Top 5 Cart Abandonment Solutions for Shopify

Global cart abandonment rates are around 90%. Although a significant issue for eCommerce stores, it is also an opportunity to generate more sales and bring back many of the shoppers who've abandoned their carts.

Once a visitor leaves items behind, it doesn't necessarily mean your sale is lost - a gentle reminder can direct those shoppers straight back to their carts. This is a crucial part of the Sales funnel - with large marketing budgets spent on driving website traffic, when a prospect leaves the site, eCommerce stores must repeat the process and spend those marketing resources all over again.

Wouldn't it be better if your conversion rates were higher in the first place?
