While e-commerce stores can specialize on many different niche markets and product types, there are some universal rules that can be applied for most online shopping environments.<\/p>\n<p>According to a report \u2013 based on the responses of more than 1000 online customers between the age of 18-65 \u2013 there are <strong>7 main reasons for cart abandonment<\/strong> (from the most to least frequent):<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Unexpected shipping cost<\/li>\n<li>Having to create a new user account<\/li>\n<li>Was conducting research to buy later<\/li>\n<li>Concerns about payment security<\/li>\n<li>Long and confusing checkout<\/li>\n<li>Couldn\u2019t find a coupon code<\/li>\n<li>No express shipping available<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>While #3 can be deemed as a normal customer behaviour, the rest implies existing user experience problems.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/reduce-cart-abandonment-checkout-ux\/checkout-survey-answers.jpg\" width=\"700\" height=\"337\" alt=\"VWO Cart Abandonment Report 2016\"><figcaption class=\"entry-image-caption\">IMAGE: VWO Cart Abandonment Report 2016<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>Understand Customer Psychology<\/h2>\n<p>To set up a successful checkout process with low cart abandonment rates, it\u2019s important to understand how your audience \"works\", as in the <strong>psychology behind their behavior<\/strong>. Stanford University\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/behaviordesign.stanford.edu\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Persuasive Tech Lab<\/a> recommends a <a href=\"https:\/\/behaviordesign.stanford.edu\/resources\/paper-behavior-model-for-user-design.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">specific behaviour model<\/a> that makes it possible to design core processes \u2013 such as the checkout process \u2013 in a way that increases conversions.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/behaviormodel.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Fogg Behavior Model<\/a> claims that user behavior depends on 3 key elements: <strong>motivation<\/strong>, <strong>ability<\/strong>, and <strong>trigger<\/strong>. When a desired behavior doesn\u2019t happen, it\u2019s because at least one of these elements is missing.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/reduce-cart-abandonment-checkout-ux\/fogg-behavior-model.jpg\" width=\"512\" height=\"384\" alt=\"Fogg Behavior Model\"><figcaption class=\"entry-image-caption\">IMAGE: Behaviormodel.org<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>To solve these pain points of your customers, it is a good strategy to figure out <strong>which psychological element is lacking<\/strong>. For instance, when your users don\u2019t understand how their shipping cost is calculated, they lose their motivation but you can gain that back by <strong>increasing their ability to get quick information about shipping costs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, in real life the analysis is way more complicated, but it\u2019s always useful to approach user experience issues, such as cart abandonment, <strong>from a psychological aspect<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h2>Reduce Interaction Cost<\/h2>\n<p>In order to keep your customers motivated, one of the most important things you need to do is to <strong>reduce the interaction cost<\/strong>, which is <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nngroup.com\/articles\/interaction-cost-definition\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">defined by the Nielsen Norman Group<\/a> like so.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><em>\u201cThe interaction cost is the sum of efforts \u2013 mental and physical \u2013 that the users must deploy in interacting with a site in order to reach their goals.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>In terms of checkout UX, this means you need to <strong>simplify the checkout process<\/strong> as much as it\u2019s possible, such as keeping fields to the minimum, letting customers pay easily, and making the checkout sequence simpler.<\/p>\n<p>This way you can increase focus and reduce hassle, therefore giving the necessary <em>ability<\/em> to your customers to do their shopping.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, take a look at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ebay.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ebay<\/a>\u2018s checkout process. They <strong>only ask for the necessary data<\/strong>, and pre-fill many fields based on the registration data. As such, customers need to give their personal data, such as their shipping address, only once, then in each shopping instance they just need to fill in the fields that may differ in each purchase: payment, postage, coupon code, and charity donation.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/reduce-cart-abandonment-checkout-ux\/ebay-checkout.jpg\" alt=\"Ebay Checkout\" width=\"700\" height=\"1191\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Give Visual Feedback<\/h2>\n<p>Customers may get lost in the checkout process easily, therefore <strong>giving them the right visual feedback at the right time<\/strong> can be a huge factor in checkout optimization. Amazon, the world\u2019s largest online retailer gives a comprehensive visual feedback at every part of the checkout process.