Do individual milestones and subscription renewals count as repeat business?

[charlsmcfarlane]

If I offer a milestones order or subscriptions order and the buyer accepts it, will it count as one order on the "Repeat buyers" metric or as repeat business? The buyer can opt out of the deal at any stage, and decide not to continue, so each milestone or subscription renewal is a new purchase. I just want to know if it is counted as such.

Thanks

I vaguely recall seeing a detailed discussion on the forum about 'milestones' and I believe it will NOT count because repeat business metric primarily considers individual orders from returning buyers to calculate the score. And, a milestone order primarily would count as a single order. 

Theoretically, a subscription should contribute towards the repeat business score but I doubt if they have connected these two silos.
