3 ways to avoid checkout friction and reduce cart abandonment

• Improve your checkout process. Shopping online can often be time consuming and difficult. On average, it takes a customer two minutes and 28 seconds and 21 clicks to check out online.¹ A lengthy experience can cause them to get frustrated and abandon their shopping cart.
• Offer customers’ preferred payment methods. Consumers are looking for their preferred payment methods at checkout. In fact, one in five global digital consumers has abandoned their shopping cart due to their preferred payment method not being offered.²
• Protect customers’ payment information. Security should also be top of mind as it is key to retaining customers. 65% of consumers say they would not shop with a given merchant again if their personal data were breached³ and 59% of consumers say they require a personal data protection guarantee to consider buying from a merchant.³
   

According to a PYMNTS report, $97.8 billion in sales was put at risk due to checkout friction in 2019.⁴ In a world of highly optimized experiences, consumers expect checkout to be friction-free. For merchants, failure to deliver an optimized experience can result in missed sales and reputational damage that can discourage customer loyalty.
