100
Cart Conversion Rate
