Sometimes, the customers may browse the store, add a product to the cart, but at the time of check out, they may cancel the transaction and leave the purchase incomplete. This is known as Cart Abandonment.
Shopping cart abandonment is one of the most important concerns for e-commerce retailers. There can be ample reasons for cart abandonment. Though it is impossible to figure out the exact reason, one can try to analyze the behaviour of the abandoned cart users and work upon it to reduce the cart abandonment rate.
Before finding out ways to reduce cart abandonment, it is important to look for the reasons leading to it. In this article, I have listed out the top 5 eCommerce mistakes that lead to shopping cart abandonment.
1. Hidden charges
Generally, the customers are unaware of the hidden charges incorporated by the seller in the products. The hidden charges may include the shipping cost, transaction fees, etc. The introduction of these charges at the transaction page kills the purchasing mood and results in the abandoned carts. Therefore, the seller must be clear about all the charges that are applicable in the product, so that the customer may make up his mind prior to the purchase.
2. Mandatory sign-ups
There is nothing more frustrating than a mandatory sign-up process on the checkout page. People are ready to abandon the cart to avoid filling up a registration form.
Customers want to check out easily. Adding a barrier in the checkout process will only lessen the chances of conversion. To avoid compulsory registrations, come up with a Guest Checkout or provide a social login facility so that the consumers can get rid of form filling without their flow getting disturbed.
3. Tedious Checkout
The checkout page of an e-commerce store is a crucial step towards the purchase journey of a customer. If optimized, it can boost your conversions otherwise you can face a heavy drop-down in the conversion rate.
Try to simplify your checkout page. Have clarity. I would suggest adding a one page checkout facility on your store so that the checkout process becomes convenient for customers.
With the introduction of multiple payment gateways, customers expect to make a payment with their desired payment option, yet many e-commerce stores are stuck with a few payment options only. When customers do not find the desired payment mode, they take an exit from the store and look for the product in some other stores.
Why would you let that happen when a person is all set to make a purchase? Provide multiple payment options so that customers can choose their preferred payment option. Also, do not forget to add the e-wallet facility.
5. Less offers
The primary reason why people prefer to shop online is to get heavy discounts and the offers that the customers can avail on a number of products. The major factor contributing to the growth of the online market is choice availability and the offers that customer receives on a daily basis via Email, or pop-ups. Therefore, most of the time a customer expects to receive some kind of discounts on their purchase. In case, the seller fails to provide them with offers, the customer readily abandons the cart and exit the store.
To persuade your customers with some attractive offers, you can look to add the Spin and Win or the Exit popup on your e-commerce store.

The Abandoned Cart module gives a detailed analysis of the abandoned cart users and allows e-retailers to reach out to those users to persuade them to complete the purchase.
A checkout page has a major hand in eCommerce conversions. Without an optimized checkout page, the chances of a shopping cart abandonment increase significantly.
Cart abandonment happens too often during the checkout process and it can occur for a number of reasons. It won’t be wrong to say that it is a curse on eCommerce. So, how do you prevent this from happening?
Let’s try to understand why visitors abandon the checkout page and find out how you can overcome them with simple tweaks.
1. The hidden cost is a conversion killer
The unexpected hidden cost is one of the major reasons why customers abandon the checkout process. According to the Baymard’s research, extra hidden costs such as shipping charge, tax, transaction fee hold the highest percentage (55%) amongst the reasons for abandonment during checkout. Still, most of the eCommerce stores do not reveal the actual order total up-front before the payment page in the checkout process. E-retailers taking overhead, extra, or hidden costs must reveal the exact product amount in the checkout process itself rather than disappointing the customer later on the payment page. In fact, the best place to reveal the estimated cost of the cart is right after a customer selects the shipping option.
2. Compulsory account creation
The compulsory account creation ranks at the 2nd position in the study done by the Baymard Institute to find out the reasons for shopping cart abandonment during checkout. About 34% of customers leave the checkout process just because the web store asked for compulsory account creation to make a purchase.
