Transactions represent the total number of successful payment or purchase activities that took place within a specific platform that the business uses.
It encompasses all completed transactions and captures essential details such as the transaction amount, currency, payment method utilized, and transaction status.
By tracking transactions, businesses can get granular insights into their revenue generation, customer behavior, and payment processes.
To calculate the transactions metric, you need to simply count the number of successful transactions within the defined time period you’re interested in.
The formula is straightforward:
Transactions = Total number of successful payment or purchase activities
