What's the best dashboard setup for monitoring discount KPIs?

As an e-commerce manager, I'm struggling to create a comprehensive dashboard that effectively tracks the performance of our discount campaigns. I need a clear view of how our promotions impact revenue, conversion rates, and overall store performance. The current reporting feels fragmented, and I'm not sure which metrics truly matter or how to visualize them for quick, actionable insights. How can I design a dashboard that gives me a holistic view of our discount strategies and their real business impact?

The short answer

A discount KPI dashboard should track five core metrics: redemption rate, revenue-per-discount (discounted revenue / discount cost), new vs. returning customer split, average order value during discount vs. non-discount periods, and offer fatigue rate (how quickly conversion drops with repeated offers).

In depth

Best Dashboard Setup for Monitoring Discount KPIs

Most Shopify discount reporting shows only redemption counts and total savings given. A properly designed dashboard reveals whether discounts are profitable, attracting the right customers, and maintaining effectiveness over time.

Core Discount KPIs

KPIFormulaTarget
Discount redemption rateCodes used / Codes issued40-60% for targeted campaigns
Revenue per discount dollarDiscounted order revenue / Total discount given>5x (every $1 discount generates $5+ revenue)
New customer acquisition rateNew customers via discount / Total discount redemptions50%+ for acquisition campaigns
Discount AOV vs. baseline AOVAvg order with discount / Avg order without discountDiscount AOV should match or exceed baseline
Margin impact(Revenue - COGS - Discount) / RevenueStay within defined margin floor
Offer fatigue rateConversion rate Week 1 vs. Week 4 of same campaign<20% drop (significant drop signals fatigue)
