Like all industries, eCommerce comes with tons of acronyms, buzzwords, and industry jargon that can leave even an eComm veteran looking to Google for help. From CAC to ROAS, 0P Data and NPS, navigating the ecommerce landscape can feel like deciphering complex code. Do not fret. Most of the time they’re just fancy acronyms given to simple concepts.
We’ve put together this deep dive guide on every eCommerce acronym or buzzword under the sun.
Let’s dive in!
0P Data is information voluntarily shared by individuals directly with a company, providing valuable insights into their preferences, interests, and intentions. Post purchase surveys are a great way to get this data.
1P Data is information collected directly by a company from its own sources, such as its website or mobile app, enabling the company to better understand its own customers' behavior and preferences. An example of 1P data is data collected from your website, such as page views, session duration, bounce rates, and conversion rates. It provides insights into user behavior, navigation patterns, and the effectiveness of your website.
2P Data is another company's first-party data that is shared with another organization, allowing for targeted marketing and insights into a different customer base. Facebook data from Ads Manager is an example of this data for an eCommerce business. The data is Facebook’s first-party data, and when it is shared with you it becomes your second-party data.
A 301 Redirect is a method used in web development to permanently redirect one URL to another, helping maintain search engine rankings and ensuring users are directed to the correct webpage.

The best eCommerce companies rigorously A/B test their ads and website.

Studies by Amazon show a 5.6% increase in conversion from A+ content.
Above the Fold refers to the content on a web page that is immediately visible to users without scrolling. It is the portion of the page that appears on the screen when the page loads, and it is crucial for capturing users' attention and conveying important information before they take further action. The term comes from newspapers that would fold in half and the important content of a newspaper would appear ‘above the fold’.
ADA compliance refers to conforming to the standards set by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) to ensure that digital content, such as websites and applications, are accessible to individuals with disabilities.

Advantage+ shopping campaigns are offered by Meta (Facebook) and leverage machine learning to help you reach audiences with greater efficiency.

The repeat rate is highly dependent on how aggressively you are acquiring new customers, whereas a Cohort Analysis is a truer picture of how customers are spending with your business.
