#2 Build Trust and Credibility During Checkout

After checking out fear, distrust on the eCommerce website is the most common reason for shopping cart abandonment.

 

Tell your customers how you care about products while shipping, shipping period, tracking, and other details regarding shipment.

 

Provide trust badges showing the information is 100% secured.
Also, at each point of your website, tell your customers about the quality of the products, guide them on how to choose the best products, and what to do if customers aren’t satisfied with the products.

 

Question yourself and provide the best solutions on your website.
These are the few considerations ensuring trust and credibility on your website. Hence, reducing shopping cart abandonment.

#3 Simplify Your Checkout Process

Make the customer buying process easier just by simplifying the checkout process. Do not make check-out process complexes that frustrate the customers. Make it simple that end in two or three steps.

 

It’s noticed that most customers lose interest in buying products when there are complex check-out processes. So, make sure to make it sweet and simple in just a few steps.

#4 Give Shoppers Multiple Payment Options

It’s important to ensure comfort and convenience for customers with the online payment options. If customers find fewer payment options that take a long time to pay, then they leave their cart.

 

So make sure to provide multiple payment options for the shoppers. This makes shoppers buying easier and more comfortable. Finally, it results in less shopping cart abandonment.

#5  Free or Reduced Shipping Costs

Who would not love the word free? Free shipping, Buy 1 Get 1 free, 50% off, 70% off, and free delivery are some of my favourite sentences. Each time I see them, I make a purchase instantly.

 

If you want to engage customers with your site and hook them to make instantaneous purchases, then free shipping is the best tool. Now, reducing shopping cart abandonment looks easier. Right?

#6 Re-engage With InactivitySensor™️ Popups

With millions of online stores and choices around the customers, it’s no surprise to forget about things easily.

 

How many times have you forgotten your meeting timings? Most probably several times. But there is a Google Calendar for you to send meeting notifications and re-engage yourself.

 

Similarly, you need an OptinMonster’s InactivitySensor^TM to trigger pop-ups about the products in the cart. This re-engages the customers ensuring successful purchasers.

#7 Personalize Your Messaging

Have you ever visited a website with frustrating pop-ups? How do you feel? You feel irritated and want to have no pop-ups on your website. Isn’t it?

 

But this is one of the biggest mistakes that most site owners commit.

 

The problem isn’t with the pop-ups but with the usage of pop-ups. If you use pop-ups to send personalized messages and campaigns to your customers, they are a great sales booster.

 

So, never miss out on this opportunity to attract customers. Send personalized messages that hook the customer and show urgency.
