Description
The percentage of users who actively engage with the app or website relative to the total user base.
Why it is important
Tracking the User Engagement Rate is crucial for e-commerce stores as it provides insights into the effectiveness of your app or website in retaining and involving users. A high engagement rate indicates a positive user experience and may suggest that your content, features, or promotions are resonating well.

This metric helps in making informed decisions about optimizing user experience, content strategy, and marketing efforts to enhance overall user satisfaction and retention.
Formula
(Active Users / Total Users) * 100
Calculation example
Let's say you have an e-commerce app, and in a given period, you have a total of 10,000 users (Total Users). Out of these, 6,000 users actively engaged with your app during the same period (Active Users).

User Engagement Rate = (Active Users / Total Users) × 100
User Engagement Rate = (6,000 / 10,000) × 100 = 60%
