Checkout Completion Rate measures the percentage of users who completes an order once they start their checkout experience.
In the Shopify ecosystem, the checkout experience starts when a user lands on a url containing "/checkouts/". Our system fires a corresponding Checkout Started event.

Understanding where a user dropped off during the checkout process and having visibility into the properties of the basket will help you make better decisions in how you design your abandon cart strategy and provide the metrics for AB testing.
For our agency, we take a full-stack growth team + full-funnel execution approach to growth. We have the resources and skillsets to impact top of the funnel metric, Cost per Click, and bottom of the funnel metric, conversion rate. In our experience, conversion rate optimization is a critical component of managing down CAC as we scale spend.
