Add to Carts	1,347	Items added to cart
VC to ATC Rate	16.0%	1,347 ÷ 8,420 × 100

How It Works

This rate is calculated by dividing total add to cart events by total view content events, then multiplying by 100. It measures how effectively your product pages convert browsers into shoppers with purchase intent.
