What is NFR?
NFR (Non-fulfillment Rate) refers to the percentage of failed orders compared to the total number of orders placed within a certain period of time, and it is a crucial metric in e-commerce, especially on platforms such as Shopee, Lazada, Tiki, etc. The formula to calculate NFR is generally:
NFR = (Cancellation Rate + Return Rate due to Seller's Fault) / Total Orders in 7 Days
For example, if you had 20 orders last week, of which 2 were canceled by you due to cancellation and stockouts, 2 were automatically canceled by the system for exceeding the preparation time, and there was 1 return, then your NFR would be:
NFR = (2 + 2 + 1) / 20 = 25%
Why should sellers on e-commerce platforms care about NFR?
Impact on reputation and store ranking
A high NFR can negatively impact your store's reputation on the e-commerce platform. This can lead to lower search rankings and fewer customers.
Effect on revenue
A high NFR indicates that many orders are not completed, leading to a loss of potential revenue.
Penalties and restrictions from the platform
E-commerce platforms often have penalties for stores with high NFR, including limiting promotional activities or even account suspension.
Customer experience
A high NFR can result in a poor shopping experience for customers, reducing the likelihood of them returning for future purchases.
