Quick Answer
Shopify revenue path breaks from six places: feed errors disqualifying inventory, attribution misread crediting wrong channels, bid strategy optimizing wrong metric, checkout friction losing completed sales, email capture failure missing remarketing opportunities, and product page architecture suppressing add-to-cart.
The six leaks
1. Feed disapprovals suppressing paid traffic. 2. Attribution model mismatch producing wrong ROAS checks. 3. Bid strategy optimizing transaction value not margin. 4. Checkout completion below 80 percent. 5. Email capture below 5 percent of visitors. 6. ATC rate below 3 percent on product pages.
