Refer a fellow business and get a flat 10% discount
Every online store owner has felt this frustration: a customer browses, adds products to the cart, heads to checkout… and then disappears. This is called cart abandonment, and on average, nearly 7 out of 10 online shoppers never complete their purchase.
The good news? With the right strategies, you can reduce cart abandonment and turn those almost-buyers into loyal customers. Let’s explore why it happens and how to fix it.
Before you solve the problem, you need to understand it. The most common reasons include:
Unexpected shipping costs
Complicated checkout process
Mandatory account creation
Limited payment methods
Concerns about site security
Slow website performance
Each of these barriers creates friction and that makes people leave.
Every extra step means more chances to lose the customer. Offer a guest checkout option, minimize form fields, and keep it clean.
Nothing frustrates shoppers more than surprise shipping fees. Show taxes, delivery charges, and discounts upfront to build trust.
From credit cards to wallets like PayPal or UPI, give shoppers the flexibility to pay how they prefer.
Show SSL certificates, trusted logos, and secure payment icons. A secure site reassures hesitant buyers.
A clunky mobile checkout = abandoned carts. Ensure your store loads fast and adapts beautifully to smaller screens.
Sometimes, all it takes is a reminder. Automate abandoned cart recovery emails with product images, urgency, or even a small discount to bring them back.
Catch leaving shoppers before they click away by offering limited-time discounts or free shipping in a popup.
