Checkout Conversion Rate
The percentage of shoppers who start checkout and successfully complete the purchase.
Full Definition
Checkout conversion rate is a sub-metric of overall conversion rate, isolating just the checkout flow performance. Calculated as completed orders ÷ checkout starts. Furniture e-commerce checkout conversion is typically 50-70%, with friction points around delivery date selection, financing applications, and large-form-factor shipping calculations.
Brands offering buy-now-pay-later see meaningful lifts (5-15 points) in checkout completion.
Why It Matters for Furniture Brands
Cart-to-checkout-start optimization is one problem; checkout-start-to-completion is a completely different one. A site can have great PDP conversion and still lose 30-50% of revenue to checkout friction. Auditing checkout flow is a higher-ROI investment than acquiring more traffic for most furniture brands.
