Stripe Metric
Revenue
Coupon Effectiveness = (Net Revenue From Redeemed Coupons - Total Discount Given) / Total Discount Given x 100
Coupon Effectiveness Analysis measures the revenue, conversions and retention generated by each Stripe coupon or promotion code against the discount value given away. In Stripe, every applied coupon is recorded on invoices, subscriptions and charges, so you can attribute redemptions to specific codes and compare net revenue after discount to the gross value of the offer. It tells you which promotions grow durable revenue and which simply hand margin to customers who would have paid full price.

How to calculate coupon effectiveness analysis
Why coupon effectiveness analysis matters for Stripe users
Discounts are easy to launch in Stripe and hard to judge. Without analysis, a code that looks popular because it gets redeemed often can be quietly destroying margin by going to customers who already intended to buy, while a smaller campaign that brings in long-retaining accounts goes unnoticed.
Measuring effectiveness per coupon lets you keep the offers that pull in profitable, retained customers and retire the ones that only discount existing demand. It also protects pricing integrity, since you can spot codes that spread beyond their intended audience or get reused far more than expected.
Understand and act on coupon effectiveness analysis with KPI Tree
Sync your Stripe coupons, promotion codes, invoices and subscriptions into your warehouse and compute Coupon Effectiveness Analysis in KPI Tree. Join discount lines to the customers and subscriptions they applied to, then link the metric into a metric tree alongside customer acquisition cost and customer lifetime value so you can see how each promotion moves the revenue tree, not just the redemption count.
Assign RACI ownership in KPI Tree, typically with growth or revenue operations as accountable and finance as consulted, and set a review cadence that matches your campaign rhythm, for example a monthly review of active codes and a post-mortem at the close of each promotion. KPI Tree keeps the definition consistent so every team reads the same numbers when deciding which discounts to renew.

Customer Acquisition Cost
PaymentsMetric Definition
CAC = Total Sales & Marketing Spend / New Paying Customers Acquired
Customer acquisition cost (CAC) is the total sales and marketing expenditure required to acquire one new paying customer. When paired with Stripe payment data, it links spend to verified first-payment events rather than sign-ups alone.
Customer Lifetime Value
PaymentsMetric Definition
LTV = Average Revenue Per Customer × Average Customer Lifespan
Customer lifetime value (LTV) estimates the total revenue a customer will generate across all transactions over their relationship. For Stripe users, it aggregates both one-time and recurring payments into a comprehensive value figure.
Cohort Revenue Analysis
PaymentsMetric Definition
Cohort revenue analysis groups customers by the period in which they made their first Stripe payment and tracks the revenue each cohort generates over subsequent months. It reveals how monetisation and retention evolve for different acquisition vintages.
Average Revenue Per Transaction
PaymentsMetric Definition
Avg Revenue Per Transaction = Total Revenue / Number of Successful Transactions
Average revenue per transaction measures the mean monetary value of each successful payment processed through Stripe. It reflects pricing effectiveness and purchase behaviour across your customer base.
