\n \"What <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”38px”][vc_column_text]In e-commerce, a conversion typically occurs when a website visitor adds a product to the cart or completes a purchase.

\n \"What <\/div>\n<\/div>[vc_empty_space height=”38px”][vc_column_text]Now, the average e-commerce site conversion rate for 2020<\/a> was 2.63% in the US alone, while the global one stands at 4.31%. That being said, this conversion rate can differ slightly depending on the location, the device it was measured on<\/strong> (desktop, mobile, etc.), and even conversion type<\/strong> (product conversion, add to cart, etc.). Also, your conversion rate will depend on your specific industry and the niche<\/strong> you are selling products in.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]For a complete picture, we also suggest looking into things such as cart abandonment rate<\/a>, checkout abandonment rate (when a customer leaves the site at checkout, without completing the purchase), as well as bounce and exit rates (the former is when a visitor leaves after checking out just one page, while the latter is when they leave after viewing more pages on your site). All these categories can affect your overall conversion rate, and you should inspect them all to find if any one of these areas is causing trouble (is more problematic than others).[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]In order to check out the conversion rate of your own store and compare it to the global conversion rate, you can always use the help of Google Analytics<\/a>. And, in case you\u2019re using WooCommerce<\/a> to power your online store, there\u2019s even a WooCommerce integration called WooCommerce Google Analytics<\/a>. By combining this extension with Google Analytics, you will be able to analyze your data in detail to find what sections of your store you should improve for the best possible results.[\/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”28px”][vc_column_text]As for some of the e-commerce-related conversion metrics you should check out when using Google Analytics, we suggest that you look into Shopping Behavior Analysis (to analyze the number of sessions that were either continued and abandoned in detail), Checkout Behavior Analysis (to analyze the number of users who have completed the checkout process), and Product Performance.
