What is Cart Abandonment Rate?
Cart Abandonment Rate shows how often shoppers add products to cart but leave before completing the purchase. It directly highlights friction in the checkout experience — and is a major lever for revenue recovery through retargeting.
Worked Example
In a month, 5,000 shoppers add items to cart. Of those, 3,200 complete the purchase. Cart Abandonment Rate = (5,000 − 3,200) ÷ 5,000 = 36%. The global average is ~70%; rates below 50% indicate a highly optimised checkout.
