# MRR

### How we get these data

MRR data is gathered from Shopify API App Events to support real-time financial tracking and strategic decision-making.

### Understand the dashboard

MRR (Monthly Recurring Revenue) is the total projected monthly revenue from all users with an active paying status (Active Subscription).

* MRR is activated immediately when the user agrees to pay.
* MRR is deducted immediately when the user cancels the plan (to Free or Uninstall/Frozen).

**Note:**

* For Annual Plans: Usually divided by 12 to convert to monthly value.
* Includes One-time charges or Usage charges.
* This is projected revenue under the ideal scenario that all paying users will use the app until the end of the billing cycle.
