Cancellation Rate

"Cancellation Rate" measures the ratio of orders cancelled by a merchant to all the approved orders during the evaluation period. 

Metric Calculation

The system starts calculating the metric for the first time, when there are at least 100 orders during an evaluation period. If there are not enough orders, the metric will get the N/A (not available) status. 

Once the metric has been calculated for the first time, it will be calculated continuously even if there are not enough orders in the next evaluation period. 

Evaluation Period

The evaluation period covers two weeks: starting from the 24th day and ending 10 days before the current date.

Cancellation Rate Statuses

There are four statuses for Cancellation Rate: Perfect, Average, Poor and Critical. Please read the article "Merchant Performance System" for more details. 

You can check the metric's status on the "Performance" page in your Joom account.
