Enter your sale price, platform fees, payment fees, shipping, and product costs. The result estimates the unit economics of one order or transaction.

Formula

Cart Abandonment Rate = Abandoned Carts ÷ Created Carts × 100

Cart abandonment is not always bad; some shoppers compare prices. Focus on recoverable causes such as surprise fees, slow checkout, and unclear shipping.

For better decisions, test conservative numbers. Include ads, packaging, returns, refunds, and shipping subsidies when they apply.

Cart abandonment benchmark

Benchmark: under 50% is excellent, 50%–70% is good, 70%–80% is average, and above 80% is poor. Review checkout friction, unexpected fees, and shipping clarity.
