aCommerce Poll Results – What is the reason that makes you abandon an online shopping cart?
The number of customers leaving e-commerce sites after adding an item to their cart is at an all-time high.
To help brands gain more insights and understand this phenomenon better, we asked our followers: what is the reason that makes you abandon an online shopping cart?
54% answered high additional costs
Over half of the respondents agreed that unexpected costs added when putting an item in the cart can drive them away from the site.
19% answered complicated checkout process
Every added step slows customers down and makes it more difficult for them to complete the order, leading them to abandon the cart.
14% answered forced account creation
Forcing users to create an account to check out can turn some customers away, as it makes the shopping experience less seamless.
13% answered lack of payment methods
Customers like to use their preferred payment method when shopping online, and some choose not to complete the payment due to the lack of available options.
