A cart abandonment occurs when the customers add items to the cart but leave the website without completing the purchase.

Motivate customers to recover their carts and finish the checkout process. Using this strategy can lead to a dramatic increase in order values, increase sales and increase profitability by getting more customers to complete their purchase.
