Why do customers abandon their online shopping carts? Time to research!

Check listOnline shops spend big bucks to attract new customers. Meanwhile, according to cart abandonment rate statistics, on average 68% of e-shop customers abandon their carts before checking out.

This practically means that more than a half of your clients might be leaving your shops before the purchase is completed and you don’t even know why!

Do you want to increase the number of successful transactions? Find out why some of your customers abandon their shopping carts and start preventing it! Online surveys will be perfect for that.

The reasons for cart abandonment may include:

  • costly shipping
  • unexpected costs
  • lack of purchase readiness
  • better offer from competitors
  • the clients only wanted to compare prices
  • the client was just browsing
  • the client wasn’t willing to register
  • the product price was too high
  • the sales process was too complicated
  • website navigation was too complicated

It’s possible that some of these reasons apply to your business. Remember that each of them requires a different strategy and improvement plan.

Customers who don’t have enough money to complete the transaction at the moment can be offered and installment plan or the possibility to postpone the payment. In the case of visitors who only browse through products, try keeping in touch with them even once they leave your website – this will increase the chance they’ll come back and purchase next time. A research will let you decide, whether you should adjust your website (if the navigation is too complicated or clients are reluctant to register) or maybe rather rethink your price policy (if your customers keep choosing competitive offers).