When so much of alternative options like social login and guest checkout are easily accessible on the websites, it does not seem a wise idea to offer only the traditional account creation option on the checkout page. As a merchant, you should understand that if not you, a majority of your competitors would already be providing the social login and guest checkout options on their e-commerce platform.
Do not let the shoppers bother about creating an account unless you have a very strong reason to hold them back. Do not compel them to visit your rival’s store for easy checkout. Integrate a guest checkout or a social login option on your checkout page today.
3. Too long/complicated checkout process
The length and complexity of a checkout process make a visitor reluctant to leave the checkout page. To overcome this problem, you can think of implementing a single page checkout on your store. Although there’s no clear conclusion to the debate between one page checkout vs multi-page checkout, I would prefer a one-page checkout over a multi-page checkout. Well, even if you are using the multi-page checkout process, make sure to ask only relevant information so that the consumers can make a quick purchase from your store. Amazon’s checkout process, for example, is a multi-page structure, but still, it’s quite simple and fast. It’s because it doesn’t ask for too many details, just the important ones. The account creation step would ask for your name, email, and your desired password and that’s it, you have an Amazon account.
So, either you are offering a multi-page or single-page checkout, the main aim should be to reduce the number of entries in forms used in the checkout process. Whether it is the account creation form or the billing/shipping address form, customers are never going to like if you thinking to capture more than enough details. You can take a reference regarding the best checkout form designing from “5 things you probably didn’t know about eCommerce checkout”.
4. Unsatisfactory return policy
According to the data collected by Invesp, 30% of the products that are ordered online are returned, which is 21.11 higher as compared to the brick-and-mortar store(8.89%). In the same data, it was found that around 58% of the online shoppers want a hassle-free return policy.
The concerns regarding the product return always revolve around a customer’s head. Ever before they decide to make a purchase, the first thing they confirm is whether the product can be returned easily, if in case it contains some problems.
Your return policy plays a major role in the decision-making process of the consumer. In order to provide satisfactory return policy, you must also have an efficient RMA system that allows you to tweak your return structure.
The return process of your eCommerce store should reflect your return policy well. In simple terms, deliver what you have mentioned in your return policy. If you have a flexible return policy but customers are finding a tough time during the return process, it is going to create a negative impact on your store. You can lose the trust of your customers.
Even today, there are many eCommerce companies that are restricted to a few selected payment modes only, which is surely not a good sign considering the various preferences by consumers to make the payment. When consumers do not find their preferred payment mode on the checkout page, they are left with no option except leaving the purchase incomplete. Do not let this happen to your eCommerce store.
Enable multiple modes of payment on your store and allow your visitors to make their own choice for the payment purpose.
Conclusion
The checkout page is the most important element of the whole conversion funnel. Most of the consumers reaching on the checkout page have the buying intentions at some level. It depends on how well you have structured your checkout page and your return policies to persuade the customers to complete their purchase. To check which step is creating trouble for your store visitors during the checkout, you can try out the Prestashop Checkout page analytics addon.

You would have often visited malls for shopping purpose. What did you look for after picking up your items? I am sure your eyes would have been searching for a short checkout line so that you could make a quick checkout.
Let me tell you my case, I went to a store a few days back, picked up some stuff and when it was time to go to the billing counter, I noticed the line was too long. I waited for a few minutes initially but couldn’t keep the patience for long. I left my items there and took an exit from the store.
In e-commerce, this is what we call as Cart Abandonment and a lengthy checkout process is one of the primary reasons for it. This is exactly what happened in my case too. When I realized the checkout would take a lot of time, I dropped the purchase idea.
This is why a simplified and a user-friendly checkout holds very high importance in the eCommerce space. When users find a checkout process lengthy or time-consuming, they abandon their cart and look for better alternatives.
Getting shoppers to your eCommerce store is not difficult, engaging them till the final payment process without disturbing the user experience, is. The checkout page is the most important part of this whole engagement game.
