The Formula

Cart Abandonment Rate = (Carts Not Completed / Carts Created) × 100

Why It Matters

Because these are shoppers who already showed strong purchase intent, cart abandonment is often the highest-leverage place to fix friction, closer to the goal than any other funnel stage. Unexpected shipping costs, a forced account creation step, and a slow or confusing checkout are the most common, and most fixable, causes.

Example

A store sees 1,000 carts created in a month and 680 never complete checkout. Cart Abandonment Rate is (680 divided by 1,000) times 100, which equals 68%.

Frequently Asked Questions

  • Ecommerce averages commonly cited across the industry sit in the 65 to 75% range, though it varies by device, price point, and checkout design.

  • Showing shipping costs earlier, offering guest checkout, simplifying the checkout form, and sending timely abandoned-cart reminder emails are the most common effective fixes.
