Use for "what's our repeat rate", "do customers come back", "which campaign brings customers who buy again", "what's our customer lifetime value", "how long until the second order", "do discounted customers stick around", "are our cohorts getting worse", or "how much revenue comes from repeat customers" — even when the user never says "retention" or "cohort". Use when the decision is where acquisition money goes, or when retention email timing needs a number. Shopify only.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Shopify Customer Retention and LTV

**Tells you which campaign and which first offer bought customers who came back — at a granularity
Shopify's cohort report stops short of, on a window that makes cohorts of different ages actually
comparable.**

Shopify ships cohort analysis and RFM segmentation natively, and they are good: you can already filter
a cohort by sales channel, marketing channel and first product bought. Three things it will not do,
and they are the three that change a decision. It does not cut by **UTM campaign, medium or term**, so
"paid social retains badly" never becomes "this campaign retains badly". It does not know whether the
first order used a **discount code**, which is the most assumed and least measured thing in
ecommerce. And it will not **cross** those cuts, which is where selection bias gets caught.

Then there is the discipline. Every retention number is a trap: repeat rate depends entirely on a
window nobody states, a lifetime-spend column silently mixes cohorts that have had five years to buy
with ones that have had five weeks, and a cohort table read down the wrong axis makes a healthy store
look like it is dying every single month.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add coupler-io/skills/shopify-customer-retention-and-ltv@sha256:6515989d74c7e766

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
