What is Abandoned Cart?

A shopping cart a customer fills but leaves without completing the purchase.

An abandoned cart is an online order that a shopper started — adding products to their basket — but never finished. It is one of the most common and costly leaks in e-commerce.

Each abandoned cart represents a customer who showed clear buying intent, which makes them far easier to convert than a cold prospect. The data captured (items, value) also enables highly relevant follow-up.

Reducing abandonment and recovering carts that do get abandoned are both major levers for online revenue.
