Being a successful online merchant on CDON means focusing on customer satisfaction and performance. CDON has established key performance indicators (KPIs) to help guide merchants toward success. These metrics act as a guide to help ensure timely deliveries, accurate product descriptions, and quick responses to customer inquiries.
Why Performance Targets Are Important:
- Keeps Customers Happy: Timely deliveries, accurate product descriptions, and excellent customer service build trust with your customers.
- Creates Repeat Business: Happy customers are more likely to become repeat customers, which is essential for long-term success.
- Boosts Your Visibility: High performance can increase your product visibility on the marketplace, which can lead to more sales.

- Issue Rate: The combined rate of missing items, complaints, and customer regret. The target is 5%.
- Missing Rate: The rate of missing items, with a target of 2%.
- Complaint Rate: The rate of customer complaints, with a target of 2%.
- Regret Rate: The rate at which customers change their minds. The target is 1%.
- Customer Satisfaction Score (CSS): A measure of customer happiness, with a target of 85% or higher.
- Unfulfillment Rate: The rate of order cancellations, with a target of 1%.
Tracking and Improving Performance:
You can track your performance using the Merchant Analytics in the CDON Merchant Center. Regularly monitoring these metrics can help you spot and fix issues before they become bigger problems. Using this data to adjust your strategies can help you improve your store's performance and increase sales.
If performance doesn't improve, CDON may take action, such as applying additional fees or, in severe cases, temporarily suspending the account. By being proactive and regularly reviewing your performance, you can avoid these issues and ensure long-term success on the marketplace.
