Description
The percentage of total users who have successfully completed the activation process relative to the total user base.
Why it is important
Tracking the Activation Rate is essential for e-commerce stores as it provides a clear measure of the effectiveness of onboarding processes and user engagement strategies.
A high Activation Rate indicates a successful conversion of users into active participants, while a low rate may suggest areas for improvement in the onboarding experience.

Formula
(Activated Users / Total Users) * 100
Calculation example
Suppose E-commerce Store Y has a total user base of 10,000 users. In a given month the number of users who successfully completed the activation process (created an account or performed an initial login) is 2,500.
Activation Rate = (Activated Users / Total Users) * 100
Activation Rate = (2,500 / 10,000) * 100
Activation Rate = 25%
Activation Rate = (Activated Users / Total Users) * 100
Activation Rate = (2,500 / 10,000) * 100
Activation Rate = 25%
