The conversion rate of your store is a percentage based on how many visitors you have visit your store and actually make a purchase. You could have a 1000 visitors a day to your store, but if your conversion rate is only 10% then only 100 actually made a purchase. This is a good number to watch when you have specials going on, have recently made changes to your store, or have used new advertising. If this number increases then you know that the specials, changes to the store, or the new advertising is effective and working. Follow the steps below to check the conversion percentage of your store.
