Why 70% of your shoppers vanish before buying

Every year, ecommerce brands lose $18 billion to abandoned carts.
And 7 out of 10 shoppers leave without buying.

But this isn’t just a marketing issue.
It’s a UX problem.

Here’s what’s really causing it:

1. Unexpected Costs
Surprise shipping fees kill trust fast.
Shoppers feel misled. So they bounce.

2. Forced Account Creation
Asking for an account too early creates friction.
People want to buy, not commit.

3. A Clunky Checkout
Confusing layouts, too many steps, unclear pricing.
Every extra click loses intent.

let’s be honest, how clunky is YOUR checkout right now?

🧠 UX takeaway

Your checkout flow is the final pitch. If it’s slow, unclear, or annoying, people leave.
Even if they love your product.
