However, they tend to focus on their product ranges, content and the general design of their website in order to make improvements in the hope that their updates will boost profits.<\/p>\n<p>Research tells us however, that the checkout is the stage of sale which can lead to a heavy decline in interest. The average checkout cart abandonment rate is 67.4%. A vast majority of E-commerce businesses are failing to engage customers within the checkout process, leading to lost sales. If customers are enticed enough to add a product to their cart and view their basket, surely they must be tempted to make a purchase?<\/p>\n<p>As more of us indulge in online shopping and with figures set to rise, there is a potential for large profit margins if E-commerce businesses identify and provide consumers with what they expect during an online transaction.<\/p>\n<p>Vouchercloud has put together this new infographic to highlight some of the key aspects which contribute to checkout abandonment in a bid to help online businesses understand the psychology of the online shopper.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.silkstream.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Consumer-Psychology-and-ECo.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-598\" src=\"https:\/\/www.silkstream.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Consumer-Psychology-and-ECo.jpg\" alt=\"Infographic Consumer Psychology and Ecommerce. 85% Read online reviews BEFORE buying. 41% will abandon cart if hidden checkout costs. 60% of total web transactions are Paypal\" width=\"900\" height=\"8282\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.silkstream.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Consumer-Psychology-and-ECo.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.silkstream.net\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/02\/Consumer-Psychology-and-ECo-624x5742.jpg 624w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What\u2019s the secret to a successful E-commerce business?
