| **What it measures** | COUNT(orders WHERE total\_discounts\_tax\_incl > 0) / COUNT(paid-state orders) over window. |
| **Format**           | `percent`                                                                                   |

## Calculation

```
COUNT(orders WHERE total_discounts_tax_incl > 0) / COUNT(paid-state orders) over window.
```

PrestaShop order classification uses the order-state machine: paid = `current_state` in (2 Payment accepted, 3 Processing, 4 Shipped, 5 Delivered, 9 Backorder paid, 11 Remote payment accepted); shipped/fulfilled = (4, 5); refunded = (7, 15); cancelled = (6); payment error = (8). Read live from the PrestaShop Webservice API and snapshotted nightly into the Nerve Centre KPI store.
