How to Solve Shopping Cart Abandonment?
Cart abandonment has no single fix because it has multiple causes. The highest-impact starting points: show shipping costs before the checkout page, offer guest checkout alongside account creation, reduce the number of form fields at the payment step, and set up a 3-email recovery sequence timed at 1 hour, 24 hours, and 72 hours after abandonment. Addressing unexpected costs and forced account creation alone typically reduces abandonment by 15 to 25%.
