Shopping Cart Abandonments – Onsite
The annual loss due to online shopping cart abandonment in Germany is between 500 million and one billion euros. Since shopping cart abandonments often determine the success or failure of an online shop, online merchants use onsite and offsite solutions to minimise them. The e-book “Minimize Cart Abandonments, grow Revenue: Onsite Solutions” takes an a closer look at how to minimise cart abandonment in online shops.
Preventive Reduction of Shopping Cart Abandonment
The cornerstone to achieving a low abandonment rate is user experience design (UX design). A structure of an online shop which is intuitive and easy to understand through the UX design ideally corresponds to the expectations of the visitors. Intuition and expectations are not fixed patterns, however, but are subject to constant change. Optimisation with regard to UX must therefore be understood as a never-ending process.
