Understanding Metrics (CTR, Conversions, Revenue)

3 min read

This guide explains Notifal analytics numbers in plain language. Open the dashboard first: On-Page Analytics Dashboard.

Engagement metrics (Pro)

MetricWhat it countsPlain meaning
ImpressionsNotification displayed on screenHow many times people saw it
ClicksClicks on tracked links and buttonsHow many times people acted on it
ClosesClose button or dismiss actions recordedHow many times people closed it
DismissesUser-initiated dismissals (subset of closes)Intentional "go away" actions

CTR (Click-Through Rate): Clicks ÷ Impressions. Example: 50 clicks from 1,000 impressions = 5% CTR. Higher CTR usually means the message and button are compelling.

Conversion metrics (WooCommerce)

MetricWhat it means
ConversionsPurchases linked to a notification click within the attribution window
Conversion rateConversions ÷ Clicks (when Pro shows full funnels)
RevenueMoney from products the visitor clicked in the notification before buying
Influenced revenueOrder total when the visitor clicked any tracked part of the notification, not only a product link
Influenced ordersNumber of orders credited to notification influence

Revenue vs influenced revenue:

  • Revenue ties closely to a specific product click in the toast
  • Influenced revenue is broader: the visitor engaged with the notification, then purchased (even from another product)

Both help you see if notifications drive sales.

Order status and pending orders

Influenced orders may show paid and pending counts. By default, processing and completed WooCommerce statuses count as paid. See Attribution Window and Conversion Settings.

Unique users (Pro)

Estimated distinct visitors who saw or clicked notifications in the date range. Useful for reach, not just raw impression counts.

Growth rates (Pro)

Compares the current date range to the previous period of the same length. Positive growth on clicks or revenue means your notifications are performing better than last week or last month.

What free users see

Free installs still see revenue and influenced order metrics. Impressions, clicks, CTR, and charts require Pro. See Enhanced Analytics (Pro).
