Formula
Checkout Conversion Rate = (Completed Orders / Checkout Starts) × 100
Checkout conversion rate measures what share of initiated checkouts turn into completed orders. It is useful because it isolates the final purchase step and helps you spot friction that would be hidden inside broader site conversion metrics.
How to use this calculator
- 1Enter the number of checkout starts, initiated checkouts, or purchase attempts.
- 2Enter the number of completed orders from that same checkout cohort.
- 3The calculator divides completed orders by checkout starts and converts the result into a percentage.
What this metric tells you
A higher checkout conversion rate usually means the final purchase flow is clear, trustworthy, and low-friction.
A lower rate can point to shipping surprises, payment issues, trust gaps, mobile UX friction, or checkout complexity.
This metric is especially useful alongside AOV and overall site conversion rate so you can separate cart problems from earlier funnel problems.
Common use cases
- Checking how efficiently checkout starters complete purchase.
- Comparing checkout performance before and after pricing, shipping, or UX changes.
- Finding whether conversion loss is happening during the final purchase step.

Is this the same as cart conversion rate?+
Teams define those terms slightly differently, so the important part is being consistent about whether your denominator is cart adds, checkout starts, or another step.
Why can checkout conversion rate fall suddenly?+
Common causes include shipping-cost shock, payment failures, mobile form friction, trust issues, promo-code behavior, or technical errors.
What should I review with this metric?+
Review it with overall conversion rate, AOV, device mix, abandonment data, and any checkout-step diagnostics you already track.
