Why it matters

A cart shows clear intent to buy, but it is not an order yet. Guests may leave when delivery times appear too late, a payment method is missing, checkout has too many steps or something important remains unclear.

The right response starts by looking at the journey: where do guests leave? A clear cart, transparent costs and a short checkout help remove avoidable barriers.
