Online shoppers – once they have made a decision about purchasing a product, they do not want any obstacles before they check out. The good news is that Magento has excellent features that support online stores to reduce abandoned carts. Other than that there are plenty of Magento extensions that can be downloaded and installed on the go to add fantastic capabilities to boost online sales and reduce the number of abandoned carts.
Here we’ll discuss a few Magento options:
Check Out As Guest Option
Online shopping stores that have a compulsory registration process create an uncomfortable hesitation in the minds of customers. After adding a product to the cart, a quick checkout is what will delight your customers. If there is a compulsory checkout process, it will lead to abandoned carts or not very satisfactory purchasers. Well, customers like options – give them an option to register if it is beneficial for your store. The good news is that Magento has an option for “Checkout As Guest” where users who do not wish to permanently register their details with a website can use guest checkout and make their purchase.
This is a definite way to improve sales and reduce your abandoned carts.
Add Products To Cart Without Any hurdles
Again – after a customer adds a product to the cart, they need a quick check out. So, after clicking on “Add TO Cart” there should not be any additional hurdles or obstructions or pop ups.
Magento has a great feature for quickly helping users to add products to cart and continue with the checkout process without any pop ups and cross selling.
Display Product Availability
Imagine the frustration when a customer decides to purchase a product, adds it to the cart and is ready to pay when a message pops up that the product is not available! Wouldn’t it be nice to know that in advance? Well, Magento has this feature built in! Customers are well informed and can continue with their shopping without any glitches.
Easy Check Out Process
Checkout as you guessed it has a vital role in online sales. Magento has a built in fast check out process. It has a one page 6 step check out process that displays a success page after order has been placed. Another striking feature is that it has a “Check out progress” bar where users can check the next steps.
Easier Check Out with extensions
The good thing about Magento is that it offers extensive opportunities for customization. Along with awesome built in capabilities. The check out process is great, but you can further improve it for your store with a “One Step Checkout” by installing an extension. This consolidates the default 6 steps from Magento into one hence enhancing the customer shopping experience.
Abandoned Carts and Order Followup Magento Extension
This is what is so awesome about Magento. It is flexible and scalable and extensible. Abandoned Carts are a common occurrence. You can easily install extensions like Abandoned Carts and Order Followup and ease the process for yourself. The Abandoned Carts Magento Extension enables you to track all your shoppers who left products without purchasing them. With Order follow up Magento Extension sends an automated follow up email to the customer after a certain period of time.
Magento has a lot of rich features to offer if used wisely. Other than that there are several customizable features that can be added by installing extensions.
