We learn about how to calculate contribution margin for eCommerce businesses. First we organize our income statement into a contribution margin-focused view, and then we look at all of our ecommerce profit margins per unit (unit economics).
Most businesses are optimizing the ratio of contribution margin: CAC, which effectively tells you whether you can make money or not.

Questions? Let me know in the comments.
Could you do an exercise on SAAS please? It is unclear what would be the equivalent of "fulfillment costs". Would it make sense to look at the evolution of contribution margin per annual cohort to see how profitable customers become over time? Thanks
