Learn how to calculate revenue per recipient (RPR) and understand how each of your marketing channels is performing. RPR helps you to determine the success of a campaign or flow and is a great way to review individual channel performance and opportunities for growth.

Before you begin

Before you begin

Ensure that your Klaviyo account is integrated with an ecommerce platform and that you have sent a campaign or flow so that you have data to generate RPR. You can also use a custom placed order metric to determine revenue per recipient as long as that metric uses $value as a property.

We recommend that you have at least a month’s worth of campaigns to get an accurate baseline portrait of RPR.
