The percentage of visitors who pleced the order and successfully complete the payment for their order, reflecting the conversion efficiency of the payment process.
Why it is important
Calculating the Conversion to Order Payment reflects the conversion efficiency of the payment process and helps businesses optimize payment flows and reduce payment drop-offs. This metric enables businesses to identify payment-related challenges, improve payment gateway performance, and enhance customer experience to increase payment completion rates.
By tracking the conversion to order payment, businesses can streamline payment processes, minimize payment failures, and maximize revenue capture by facilitating smooth transactions and improving payment gateway efficiency.
Formula
