How to use this

Break-even ROAS is your average order value divided by the margin left after product, shipping, and fees. Below it, every sale loses money; above it, you’re profitable on the first order.

Brands with strong repeat purchase rates can sometimes accept a lower first-order ROAS, because email and repeat orders make up the difference. That’s a decision to make with real retention data, not a guess.