Through this article, I will enlighten you on how to optimize the checkout process and create a user-friendly checkout.
1. Make Account Registration Optional or at least Offer Social Login
Avoiding compulsory account creation is the primary step towards a user-friendly checkout. Do not compel users to signup when they look almost set to make the payment. Making registration process compulsory at the checkout page mostly results in cart abandonment, which causes high conversion loss.
Let the mandatory sign up process not be a hurdle in a successful conversion. Offer Guest checkout or introduce a Social Login option on the checkout page. This would help users in a quick checkout without hampering the checkout experience.
In many of the eCommerce websites, there is no option to update the product quantity right from the checkout page. Hence, if a customer wants to increase or decrease the product quantity, it leaves them with no choice except discarding their current checkout process, going back to the product page, updating the quantity and filling out the entire details again. This spoils the user experience.
So, make sure that you include the option to update the product quantity on the checkout page. Also, ensure that the back button takes the user to the previous page rather than discarding all their information.
3. Add a One Page Checkout
A one-page checkout also called as a single page checkout is also one of the important elements of a user-friendly checkout. Instead of asking users to navigate through multiple steps to fill the checkout form, make it a single step checkout process. It improves user experience, reduces the chances of cart abandonment and eventually leads to increased conversions.
Our One Page Checkout module incorporates all the checkout fields on a single page and helps merchants to allow a quick checkout facility to their customers. The module offers Guest Checkout, Social Login, Multiple Layout Designs, etc. Most importantly, it supports nearly all the major payment methods and shipping services.
4. Display the errors up-front
Mistakes happen very often while filling out the checkout fields and customers are not aware of it until they hit the submit button. They have to submit again and again until the entered inputs are found to be correct. This can be extremely frustrating and become a major barrier in a user-friendly checkout.
Use Inline Validation to counter this hurdle. It identified the inputs in real-time and displays whether the provided details are correct or not when the user switches from one field to another.
5. Display Checkout Progress
Use a progress bar to indicate at which step the customer is present and how many more steps does he or she need to go through before finally placing their order. It is always a good idea to keep visitors updated about their checkout progress.
Many a time, shoppers leave the purchase incomplete because they get tired of filling out the information when they are not aware of the checkout progress. So, give them a clear idea up-front of the number of steps that are needed to make through the checkout.
6. Provide Real-time Customer Support
Customers can have a lot of queries while they are on the checkout page, especially the new visitors. You never know what’s going through a customer’s mind during the purchase.
To assist them with their queries or help them with any trouble they are facing, provide them with real-time support. Adding a live chat option or customer support number would do a great job.
7. Thank Your Customers for Shopping with Your Brand
Leave a “Thank You” note for your customers as soon as they place their order along with the “Order Successful” message, obviously. This is a good sign to appreciate or thank your customers for showing trust in your brand. It improves customer loyalty.
Knowband provides “Better Thank You Page” module that converts a normal order success page into an effective marketing strategy. With the help of this module, the admin can encourage repeat purchases and improve customer retention by offering discounts to their customers for future purchase. It also encourages cross-selling.
The journey from adding the product to the cart to the payment page needs to be smooth and convenient. Having a user-friendly checkout not only ensures more conversions but also keeps you ahead of your competitors. All that a customer craves for is a smooth checkout experience, provide them that.
If you find the above information helpful or have anything to add for a user-friendly checkout, do let me know in the comments below.

Shopping cart abandonment is a global issue that has been creating problems for online retailers all over the world. Cart abandonment has a huge impact on the sales and conversions of any eCommerce store. Even with the passing time, the problem looms large over the eCommerce platforms.
“The Remarketing report” prepared by the SaleCycle, a behavioral marketing company, shows the graveness of the situation. Here are the important insights regarding the same report.
The report shows the shopping cart abandonment trends across regions and industries.
As per the SaleCycle’s research on 500 leading global brands in the second quarter of the year 2016, the following crucial trends were observed.
