  • Description
    The percentage of initiated carts that were abandoned without completing a purchase, indicating the effectiveness of the checkout process.
  • Why it is important
    Monitoring this rate provides insights into the percentage of initiated carts that were abandoned without completing a purchase.

    Businesses can use this information to identify friction points in the checkout journey and implement strategies to reduce cart abandonment, ultimately improving conversion rates.
  • Formula
    (Number of abandoned carts) / (Number of initiated carts) * 100
  • Calculation example
    If 200 users initiate the cart and only 120 complete the purchase, the cart abandonment rate would be (200 - 120) / 200 * 100 = 40%.
