Break-even ROAS depends on margin, not on a platform benchmark. Put in your numbers.
Break-even ROAS = average order value / (average order value x margin after product, shipping and fees).
The same loop runs differently in the United States, the Gulf and Pakistan. The checkout, the language and the channels change in each, so the plan does too.

It runs the channels and the store together: ads, creative, email and SMS, SEO and conversion work, measured on revenue and margin. The best ones can also change the store, because many ad problems are really product page or checkout problems.
It depends on your margin. Break-even ROAS is 1 divided by your contribution margin after product, shipping and fees. A store with a 40% margin breaks even at 2.5, so a 3.0 ROAS is profitable there but not for a store with a 25% margin.
Enough to replace fatigued ads before performance drops, which for most stores means new concepts every week. Meta rewards genuinely different creative, so vary the hook, format and angle, not just the color.
Yes. We build and migrate Shopify and Shopify Plus stores, including stores with booking and registration, and B2B ordering portals.
It depends on the store, the channels and the ad spend. See our engagement models and pricing, or book a call.
