Shopping Cart Abandoners in 3 Dimensions
The loss due to online shopping cart abandonments is between 500 million and one billion euros throughout Germany. Around 70% of visitors of a website abandon the shopping cart without placing an order. However, online merchants do not have to simply accept this. In order to minimise shopping cart abandonment, tools are needed that analyse the individual shopping cart abandoners and win them back.
Multilayered Influences Require a Multidimensional View
A simple one-dimensional view towards shopping cart abandonment is far from sufficient at this point, as many different influences have an effect on a shopping cart abandonment. Rather, it requires a multi-dimensional view to analyse attitudes/motives, customer characteristics and, last but not least, the situational factor. Only when these factors are included in the analysis online merchants are able to successfully win back shopping cart abandoners.
3 Dimensions that influence Shopping Cart Abandonment

Attitudes or motives include all the reasons for cart abandonment that are obvious at first glance:

- Duration of the session
