Your website design can have a direct impact on the success of your inbound marketing campaign. Many people don’t know it, but there are various checkout processes or shopping cart turn offs which send consumers running. Do you know what they are? Does your website have a checkout process that turns your customers off?
Having a smooth checkout process is vitally important if you want your customers to take that final step and complete the sale. Online customers who encounter unexpected detours or a lengthy payment process they didn’t expect, can quickly lose interest and look for similar products and services elsewhere.
Below are a few common shopping cart mistakes:
● Your site isn’t configured for mobile device use. Having an e-commerce site that isn’t geared towards mobile use, is setting the business up for a loss of sales. Your website, offering online payments must be adaptive and responsive regardless of the size of the screen on which it is being viewed.
● The checkout process is long and confusing. The checkout point is not the best place to gather all of your consumer’s details or present them with a myriad of other similar product options. Here they want the process to be simple and quick. The longer it takes to checkout, the less potential there is for the sale to be completed.
● Shipping costs cause a high rate of consumers abandoning the online shopping process. If you only reveal the shipping costs at the end of the checkout process and it’s considered too expensive, the consumer will abandon the purchase. If you offer free shipping, make sure it is well advertised. If you don’t, make sure your shipping rates are made available as early on in the process as possible.
