Customer Satisfaction Score

Customer satisfaction score, or CSAT, measures how satisfied someone was with a specific experience: one question, “how satisfied were you with X,” answered on a short scale.

Updated August 18, 2026

Why CSAT matters

It’s precise where NPS is general: tied to one order, one delivery, one support ticket, so a bad score points at a specific, fixable thing.

Where stores measure CSAT

  • After delivery, on the order experience
  • After support conversations
  • After returns and exchanges
  • At milestones in subscriptions and services

Questions

CSAT vs NPS: which should a store run?

Both, for different questions: CSAT grades individual experiences; NPS gauges the overall relationship. CSAT finds the broken step, NPS tells you the mood.

What’s a good CSAT response rate?

Whatever a short, well-timed, one-tap survey earns from your list; long forms and late asks are what crater it. Watch the trend, and treat silence as data too.
