Improve Conversions Overview
The Improve Conversions dashboard provides a series of visuals to help you understand how your storefront is performing and where drop-off occurs.

The top row of charts on Improve Conversions give a high level view of how your most important site KPIs are performing relative to the previous date period. Ideally, all three of these metrics should be as high as possible:
-
Total Sessions: A session is a group of user interactions with your website that take place within a given time frame (a visit). A single session can contain multiple page views, events, and transactions. This figure plots all sessions over the time period.
-
Conversion Rate: This is the percentage of users that visit your store who make a purchase in the specified time period.
-
Revenue Per Session: Also referred to as Revenue Per Visit, it is the amount of money generated each time a customer visits your site. It is calculated by dividing the total revenue by the total number of sessions on your site.

Clicking the icon at the top right of the Channel Comparison will switch the view to show the growth or decline for the selected metric across channels:
