What Makes Your Online Customers Leave?
The rapid growth of ecommerce is proof that shopping online is preferred by many. But shopping online can be frustrating when the retailer doesn’t pay attention to detail. If your webstore isn’t comprehensively updated in real time, you are risking the loss of potential customers. Here are a few of the reasons online customers leave and go to other sites:
- Product descriptions and photos don’t match or have enough detail
- Items are out of stock but it doesn’t say so and give options
- It is difficult to navigate your site and your search feature doesn’t function
- It is impossible to shop as a guest or save items for later
- Checkout is too complicated and shipping fees are a shock
- Return policies are inadequate and customer service isn’t helpful
Some of these issues are resolved by setting up your website correctly for multiple devices and making sure you understand how your customers use your site. Others are resolved by seamlessly linking your site to the rest of your enterprise with ChainDrive ecommerce Gateway.
