How to calculate checkout conversion rate
Why checkout conversion rate matters for Shopify users
Checkout is where purchase intent meets execution. A low checkout conversion rate signals payment friction, unexpected costs, or trust issues that cause buyers to abandon at the last moment.
Shopify merchants can compare checkout conversion across payment methods, shipping options, and device types to pinpoint the most impactful improvements.
