In a recent study, they conducted a study on Shopping Cart Abandonment and what factors lead to customers leaving their online shopping carts while at the Checkout step. Below are the results:<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-8556 size-full\" title=\"shopping cart abandonment reasons shows 80\/20\" src=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/shopping-cart-abandonment.jpg\" alt=\"Shopping Cart Abandonment reasons forms an 80\/20\" width=\"494\" height=\"597\" srcset=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/shopping-cart-abandonment.jpg 494w, https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/05\/shopping-cart-abandonment-248x300.jpg 248w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 494px) 100vw, 494px\" \/> As you can see, the data above forms a nice Pareto Chart, showing that Shipping and Handling Costs as &#8220;Too High&#8221; as the largest reason for customers abandoning their shopping cart at the point of Checkout. From the perspective of Lean Thinking, the Pareto shows the symptoms of why customers are abandoning their cart &#8211; the bars in the Pareto point us in the right direction. The next step is <a title=\"root cause analysis\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/root-cause-analysis\/172\/\" target=\"_blank\">Root Cause Analysis<\/a>, possibly asking the following with the goal of Reducing Shopping Cart Abandonment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What is &#8220;Too High&#8221; for Shipping Costs?<\/li>\n<li>Why does the customer not know the Shipping and Handling Costs prior to arriving at the Checkout Step?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>After a quick <a title=\"5 whys, 5whys\" href=\"https:\/\/staging.opexlearning.com\/resources\/ask-why-five-times-about-every-matter\/382\/\" target=\"_blank\">5 Whys<\/a> on the questions above, the root cause should point logically and nicely to practical and very surgical countermeasures that we hope will reduce shopping cart abandonment. Then we implement, watch and measure, then we Adjust.
