CROCHET ECOMMERCE REVENUE ENGINE
How is Crochet Revenue's financial model calculated?
Revenue starts with customers acquired through marketing and CAC spending, adds customer visiting orders, converts orders into units, allocates product mix and applies category prices.
01
Get customers
Calculate customers separately by channel as marketing expenses ÷ CAC, apply seasonality, and then add online and offline customers.
02
Build repeating cohorts
The percentage of new customers becomes repeat buyers, and each cohort remains active for a certain lifetime.
03
Calculating orders
monthly orders equal to first purchases from new customers plus active orders repeat customers × average monthly recurring orders.
04
allocation of units
Units sold are equal to total orders × average units per order and then the sales mix allocates the unit in individual categories.
05
Calculate the Revenue
The revenue category is equal to the units allocated × the price of the category, and then the categories and months are summed to the total E-TREADING revenue.
CORE FORMULARevenue = assigned category units × category price

PRODUCT FIT
Is Crochet's financial model right for you?
It is adapted to enterprises that apply this customer-to-order revenue logic to the product in electronic commerce; substantially different revenue mechanisms or reporting structures may require individual modelling.
READY-MADE MODEL
It fits perfectly
You're gaining new customers through online and offline marketing channels with CAC edited.
Some new customers return for further orders during the customer's edited lifetime.
Orders are converted into units and allocated by product category using a sales mix.
You need edited five-year statements, scenario analysis, and a dashboard report in one workbook.
CUSTOM STRUCTURE
Think about the model
Your revenue depends on subscriptions, markets, commissions, wholesale contracts or other mechanisms.
You need customer cohorts, channels, or product economies calculated differently than the delivered e-commerce structure.
Your operational schedules require specialized capability, production, inventory, or project execution time beyond your current configuration.
You need a different reporting structure, additional schedules or results built on specific requirements.
The indicator is the starting point for planning, not a guarantee of performance.