The shopping cart abandonment was seen to be different for different regions of the world. While it was 74.0% for North American countries, the figure went a little higher for Latin American countries with 75.3%. Similarly, for European countries, the cart abandonment rates were found to be 70.9% while it was 76.3% for the APAC countries.
The overall cart abandonment rate comprising of all the regions was found to be 74.52%.
Apart from the region, the shopping cart abandonment varied considerably as per the industries involved. The rate of shopping cart abandonment for retail was found to be 74.6%, 80.1% for travel related industry and 68.8% for fashion-specific industries.
For the first quarter of 2018, the global cart abandonment rate was found to be 75.6% across all sectors.
According to another eCommerce report by Statista, a statistics portal company, the shopping cart abandonment is based on a number of factors and problems faced by the online shoppers on an eCommerce store. The list of all the factors that lead to abandoned carts on an online store is explained in the statistical graph as shown below:
Take action against all the factors mentioned in the graph for reducing shopping cart abandonment.
Considering the reasons for shopping cart abandonment and the cart abandonment rate across regions among a wide range of industries, the problem can’t be left ignored at all if a retailer wishes to avoid cart abandonment and improves sales and conversions on their eCommerce store. Here are some of the tips that can help in reducing the shopping cart abandonment on an online store.
1. Reduce overhead expenses on your store
In a competitive business environment, the availability of products at an appealing price is the only thing that can drive conversions and sales in bulk. However, the cost of a product is often increased by the unknown overhead expenses that are present on an eCommerce site.
Some of the common examples of the overhead expenses on an online store are online transaction charges levied by third-party payment gateways, credit card transaction fees, order processing fees, commission amount charged by online marketplaces.
No doubt, it is impossible to run a business on a non-profit basis for any online store but certainly, you can cut down the additional costs in order to avoid cart abandonment. Be precise about the product price. Do not compel your consumers to abandon their cart with hidden charges. Specify your product pricing prominently for grabbing maximum customer engagement and sales.
2. Add Exit-intent popup
Exit popups provide you an excellent opportunity to reduce the cart abandonment rate and maximize conversions. Exit popups work when it is detected that a user is intending to exit the store and presents them a popup containing a deal or an offer.
Let’s say a user is trying to abandon his/her cart and almost ready to take an exit from your store, you can, then, make the user stay by offering them the discount on that product, encouraging them to complete the purchase.
3. Provide Guest checkout
A majority of the consumers bounce back from the store if they are presented a mandatory sign-up during the checkout. This isn’t a great move if you wish to reduce the cart abandonment rate on your store.
Avoid the mandatory sign-up and provide a Guest checkout option to your visitors so that they do not face any hurdle in between their checkout.
4. Establish trust with security badges
When customers provide you their confidential payment details, they put their trust in you. Similarly, you can win their trust by displaying the security badges/logos somewhere on the payment page to give them an assurance that their data is secure.
5. Enhance the functionality of your shopping cart
It is important to have a shopping cart that is capable of performing cart changes in a quick manner. Some of the key features that need to be present in an eCommerce platform for enhancing the functionality of a shopping cart are described below:
It needs to offer large, detailed and functional images of the products.
Easy and quick navigation facility for a better online shopping experience.
Functionality to include product reviews from customers.
Ability to apply discount coupons and gift cards.
E-commerce platform like OpenCart offers a wide range of above-mentioned shopping cart functionalities to improve the online shopping experience of customers. Utilize the functionality of this shopping cart for encouraging more customers towards your online store. Take a dashboard view of the OpenCart platform that allows store owners to perform desired functions on their eCommerce store.
Use an eCommerce platform that can improve the functionality of your online store. Try to enhance the experience of your customers. If you are on standard shopping carts, you may use Shopping Cart extensions and Checkout Extensions, or, you may get the custom implementation for your website.
