Hi Marco,
You have to create a custom list button for this with the name as Convert.
To know how to create a custom list please follow this link

Thanks for your reply!

So I'm at the point where I can add a custom button, but my issue is, what type of "code" do I need to add there that has the same function as the "Convert" button on the detail page.

I can pick URL. Which I don't think is right.
I can pick On-Click Javascript. Is that the correct one?
I can can pick Visual Force Page. Should I add some visual force code first and then request it from the button?

Thanks

Hi Marco,
you can choose any of the options and need to do the coding to make it work. 
but for your best use case to replicate Convert of lead, yes go with on click javascript and call an apex class from there.
if this helps please can you mark this as best answer for future reference. Thanks

Settings for social accounts and contactpersons

Hi Macro,

To convert a Lead, the User(I mean his or her own Profile) needs all these Permissions:
  • “Create” and “Edit” on leads, accounts, contacts, and opportunities AND
  • “Convert Leads” AND
  • “Read” on any related campaigns
You'll need to verify that.

Also, verify that the button is on the page layout they are seeing (from Setup, not from their actual screen). If the button is there but they don't see it when they look at the Lead:

Edit their profile and make sure the "Convert Leads" permission under General User Permissions is checked.

You can check the convert leads permission info from the below help document.

if you need any assistanse, Please let me know!!


Kindly mark my solution as the best answer if it helps you.

Thanks

Hi Mukesh,

Thie issue is not that they cannot convert it.
The issue is that I would like to have a button in the listview. Not in the detail page.

Thanks

HI Marco,
There is no standard functionality provided by salesforce to have the convert button on lead that mass converts the leads from the list view.

You will need to write custom code for this conversion functionality and call it via the custom button.
