Customer Value Report
The Customer Value Report breaks revenue down by first charges, upsells, rebills, and lifetime value across any segment of your business — products, prices, currencies, dates, or attribution channels.
Use it to compare cohort performance across products or campaigns, monitor AOV and LTV, or feed the same numbers into your own tools via the API.
Open the report
In the Odus Dashboard, navigate to Insights → Customer value. The page shows a summary chart of headline metrics and a detailed table below.
Date range and timezone
The date range selector controls the cohort window. Switch between UTC and your merchant timezone to align daily boundaries with your business hours. The merchant timezone is configured in Settings → Merchant Configuration; if unset, the report falls back to UTC.
The date filter applies to each customer's first charge, not to every payment. A customer is included if their first charge falls inside the window — all of their later upsells and rebills are then attributed to that cohort, regardless of when those later payments occurred. See How the cohort is defined below.
Grouping
Use the Group by tabs to organize rows by product, price, currency, calendar day, UTM source, or UTM campaign. Switching grouping updates the chart and table immediately.
Metrics
| Metric | Definition |
|---|---|
| FC Quantity | Number of first charges in the cohort. |
| FC Amount | Total revenue from first charges. |
| FC AOV | FC Amount / FC Quantity. |
| Upsells Quantity | Number of upsell transactions made by cohort customers. |
| Upsells Amount | Total upsell revenue. |
| Upsells AOV | Upsells Amount / Upsells Quantity. |
| Total AOV | (FC Amount + Upsells Amount) / FC Quantity. |
| Rebills Quantity | Number of subscription renewal charges by cohort customers. |
| Rebills Amount | Total rebill revenue. |
| LTV | (FC Amount + Upsells Amount + Rebills Amount) / FC Quantity. |
The Total row aggregates the cohort across all groups. The summary chart shows FC AOV, Upsells AOV, Total AOV, and LTV for the full cohort.
All monetary metrics are converted to your display currency (set in Settings → Merchant Configuration) using the exchange rate effective at the time of each payment, so historical totals remain stable.
How the cohort is defined
The cohort is built by anchoring each customer to their first charge. A customer enters the report when that first charge falls inside the selected window; once in, every later upsell and rebill they make is counted, even past the window's end date.
Consequences:
- Shrinking the end date does not remove upsell or rebill revenue for customers already in the cohort — only the time available for that revenue to accumulate changes.
- A customer whose first charge predates the start date is excluded entirely, even if they paid during the window.
This anchoring is what makes LTV comparable across periods.
First-charge eligibility
The first charge is the earliest payment attempt the customer has ever made, across any product. Eligible payment outcomes:
- Succeeded
- Reversed (fully refunded)
- Partially reversed
- Uncaptured (authorized but not captured)
- Chargeback
- Cancelled (voided authorization)
Failed and declined payments are ignored and never anchor a cohort.
Cancelled first charges
A cancelled payment anchors the cohort but is not counted as a real first charge. Anchoring exists only to prevent a later upsell from being misclassified as the customer's first product when their true first attempt was voided.
For a customer whose first charge was cancelled:
- They do not contribute to
FC Quantity,FC Amount,FC AOV,Total AOV, orLTV. - Their later upsell and rebill payments are still counted normally.
- They will not appear under the product or price row of any later upsell, because the cancelled payment correctly anchors them to their original product.
Upsells vs. rebills
After the first charge, every later non-cancelled payment is classified as exactly one of:
- Rebill — settles a recurring subscription invoice (scheduled renewal).
- Upsell — any other post-FC payment (one-time purchases, order bumps, manual charges).
Cancelled post-FC payments are excluded from both totals.
Multi-item carts
When grouped by Product or Price, a payment whose cart contains multiple line items is split across rows proportionally to each line item's share of the payment amount. This keeps row totals consistent with the cohort total. The other groupings assign each payment to exactly one row.
Example
Suppose the report's date range is 2026-06-01 → 2026-06-30 and five customers interact with the Pro Plan ($50/mo):
| Customer | First-ever charge | Later activity (any date) | In cohort? |
|---|---|---|---|
| Alice | 2026-06-03 — $50 (paid) | 2026-06-10 upsell $20; 2026-07-03 rebill $50 | Yes — counts as FC |
| Bob | 2026-06-15 — $50 (paid) | none | Yes — counts as FC |
| Carol | 2026-06-20 — $50 (paid) | 2026-06-25 upsell $40; 2026-07-20 rebill $50; 2026-08-20 rebill $50 | Yes — counts as FC |
| Dave | 2026-05-28 — $50 (paid) | 2026-06-12 rebill $50 | No — first charge predates the window |
| Erin | 2026-06-08 — $50 (cancelled / voided) | 2026-06-09 upsell $30; 2026-07-05 rebill $50 | Yes (anchored only) — see below |
Erin's first-ever charge was authorized but cancelled before capture. The cancelled payment anchors her cohort (so her later $30 upsell is still classified as an upsell, not as a first charge), but it does not count as a real FC — she contributes $0 to FC metrics. Her later upsell and rebill are counted normally.
Grouped by Product → Pro Plan, the cohort row is:
| FC Quantity | FC Amount | FC AOV | Upsells Qty | Upsells Amount | Upsells AOV | Total AOV | Rebills Qty | Rebills Amount | LTV |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | $150 | $50 | 3 | $90 | $30 | $80 | 4 | $200 | ~$147 |
How each number is derived:
- FC Quantity = 3 — Alice, Bob, Carol. Dave is excluded entirely; Erin's cancelled FC does not count.
- FC AOV = $50 —
$150 / 3. - Upsells Quantity = 3 — Alice's $20 + Carol's $40 + Erin's $30. Erin's upsell counts even though her FC didn't.
- Upsells AOV = $30 —
$90 / 3 upsells. - Rebills Quantity = 4 — Alice's July rebill, Carol's July and August rebills, Erin's July rebill. Dave's June rebill is excluded with him.
- Total AOV = $80 —
($150 FC + $90 upsells) / 3 cohort customers. - LTV ≈ $146.67 —
($150 + $90 + $200) / 3.

API access
The same data is available via GET /reports/customer-value. The endpoint supports all grouping options, metric selection, date filters, and status exclusions documented in the API reference.
Example
GET /reports/customer-value?groupBy=product.name&createdAt[gte]=2026-01-01T00:00:00Z&createdAt[lte]=2026-01-31T23:59:59Z
The response contains a data array (one entry per group) and a total object with the cohort aggregate.