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon uses a <strong>separate UI for the checkout process<\/strong>, that is easily distinguishable from other parts of the site, and doesn\u2019t contain distractions \u2013 not just the sidebar but the top navigation is also cleared off the screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Checkout steps are visualized<\/strong> on top of each checkout screen, which gives an easy-to-understand visual feedback to customers about their <strong>current stance in the checkout process<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Different kinds of information <strong>use different colors as well<\/strong>, and the <span class=\"key\">Continue<\/span> button appears at both the top and bottom of the screen, making it clear for customers what the next task is.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/reduce-cart-abandonment-checkout-ux\/amazon-checkout-ui.jpg\" alt=\"Amazon Checkout UI\" width=\"700\" height=\"473\"><\/figure>\n<h2>Give Customers Control<\/h2>\n<p>Making customers feel they <strong>have a say in their purchase process<\/strong> can increase their motivation for sure. However it\u2019s not always easy to decide when it\u2019s better to let them have a choice, and when it\u2019s better to anticipate their needs.<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"> <strong>Recommended Reading:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hongkiat.com\/blog\/anticipatory-design\/\">Anticipatory design: When choice is removed from decision making<\/a><\/p>\n<p>When speaking about e-Commerce, one of the <strong>biggest customer deterrent is forcing them to register<\/strong>, \"Having to create a new user account\" has been the second most frequent reason for cart abandonment in the aforementioned report.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s such a crucial question that Nielsen Norman Group researched the concept of guest checkout from the aspect of usability. They summarize their research in the following way:<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><em>\u201cGuest checkout with optional registration on e-commerce sites simplifies the purchase process and invites users to register when they feel comfortable, rather than forcing unwanted registration.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Apple\u2019s online stores makes a good job in providing customers with a guest checkout, they display the two options, \"Returning Customers\" and \"Guest Checkout\" right next to each other, on the same level of visual hierarchy.<\/p>\n<p>They also assure customers that they will still <em>able<\/em> to create an Apple ID at the end of the process if they choose the guest checkout.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/reduce-cart-abandonment-checkout-ux\/apple-guest-checkout.jpg\" alt=\"Apple Guest Checkout\" width=\"700\" height=\"445\"><\/figure>\n<p>Guest checkout is only one example of giving customers control in the form of clearly explained options, there can be many different things to consider based on the type of your store, such as shipping options, payment options, sending the product as a gift, coupons, etc.<\/p>\n<h2>Gain Customer Trust<\/h2>\n<p><strong>Lack of customer trust<\/strong> is the reason for \"concerns about security payment\", one of the biggest customer pain points that can cause cart abandonment.<\/p>\n<p>Baymard Institute\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/baymard.com\/blog\/site-seal-trust\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">survey results<\/a> show that <strong>perceived security<\/strong> is more important for most customers than actual security, as most of them don\u2019t understand technical terms, such as TLS\/SSL encryption.<\/p>\n<p>This is why <strong>trust badges and labels<\/strong> can work well in gaining customer trust. For instance, Ebay uses both a \"Money back guarantee\" label and a Norton Security badge, and Apple also assures users about security by using the \"Secure Checkout\" label on the top left of their Checkout Login screen \u2013 they calm customer worries before the checkout process begins (see both examples on above screenshots).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.debenhams.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Debenhams<\/a>, a popular British retailer uses a different design; they have integrated their trust label into a large orange <span class=\"key\">Secure checkout<\/span> button. This way they combine the <em>ability<\/em> and <em>trigger<\/em> elements of the aforementioned Fogg Behavior Model.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/reduce-cart-abandonment-checkout-ux\/debenhams-secure-checkout.jpg\" alt=\"Debenhams Secure Checkout\" width=\"700\" height=\"408\"><\/figure>\n<p>Other than trust badges and labels, it\u2019s also crucial to <strong>highlight customer-focused benefits<\/strong> wherever it\u2019s necessary, especially when you ask customers to make an extra effort. For instance, have a look at how Marks & Spencer recaps the advantages of registration from the point of view of the customer:<\/p>\n<p class=\"note\"><em>\u201cSign in to use our express checkout to benefit from saved delivery and payment details and easy order management.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/reduce-cart-abandonment-checkout-ux\/marks-and-spencer-login-screen.jpg\" alt=\"Marks & Spencer Login Screen\" width=\"700\" height=\"361\"><\/figure>\n<p><strong>Summarizing the order<\/strong> before payment in an easy-to-understand manner, with <strong>all occurring costs detailed<\/strong> is also a feature without which customer trust can hardly be achieved, it\u2019s not a coincidence that most big e-Commerce sites implement it.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Cart abandonment is a standard problem each e-commerce site encounters sooner or later.
