Get subscription contract analytics and revenue metrics
Retrieves comprehensive analytics for a specific subscription contract, including total revenue generated, number of successful orders, and formatted revenue display. This endpoint provides key performance metrics for understanding the financial impact of individual subscriptions.
Full behavior, validation rules, and side effects
What This Endpoint Returns: Financial and operational analytics for a single subscription contract, calculated from all successful billing attempts throughout the subscription’s lifetime. Unlike realtime contract queries, this provides historical aggregated data.
Metrics Included:
Revenue Metrics:
- totalOrderAmount: Total revenue in decimal format (e.g., 299.95)
- totalOrderRevenue: Formatted currency string (e.g., “$299.95”)
- Calculated from all SUCCESS status billing attempts
- Includes taxes, shipping, and discounts
- Does NOT include failed or pending payments
Order Count:
- totalOrders: Count of successful billing attempts
- Represents number of orders generated by subscription
- Does NOT include failed billing attempts
- Starts at 0 for brand new subscriptions
Currency Formatting:
- Uses shop’s configured money_format
- Respects shop’s currency code (USD, EUR, GBP, etc.)
- Handles currency symbols and decimal places correctly
- Falls back to USD if currency unknown
Calculation Logic:
Data Source:
SELECT
COUNT(*) as totalOrders,
SUM(order_amount) as totalOrderAmount
FROM subscription_billing_attempt
WHERE shop = ?
AND contract_id = ?
AND status = 'SUCCESS'
What Gets Counted:
- ✅ Initial subscription order
- ✅ All successful recurring orders
- ✅ Manual billing attempts that succeeded
- ✅ Retry attempts that eventually succeeded
- ❌ Failed payment attempts
- ❌ Skipped billing cycles
- ❌ Cancelled/voided orders
- ❌ Pending/in-progress billing

- Show “X orders delivered” stats
- Celebrate subscription milestones
- Build customer loyalty through transparency
4. Reporting & Analytics:
- Build subscription revenue dashboards
- Generate customer value reports
- Track subscription health metrics
- Forecast future revenue
5. Business Intelligence:
- Segment customers by subscription value

"totalOrderRevenue": "€1.199,76"
}
Integration Examples:
Customer Portal - Loyalty Display:
const analytics = await fetch(
`/api/external/v2/subscription-contract-details/analytics/${contractId}`,
{ headers: { 'X-API-Key': 'your-key' } }
).then(r => r.json());
const loyaltyMessage = `
<div class="loyalty-badge">
<h3>Thank you for your loyalty!</h3>
<p>You've received ${analytics.totalOrders} orders</p>
<p>Total value: ${analytics.totalOrderRevenue}</p>
</div>
`;
Revenue Dashboard:
// Fetch analytics for multiple subscriptions
const contractIds = [123, 456, 789];
const analyticsPromises = contractIds.map(id =>
getContractAnalytics(id)
);
const allAnalytics = await Promise.all(analyticsPromises);
const totalRevenue = allAnalytics.reduce(
(sum, a) => sum + a.totalOrderAmount, 0
);
console.log(`Total subscription revenue: $${totalRevenue.toFixed(2)}`);
Important Considerations:
Data Accuracy:
- Based on Appstle’s billing attempt records
- May differ slightly from Shopify order totals
- Includes only what Appstle successfully billed
- Updated after each billing attempt completes
Currency Handling:
- Formatting uses shop’s money_format setting
- Different shops may have different decimal separators
- Currency symbol placement varies by locale
- Always use totalOrderAmount for calculations
Performance:
- Fast database aggregation query
- Typical response time: 100-300ms
- Indexed by shop and contract ID
- Suitable for real-time display
Best Practices:
- Use for Display: Use totalOrderRevenue for customer-facing display
- Calculate with Amount: Use totalOrderAmount for mathematical operations
- Cache Strategically: Cache for dashboards, fetch real-time for critical displays
- Handle Zero: Gracefully handle new subscriptions with 0 orders
- Validate Contract: Ensure contract exists before querying analytics
Limitations:
What’s NOT Included:
- Future projected revenue
- Failed payment attempt counts
- Refunds or chargebacks
- Pending/processing orders
- Orders from other subscriptions
Related Calculations:
Average Order Value:
const aov = analytics.totalOrderAmount / analytics.totalOrders;
console.log(`Average order value: $${aov.toFixed(2)}`);
Customer Lifetime Value (projected):
const monthsActive = calculateMonthsActive(contract.createdAt);
const monthlyRevenue = analytics.totalOrderAmount / monthsActive;
const projectedLTV = monthlyRevenue * 12; // Annual LTV
Authentication: Requires valid X-API-Key header