6. Improve the loading time of your online store
As per the recent report of Hosting Facts, “A single second delay in your website loading time can result in a 7% loss in conversion, and 40% of web users will abandon a website if it takes longer than 3 seconds to load”. This statement itself explains that people are not patient enough when it comes to the website loading time. The average loading time of a website is said to be around 2–3 seconds which can keep the customers engaged, otherwise, the visitor is likely to leave the website.
This is definitely a huge setback for eCommerce store owners as a slow loading website can hurt their conversions and sales. In order to improve the loading time of your eCommerce site, the following site optimization techniques need to be implemented at the earnest level.
Minimize the number of HTTP requests to avoid delay in website loading.
Compress and optimize large size images for your eCommerce site with the help of image and data compression tools/programs like Gzip, JPEG Optimizer, TinyJPG, Caesium, and such others.
Enhance the utility of your CSS files by eliminating browser specific codes and applying shorthand codes.
7. Enhance the website design and accessibility across multiple devices
The global pattern of online shopping has changed drastically with the more number of purchases on an online store made through mobile devices instead of desktops and laptops.
To understand the above scenario, the number of mobile devices (smartphones and tablets) shipped worldwide is estimated to a total of 343.3 million as per the Worldwide Quarterly Mobile Phone Tracker report of International Data Corporation (IDC) for the second quarter of the year 2016. To target such a huge mobile based users, you need to take the required steps to make your website accessible and user-friendly on various devices and screen types. Below are some of the quick fixes that can make your site more accessible and user-friendly.
Use mobile web development technologies like HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript and mobile responsiveness for better site reach and performance.
Enhance the usability of the CTA button on mobile devices by selecting an appropriate size and placement.
Include optimized and reduced page size for mobile content.
If you want to understand the importance of web design in eCommerce, here is the example for you. Take a look at these two mobile designs that provide a complete insight into a good and bad mobile website design and their impact on the conversions of a website. A good mobile website design encourages customers to browse a website whereas a bad mobile website design completely deviates a visitor and results in shopping cart abandonment along with an increase in the bounce rate.
Focus on the design of your mobile website for grabbing maximum conversions and sales from your customers.
8. Make the checkout process simplified
Make your checkout process more simplified by restricting the number of checkout fields.
People prefer to shop online due to the ease of purchasing products, a variety of options available at a place, the option of product delivery at the customer’s premises and much more. However, if this is robbed from online shoppers, it is certainly going to affect the sales of an online store.
An easy and quick checkout process encourage online shoppers to make a product purchase through a particular eCommerce site. So, ignoring it would be the biggest mistake for any eCommerce store owner.
To improve the checkout process, you need to provide accurate product status, one page checkout process, quick cart customization facility, availability of contact details, easy product return requests, social login facility, the addition of security and trust badges and other such perks to customers.
Here is a checkout page of the website Art.com that simplifies the online shopping experience of the customers by providing various features and functionalities.
Offer a simplified checkout process to your customers for improving conversion rates and sales.
9. Bring back abandoned carts through customer re-targeting
Email Marketing can take your business to a long way by encouraging customers to complete their pending shopping orders and can provide you promising results in terms of conversions. These emails are also an important tool for customer re-targeting provided they are engaging, sent at a regular interval of time and provide customers enough reasons to complete their pending shopping orders. E-Commerce store owners need to schedule reminder emails to customers at a regular interval of time in order to remind them about their abandoned shopping carts. They can take the help of email marketing software like MailChimp, ConstantContact, GetResponse, AWeber, etc. that can provide contact details of customers for better customer re-targeting.
10. Offer products at an affordable price
Drive more revenue to your store by pricing your products more effectively. When the competition is too high in a particular business segment, it makes sense to present your products in the most competent manner. You need to have a clear idea about the price of your competitors and should reprice your products accordingly. Once, the customers find your products as most affordable, they will love to buy from your online store irrespective of the competitors available in the market, providing you are not compromising with the quality.
In case, you wish to involve customers directly in the pricing strategies, there are certain eCommerce Extensions that can help customers make a wish about their product price. Make an offer that they can’t resist. In this way, eCommerce store owners can directly know about the interested price segment of their targeted customers.
