What is Buy Box % (BB Ownership)?

Buy Box Percentage is the share of total page views during which your offer held the Featured Offer position on a product detail page. It is calculated as Buy Box Page Views divided by Total Page Views, multiplied by 100. Sessions only convert when a buyer can click 'Add to Cart' — which requires winning the Buy Box.

Formula
Buy Box % = (Buy Box Page Views / Total Page Views) × 100
Worked Example

Your SKU received 10,000 page views last week. Your offer was the Featured Offer for 8,500 of them. Buy Box % = 8,500 / 10,000 × 100 = 85%. The other 15% of views went to competing third-party offers, suppressing 15% of your potential orders even with identical traffic.
