Analyze Your Repeat Purchase Rate and Best Customers with AI

See what share of your customers come back, and exactly who your best buyers are.

Difficulty Beginner

Time ~5 min

Tools rest_api, run_wp_cli

Prerequisites

A connected WooCommerce store with order history.

The prompt

Analyze my WooCommerce store's repeat purchase rate and best customers. This is read-only, do not change any orders.

Count only real sales (orders with status [completed and processing]). Group orders by customer email and give me:
1. My total paying customers, how many bought more than once, and my repeat-purchase rate as a percentage.
2. My top [20] customers ranked by lifetime spend, each with their order count and total spent.
3. A short read of what the numbers mean and the one retention action you would try first.

Pull the figures from my live order data and show me the exact counts so I can sanity-check them against my WooCommerce reports.

Skip the copy-paste. Just ask your AI for the “Analyze Your Repeat Purchase Rate and Best Customers with AI” recipe, or describe the task, and WPVibe runs these steps on your own site.

You can read today’s revenue off the WooCommerce dashboard in a second, but the number that actually predicts your store’s future is buried: how many customers come back. Repeat buyers cost nothing to acquire and spend more over their lifetime, yet most owners never separate them from one-time shoppers, and never learn which handful of customers really carry the store. Digging it out of the orders screen by hand means exporting CSVs and wrestling a spreadsheet, so it rarely gets done.

Ask your AI assistant and WPVibe reads your order history straight from WooCommerce, groups every order by customer, and works out the numbers that matter: your repeat-purchase rate, meaning the share of customers who bought more than once, and a ranked list of your best customers by lifetime spend. It only reads your data and never touches an order, and it runs off the live store so the figures are current rather than a stale export.

Paste the prompt and tell it which order statuses count as a real sale, usually completed and processing rather than cancelled or refunded. Ask for the repeat rate plus your top customers so you finish with names you can act on: a win-back email to lapsed repeat buyers, or a thank-you to your biggest spenders. Re-run it once a month and watch whether that repeat rate is climbing.

Outcome

A current repeat-purchase rate for your store plus a ranked list of your highest-spending customers, computed from live order data without changing anything.
