What is Add-to-cart rate?

Add-to-cart rate is the share of sessions where a shopper put something in the basket. It separates product and price appeal from checkout friction, which shows up later in the funnel.

Worked example

If add-to-carts is 2,400 and sessions is 40,000, then Add-to-cart rate = 6.00%.

Add-to-cart rate = (Add-to-carts ÷ Sessions) × 100

Tactical application guide

Add-to-cart rate links add-to-carts and sessions in a fixed ratio, so any two pin down the third. Planning backwards is where it earns its keep: enter the add-to-carts you have and the Add-to-cart rate you are targeting, and the solver tells you the sessions you must secure. Or lock sessions and Add-to-cart rate from a benchmark to see the add-to-carts that plan implies before you commit.
