What is Cart abandonment?

Cart abandonment is when a shopper adds items to their cart but leaves without completing the purchase.

The leading causes are consistent and mostly fixable: unexpected shipping cost revealed late, forced account creation, a long or awkward mobile form, and payment failure.

Before investing in recovery emails or messages, fix the checkout itself. Preventing abandonment is considerably cheaper than recovering it.
