What Is CPA (Cost Per Acquisition)?

CPA, or Cost Per Acquisition, is a key marketing metric that measures how much you spend (on average) to acquire one paying customer or desired conversion. It helps marketers monitor the efficiency of their campaigns and assess whether customer acquisition is profitable.

How the Dropship CPA Calculator Works

Our CPA calculator uses three inputs:

  • Average CPC (Cost Per Click): The average amount you pay for each click in your ad campaigns

  • Site Conversion Rate: The percentage of clicks that convert into sales or leads

  • Target Acquisition Cost: The benchmark cost per customer you aim for

Based on these, the calculator computes your Calculated Acquisition Cost.
If the result is less than or equal to your target CPA, it falls in the “safe zone” (blue). If it exceeds your target, it shows as red — meaning your current metrics are too expensive.

This visual feedback helps you quickly identify whether your CPC or conversion rate needs adjustment.
