How does this query handle guest checkouts?
Unlike basic queries that drop rows without a `customer_id`, this script uses `COALESCE(customer_id::text, email)` to group unauthenticated guest checkouts by their email address, ensuring accurate retention and LTV metrics.
Why subtract taxes and shipping from total_price?
Shopify’s `total_price` is a gross metric. If you base your LTV on gross revenue, your marketing teams will overbid on ads. Subtracting `total_tax` and `total_shipping` gives you the true Net Revenue LTV.
