Abandoned Cart | A shopping cart (or web form) in which there is no further activity to complete the order after 40 minutes. |
Abandonment Rate |
A high abandonment rate may indicate high friction in your web store's checkout process. However, since the average cart abandonment rate is between 60% to 80%, merchants should realize that abandoning shopping carts is now a normal way that consumers shop online. The abandonment rate is calculated as the number of abandoned carts divided by all cart sessions within a given time period, expressed as a percentage. |
