Metrics glossary

Learn the definition of metrics across Constructor products

Metrics that break purchases and revenue down by source, such as purchases from a specific search term, browse page or recommendations pod, rely on Constructor's attribution model. Each sale is credited to the last source the shopper interacted with before adding the item to their cart, looking back up to 30 days. Learn more about attribution here.
