Despite of this increasing percentage in online sales, we also see a rise in shopping cart abandonment rate. Some users are buying while some are just filling the carts and leaving them just like that, resulting in increased cart abandonment.

Reducing Cart Abandonment- The Usual Way

Shopping cart abandonment is becoming an increasingly common topic around. All the ecommerce owners are worried about saving their carts and improving their checkout processes.

Here you go with some of the very common ways with which most website owners control their cart abandonment:

Easy Checkout Process:

Providing an easy login and checkout is one way to encourage people to buy more. Because people get really upset with difficult checkouts and hence leave the site immediately.

Offering Guest Checkout is another best option. As nobody likes complex and long sign up processes just for buying a product.  

Studies show that 25% of the visitors abandon the carts just because of complex check out procedures.  

Low Shipping Costs:

Some sites think they are too smart and they would make the customer pay anything by putting the costs at the end.

But they are fooling themselves without realizing the fact that the customers are not bound… Customers will simply leave the site there and then when seeing a high cost being told at the end.                

So offering free shipping or maybe a very low cost for it, is something you can do in order to grab more customers.            

Variety of Payment Modes:

E-Stores are not realizing the fact that when they are offering online sales, they should focus on the payment methods as well. If you’re wouldn’t let the customer pay, how do you expect the sale to actually occur.

A lot of customers exit because they can’t see the payment option which is suitable for them. And this is one of the very main reasons for high shopping cart abandonment.

You should always strive to give your customers all the payment options you can so they don’t find any room to leave your cart just like that.         

Some main option include PayPal, Google Payments, Amazon Checkout, Visa’s V.me and MasterPass.

Offer a variety of Pictures:

Keeping the customer in a vague state and not showing him the product properly is another foolish mistake the online marketplaces usually make.

We have hundreds of examples where customers roam around pictures and buy after a lot of viewing. Because they need to be satisfied as they can’t see the product live.

So, make sure to provide pictures from every angle, from all dimension and provide thumbnails of the product also.

These are some major elements that you MUST take care of. Other than these factors like social proofs, wishlists, compelling CTA buttons, optimized form fields, and mobile-responsiveness determine the success of your online shopping store.

Now:

It is clear enough that you need to consider the importance of these factors and without these it is surely difficult for you to make your cart convert more.

But…
