Subscription metrics next to your profit

What NorthProfit calculates today for subscription products.

  • MRR and ARR

    Recurring revenue per month and per year from the active subscriptions in your Recharge account.

  • Churn and customer value

    Cancellations of the last 30 days (churn), average monthly revenue per subscription (ARPU) and the estimated customer value, each from Recharge.

  • Source: Recharge

    MRR, ARR, ARPU, churn and customer value come from Recharge. You enter the API token (read access) of your Recharge account in NorthProfit; it is stored encrypted.

  • Subscriptions in Shopify and other tools

    Shopify’s own subscriptions and subscriptions from other tools (for example Bold, Skio, Loop) are recognised from the order through your Shopify connection and show realised recurring revenue of the last 30 days. No MRR is derived from them.

  • Next to margin, advertising and returns

    Subscriptions sit next to your shop’s margin, advertising and returns.

  • Cohorts

    Cohorts by month of first purchase show how much revenue new customers bring in the following months.

What the subscription view does today and what it does not

The view is included from the Scale plan. NorthProfit calculates MRR, ARR, ARPU, churn and customer value only from Recharge; without Recharge they do not exist. NorthProfit does not read Shopify subscription contracts. For subscriptions that NorthProfit recognises from the order (including Shopify’s own), it shows realised recurring revenue of the last 30 days, calculated from the most recent orders (up to 500 from the last 90 days); NorthProfit does not derive an MRR from them. The customer value is estimated (ARPU divided by the monthly churn) and is missing as long as there are no cancellations.
