EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
E-Commerce cart abandonment
One of the most important way to increase sale is eliminating cart abandonment by providing a simple
checkout process and being upfront with your customers about fees and security concerns.
KNOW THE REASON
How does cart abandonment happen?
What does it entail?
Cart abandonment occurs when a website visitor leaves their shopping cart without checking out after visiting a website. Did you know that the average customer leaves their shopping cart with just over $50 worth of goods?
- Customers may be waiting to complete their purchase and make payment before leaving the site
- Customers may have decided not to purchase anything at all (which means they’re not abandoning their carts); or
- There can be further explanations for this behavior.
Why are people abandoning their shopping carts?
- Distraction – Customers need to pay more attention to the checkout process because they’ve been distracted by other things, like their phone or email inboxes.
- Security concerns – Some people worry that if they leave their cart unattended, it will be stolen from them or compromised in some way. They also don’t want someone else to see their credit card information while purchasing online.
BOOST CONVERSATION
What can you do to boost your shopping cart conversions and sales?
For example, a customer may type “shoes” into the search box when you show up with shoes for sale on your site. They’ll probably click “shoes” because it is the most common word associated with what they’re looking for (and because there aren’t many other options).
But if autocomplete only showed shoes and nothing else, customers wouldn’t know what else was available!

Offer a guest checkout option
If you have a shop with multiple products, offering a guest checkout option can be helpful. This allows customers who have yet to create an account on your site or purchase a single item to complete their purchase in one click.
The benefit of this approach is that you don’t need to set up any sort of password or login functionality on the front end. All they need is their name and email address to check out without creating an account for themselves.
If users want more information about your product before purchasing it. For example, if they’re browsing around looking at different products. They may also be interested in using this feature as well.
The only downside here is that some shoppers might think they’re doing something wrong if they cannot create an account right away after entering credit card details into one field (which is only sometimes true).
Use autocomplete to speed up data entry
You can use autocomplete to speed up data entry. Autocomplete is a feature of many online shops that allows customers to complete their orders by entering the first few letters of a product name.
When you enable autocomplete, it automatically suggests other products based on what customers have already entered into the shopping cart.
Customers will find it simpler to explore and buy quickly on your website. It increases conversion rates by reducing abandonment rates. (the percentage of visitors who leave after entering their checkout information.)
To see if this feature works for your eCommerce site or not, try testing it out with paid ads.
Remove distracting elements from the page
Once you’ve removed any unnecessary elements from the checkout page, it’s time to focus on something else: eliminating distractions.
There are numerous methods you may use. First and foremost, users can only complete a purchase if other elements focus on them. This means everything related to purchasing should be kept as simple as possible. If possible, remove anything that isn’t related to completing an order so users don’t get lost while trying to figure out what they need!
Another thing worth keeping in mind is how long people tend to spend looking at each page of your checkout process before they click through. The average length here varies depending on where people shop online. We recommend keeping things short at around five seconds or less, so there aren’t any unnecessary delays between clicks.”
Be honest about delivery costs
While you’re getting your customers to buy, it’s essential to ensure they’re aware of the delivery cost. You can charge a fee if the customer wants to collect their item in person. Or if they decide to send it back for any other reason.
