Frequently Asked Questions
How is lost revenue from cart abandonment calculated?
Abandoned Carts = Carts x Abandonment Rate; Lost Revenue = Abandoned Carts x AOV. With 5,000 carts at 70% and $75 AOV, $262,500 sits abandoned.
What abandonment rate is normal?
Around 70% per Baymard Institute research. Below 60% is excellent; above 80% points at shipping shock, account walls, or broken carts.
What recovery rate should I expect?
Email flows recover 8-12% of abandoners and SMS adds 2-5 points on top. Staged timing (1 hour, 24 hours, 72 hours) beats single blasts.
Should recovery offers include discounts?
First try no-discount reminders (most recovery needs no margin), then escalate: free shipping at email two, 10% at email three for high carts only.
How do I reduce abandonment at the source?
Show full costs in the cart, keep carts persistent, offer guest checkout and wallets, and display delivery dates before the payment step.
