How to Stop Losing Shoppers During Check out
65% of the customers just add goods to the shopping cart and never finish their purchases, Why???
From a recent survey conducted, it was observed that there are several reasons why shoppers do not finish checkout.
Some of the reasons are...Extra cost added at the end, Forceful account creation, inability to see the complete cost at the end, complicated checkout procedures and more.
These points completely define the difficulties the customers face while checkout. In an era where customers choose different online platforms for shopping, they might feel frustrated when they have to open an account in all the platforms, before purchase. The added cost at the end when the customer's check out the product makes them more confused and so on.
Here are some of the ways for the online businesses to improve their shopping cart:
Who doesn't demand beauty in all the things? Making the shopping cart beautiful and user-friendly must be the primary objective of the marketer. More than half of the customers put the products in the cart to check the total price during checkout. Think, whether the customers won't be happy if they see the same cost they expect during the checkout? It is always good to add all the miscellaneous cost to the product, apart from adding at the end.
And, it's completely ridiculous to ask the customers to register to the online platform to see the total cost, it may tend them to close the shopping cart and search for other shopping sites.
Let the customers get the complete details of the products they are buying. Show all the miscellaneous cost of the product separately, for all the customers to get a comprehensive idea of the product and the price range. This will bring trust to your brand and it's always a plus that customers always consider their trusted brand while all the purchases.
From the studies conducted, it is observed that people love a user-friendly choice. The account with the guest login option had more customers and checkouts. Never force the customers to imperatively register in the shopping platform to buy the product. If they like to check out as a guest, give them that option as well. Buyers would be happy if the checkout procedures are simple and their mobile numbers can be used by the marketers to send the offers and promotional messages to the customers.
Another difficulty buyers face is the variation of delivery charges in the different locations. The local addresses have larger delivery charges than the metro regions. Thus, when the buyers select their location, they become disappointed to see the high delivery charges. Thus, properly maintaining a constant delivery charge to the particular locations will give the customers a proper idea of the product cost and will not tend them to drive back from the cart.
The customers would be really happy to see the minimized price from their total price after discounts in the checkout session. Giving them shock at the end when they take their credit or debit cards to pay the bill will make them extra happier.
The customers may sometimes miss the goods that are needed with the product they are buying. In the end, before checkout, showing the customers the complementary products can tend them to buy that product too. This can enable more purchases and improve total sales.
Always provide the best deals to your shoppers and special discount prices for the first time customers. At the checkout page, when the shoppers find the column for applying the coupon code, they feel like they are missing out a big discount deal. Thus, this tends them to close the cart and check out the websites and mail to find the coupon code. At this point, they encounter another bigger deal in a different platform and never come back to your cart.
The coupon codes can be made reachable to the customers through social media, which will favour them to check your site. Or a scroll down button with the coupon codes of the existing deals can be specified for making it easier for the shoppers. On the other hand, smaller boxes for the coupon codes can be set, which is not visible to the customers quickly. The customers with the coupon codes may anyway spot out the deal.
The shoppers will feel uneasy to provide the complete details for signing up. Try to design the website, which makes their experience much easier. Asking for details like date of birth, and for the shipping address at the beginning will make them agitated. Try to be as simple as possible and collect the details.
From a survey conducted by Forbes, in 2017 September, it is noted that 49% of the people enter their full name in place of the first name and often notice the second name option afterwards. Thus, it makes the thing clear that two separate column for the name is not a big deal.
Checkout can be the most critical step in the whole customer journey, which is why you need to pay notice to it and update it consistently.
Working on the checkout process, marketers must remember to make it as seamless as possible. This includes the elimination of the unnecessary fields and breaking the questions into blocks, being open and honest about the price of the product and all complementary offers.

Cost after adding to the Shopping Cart
Who doesn't demand beauty in all the things? Making the shopping cart beautiful and user-friendly must be the primary objective of the marketer.

Describe the Cost of Product
Let the customers get the complete details of the products they are buying. Show all the miscellaneous cost of the product separately, for all the customers to get a comprehensive idea of the product and the price range. This will bring trust to your brand and it's always a plus that customers always consider their trusted brand while all the purchases.
No Mandatory Account Creation

Display delivery charges correctly depending on location
Another difficulty buyers face is the variation of delivery charges in the different locations. The local addresses have larger delivery charges than the metro regions. Thus, when the buyers select their location, they become disappointed to see the high delivery charges. Thus, properly maintaining a constant delivery charge to the particular locations will give the customers a proper idea of the product cost and will not tend them to drive back from the cart.
Show discounts on the Checkout page

Remind about the complementary products

Give Customers the Best Deal

Never ask for too much information
The shoppers will feel uneasy to provide the complete details for signing up. Try to design the website, which makes their experience much easier.
