The percentage of checkouts where a promotional code was applied out of the total number of checkouts.
Why it is important
The percentage of checkouts where a promotional code was applied out of the total number of checkouts is valuable for evaluating the impact of promotions.
This metric helps businesses gauge the success of promotional efforts and make data-driven decisions for future campaigns.
Formula
(Number of checkouts with promo code) / (Total number of checkouts) * 100
Calculation example
If there are 40 checkouts where a promotional code was applied, and the total number of checkouts is 100, the share of checkouts with a promo code would be (40 / 100) * 100 = 40%.