11. Add multiple payment and shipping options
Include multiple payment and shipping options on your eCommerce store for improved checkout experience.
At the final checkout process, numerous online shoppers leave the site when they are unable to find their required payment and shipping options. This is a serious issue and has reduced the conversion rates and sales on various online stores to a significant level.
To overcome this critical situation, store owners need to offer multiple payment and shipping options to reduce the rate of eCommerce abandoned carts. Make a list of the popular payment and shipping options by taking insight from the customer surveys and include them in your online store. Some of the well-known payment methods are PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Google Checkout, Wire Transfer, SagePay, Boleto. Similarly, you need to include these shipping options such as USPS, DHL, FedEx, USPS to improve the online shopping experience of your store visitors.
12. Use Web Push Notifications
Web Push Notifications is the latest approach followed by online businesses to target the users abandoning their cart. With the help of web push notifications, you can send the abandoned cart notifications to the users not completing their purchase and remind them about the items pending in the cart.
There are many more ways to avoid the cart abandonment on an e-commerce store, however, you will find the above-mentioned methods as the right approach. Take the proactive steps now and perform some major makeover of your eCommerce site to reduce abandoned carts. It’s difficult to get the customers to your website in the first place, and then seeing them leave without buying is even more painful. The best time to act on Abandoned Carts is now, do not miss it.
The growth and expansion of any business be it offline or online depends mainly on the conversions. In the case of eCommerce stores, the conversions are usually referred to as product sales achieved. Agree, every store owner can’t succeed in terms of making bumper sales but it is a fact that every eCommerce store owner has a strong urge about making a significant increase in his/her store sales.
If you are not lucky enough in increasing the sales of your online stores, it is time to start looking for an effective remedy. A low performing eCommerce site in terms of product sales is not of much use and is actually more of a burden if the operational cost of the store is too high. This blog is certainly a big relief for those sales deprived eCommerce store owners who are looking to escape out of the long continuous sales dud. We have figured out some ways and came up with 9 effective tips to improve sales on your eCommerce store.
1. Provide exciting offers and deals to your customers

2. Offer multiple payment and shipping methods
Don’t be adamant while offering payment and shipping options to your customers but try to be more flexible. You need to make a survey among your customers for including the popular payment and shipping options on your online store for ensuring a comfortable online shopping experience. The presence of only selected payment and shopping options also results in higher shopping cart abandonment and bounce rates.
3. Provide easy navigation around your site
Customers nowadays are very choosy when it comes to a product purchase. They want to look out for a number of products before actually going for the final purchase. In order to offer easy navigation around your eCommerce website, you can take the help of a productive heatmap and A/B testing tool like MockingFish that can improve the customer engagement on a site to a great extent.

Once, your customers are aware of the urgency and limited availability of your shopping offers, they will be much more eager to purchase from your online store. Store owners can convey this message to their targeted customers in the form of appealing CTA buttons and CTA texts for grabbing higher conversion rates and sales.

8. Use popups effectively
Popups are a great way of attracting customers and capturing more sales, but they do not work as easy as it seems. Designing a good popup that could bring conversions requires your time, efforts and most importantly creativity. Pop-ups bring results only if they have been made in such a way that doesn’t unnecessarily irk a user. In fact, e-retailers today, are using pop-ups to engage users in some kind of fun activity, before actually asking for their email address.
Do not kill the interest of your visitors by making the sign-up process on your store mandatory. In this way, you are only restricting a visitor from making a purchase.
Offer Guest Checkout to your visitors or enable social login options. Guest checkout is very helpful for users who do not want to get themselves registered on your platform while the social login option allows visitors to avoid the long registration process by asking them to login with their social accounts.
Conclusion
Do not consider the low sales as the fate of your eCommerce store. Make the required corrections with the help of the above-mentioned informative tips. If you are able to make the changes within the stipulated time, you can effortlessly grab more conversions and sales for your eCommerce store.
