The 6 metrics every store should track

Chat conversion rate

Sessions that ended in a purchase ÷ total sessions. The single most important chat KPI.

Revenue per session

Average revenue attributed to sessions where the AI responded. Tracks direct commercial impact.

Deflection rate

Support questions answered without human escalation. High deflection = lower support cost.

Sentiment breakdown

Positive vs. negative vs. neutral session tone. A rising negative trend signals a catalog or policy problem.

Top out-of-stock queries

Which products customers ask for that you don't have. Direct signal for restocking decisions.

Drop-off point

Where in the conversation shoppers stop responding. Identifies friction in the AI's flow.
