Frequently asked questions

What does the Cart abandonment rate calculator actually compute?

It takes Carts created and Purchases completed and derives Abandonment rate from them. The calculation is live as you type, so the result updates on every change.

What information do I need to provide?

2 values: Carts created and Purchases completed. Nothing else is required — no account, no file upload.

Can you show a worked example?

With Carts created = 1,000 and Purchases completed = 300, the calculator returns Abandonment rate = 70%. Those figures come from running this exact tool, so you can reproduce them by entering the same values.

When would I actually use this?

Before and after a campaign: turning a target into a daily budget, comparing two channels on the same basis, and deciding whether the return justifies continuing.

What is the most common mistake?

Judging ROAS without subtracting the cost of goods. A 3× return on ad spend is a loss whenever the margin is under a third — the ratio says nothing about profit on its own.

What is the difference between the Cart abandonment rate calculator and the Lead-to-customer rate calculator?

This one returns Abandonment rate; the Lead-to-customer rate calculator returns Lead-to-customer rate. That is the whole difference — open the one whose figure you need.

Is there a tool for the next step?

Product return rate calculator is the closest one after this: Compute the return rate of your products from items returned and sold.

What else is worth having open alongside it?

Bounce rate calculator and Click-to-open rate (CTOR) calculator — they come up in the same task often enough to be worth a second tab.

Where do the figures come from, and how current are they?

The formulas are the industry-standard ones every ad platform uses; the inputs come from your own reporting. Platforms differ in attribution window and in what counts as a conversion, so figures rarely reconcile exactly between them.
