French term or phrase: taux de mise au panier
Website sales analytics. Can't seem to get Google to spit out a term in English. I don't think its "conversion rate" because that means that the online sale goes ahead, which is not necessarily the case when the cart is filled (many people just fill the cart to find out how much delivery is going to cost them). Any suggestions will be more than welcome. Thanks!

Cart Initiation Rate
Explanation:
Just throwing it out there... Although this is not usually a rate from what I've seen as it's just a number (i.e. carts initiated) unless in this case you are using carts initiated as a fraction of some other number, like total visitors...

Yep, it seems like add-to-cart rate might be less obscure. :)

ADD-TO-CART/BASKET RATE is my preferred answer, although "conversion to cart/basket rate" is frequently used but is rather confusing as so many types of "conversion" exist. Thanks to Daniel and Daryo.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Thanks Daniel ;-) I get 2,760 hits on Google for "add-to-cart rate", against 7 for your first solution. On UK websites, I've noticed that they more readily use "shopping bag" or "shopping basket". So I'll be going for "add-to-basket rate", ultimately. Waiting to see if I get any more answers.

conversion rate to [shopping] cart / basket conversion rate


Explanation:
Run comprehensive testing program to continuously improve average order value, conversion rate to cart or basket conversion rate. For example, a recent landing page test resulted in 30% increase in cart conversion rate.

possibly

"shopping cart conversion rate" which is used BUT but the meaning seems unclear it could also mean
"converting a full shopping cart to a finalised sale" instead of "converting viewing a product page into filling the cart"
https://www.google.co.uk/search?q="shopping cart conversion ...

any "conversion rate" is measured between two steps;
nothing to say that the second step must be "buying"

you find all sort of rates, like a "conversion rate to checkout" [which is probably slightly bigger than the "conversion rate to paying /finalising the purchase] etc.

there is also a "negative conversion rate" for people who fill their shopping cart and then just drop it ( taux de rebond / bounce rate en anglais)

Notes to answerer
Asker: I have done research on "conversion rate" and on most websites it appears to mean that the add-to-cart is converted into a sale.


Peer comments on this answer (and responses from the answerer)
agree  Didier Fourcot: "basket" does properly specify the rate, and this cannot be confused with "purchase conversion rate" or "click conversion rate"
