Key Insights:

Understanding the Friction Points

Optimising the checkout process requires a deep understanding of the friction points that hinder a seamless experience. Technical glitches, UX challenges, buyer-related hurdles, and payment failures are the key obstacles faced by businesses. UX challenges, like complex checkout designs and excessive account creation requirements, can lead to cart abandonment. Buyer-related hurdles, such as timing and lack of trust, impact buyer decisions. Payment failures, due to reasons like insufficient funds or incorrect credit card details, also hinder the checkout process. By identifying these friction points, businesses can take effective measures to reduce them and enhance the shopping experience.
