Conversion Rate

Definition:

Conversion rate represents the percentage of visitors who complete a purchase after viewing a product or visiting a store. It is a key metric used to evaluate how pricing affects customer buying behavior.

Why It Matters:

  • Helps measure how price changes influence purchase decisions.
  • Provides critical input for price optimization models.
  • Enables merchants to balance price levels with demand.

Example:

A product page receives 1,000 visitors, and 40 customers complete a purchase. The conversion rate is 4%.
