Top 3 Reasons Online Shoppers

Abandon Their Carts

Imagine seeing a potential customer in real-time browsing

through your site.

Your hard work on social media & SEO enticed them to

come visit your site,

and after browsing through your products they find the perfect item and place it in

their shopping cart.

But in the end, after getting them so close to a purchase, they change their mind and abandon their cart.

Around 67% of shoppers who place items in carts don’t complete the

checkout process, costing merchants $18 billion per year in lost revenues.

Understanding why people leave your site with a full shopping cart

will allow you to proactively combat this problem and get more

customers through your funnel.
