Cart Abandonment
When someone adds items to their online shopping cart but leaves the website without buying.
Cart abandonment rates average around 70% across e-commerce. Successful stores simplify checkout (guest option, Apple Pay), show trust badges, and use remarketing ads or emails to recover lost sales.
It's like filling your trolley at the supermarket, then abandoning it near the checkout and walking out.
Real world: A dropshipping store sees 70% of carts abandoned. Common reasons: surprise shipping costs, complicated checkout, or distraction. Sending a 'Hey, your sneakers are still waiting!' email with a small discount can bring many back.
💡 Cart abandonment is normal — fixing the friction in your checkout turns lost shoppers into paying customers.
