Repeat Purchase Rate: Complete Guide & Shopify Benchmarks

Rivo · rivo.io Free Intermediate

Repeat purchase rate is the single number that tells you whether a loyalty program is worth building at all, and this piece gives you Shopify-wide benchmarks to sanity-check your own number against. Treat the exact benchmark figures as directional - they shift by vertical and season.

  • Most ecommerce stores see roughly 20-30% of customers become repeat purchasers - use as a directional benchmark, not gospel.
  • Repeat purchase rate = repeat customers / total customers x 100.
  • Segment repeat purchase rate by loyalty-member status to see if your program is actually moving the number.
