How Do I Find Abandoned Carts on Shopify?

Last updated on October 1, 2022 @ 1:17 pm

Abandoned carts are a big problem for online retailers. They cost businesses billions of dollars every year, and often leave customers feeling frustrated and disappointed.

The good news is that there are a few things you can do to reduce the number of abandoned carts on your Shopify store.

1. Use abandoned cart emails

Abandoned cart emails are a great way to remind customers about the items they left in their cart. You can set up automatic emails to be sent to customers after a certain amount of time, or send them manually.

2. Use exit-intent popups

Exit-intent popups are a great way to capture the attention of customers who are about to leave your store without buying anything. These popups can offer a discount or incentive to customers, which may convince them to stay on your site and complete their purchase.

PRO TIP: If you are considering using Shopify to find abandoned carts, be warned that this is not a foolproof method. There are a number of factors that can influence whether or not a cart is truly abandoned, such as if the customer changes their mind, if the items in their cart are no longer available, or if the customer’s payment information is not valid. In other words, just because a cart is abandoned on Shopify does not mean that the customer is no longer interested in the items.

3. Offer free shipping

Free shipping is one of the most effective ways to reduce abandoned carts. Customers are often reluctant to pay for shipping, so offering it for free can be a great way to encourage them to complete their purchase.

4. Make the checkout process easy and streamlined

The easier and more streamlined the checkout process is, the less likely customers are to abandon their carts. Make sure your checkout page is easy to navigate and that all the necessary fields are clearly marked. You may also want to consider offering guest checkout to make it even easier for customers to complete their purchase without creating an account.

5. Offer customer support

If customers have any questions or problems during the checkout process, offer them customer support. This can be in the form of live chat, phone support, or email support. Having someone available to help can make all the difference in whether or not a customer completes their purchase.
