Scanning through any material regarding eCommerce or business in general, you always come upon specific terms that keep repeating themselves. There’ll be talking about profit margins, input, and output, revenue, etc. Very often, you will find the word “conversions,” the final step in the process of selling a product and arguably, the most important one.
