##  What is Conversion Rate?

Conversion rate is a key performance metric that measures the percentage of visitors who complete a desired action. For creators selling [digital products](/glossary/digital-product), this typically refers to the percentage of visitors who make a purchase.

## How to Calculate Conversion Rate

```
Conversion Rate = (Number of Conversions / Total Visitors) × 100
```

**Example**: If your product page received 1,000 visitors and 50 people made a purchase:

```
Conversion Rate = (50 / 1,000) × 100 = 5%
```

## What Counts as a Conversion?

Depending on your goals, a conversion could be:
