You already worked a lot on your WooCommerce store. You have enthusiastic customers, awesome product, and growing amount of sales.
At this glorious moment something just gets behind your back and attacks you – this monster is called shopping cart abandonment. It is sneaky, ugly, and must be taken care of.
Why?
Because it’s stealing 74% of your customers right now.
The Cart Abandonment Problem
First, you have to understand how much trouble does the cart abandonment cause you on a daily basis. The average cart abandonment rate is 74%, which is ridiculously high.
Let’s imagine a simple, everyday situation: there is a huge fruit market. 100 people puts awesome, good smelling fruits in their basket, but on their way to the cashier 74 shoppers just drop it, leave, and probably never look back.
This would be weird if it actually happened, right? Well, in online stores it’s not that weird, in fact, it happens all the time.
Let’s do the math: Let’s assume you’re close to the average and your cart abandonment rate is 74%. It means that while 100 shoppers put something into the cart, only 26 of them complete the checkout.
No, it’s not a typo, only 26 do it.
To put cart abandonment into other perspective:
You lose $284 on every $100 revenue.
Now I’ve got your attention, right?
Don’t worry. With GhostMonitor, you can recover from the lost money.
The reasons of cart abandonment
Of course, window-shoppers will always be there, but it’s important to look at the reasons that why someone who intends to buy things, changes his or her mind.
Let’s take a look at this chart below:

These are probably the most common reasons, but there are many that you’re not even able to think of – e.g. the postman rang, and they just didn’t feel like buying anymore, etc.
I heard a lot of interesting excuses when I called my cart abandoners asking why didn’t they complete their purchase.
This also shows, that we’re facing a complex problem, and at that point you might think that complex problems can only be solved in the hard way.
Fortunately, the ultimate weapons to fight the cart abandonment monster already exists, and it is called cart recovery tools.
A cart recovery tool catches abandoners’ email addresses and sends cart recovery emails after cart abandonment.
How cart recovery emails work
These emails contain the abandoned cart with images and it drives back the abandoners to the checkout process. The key is: using these automated emails, like Amazon, Nike, eBay do.
This is the exact reason why you should take a closer look on the GhostMonitor plugin.
