Cart Abandonment
Quick answer
What is cart abandonment?
When someone starts a purchase — adds to cart or begins checkout — but leaves without completing it.
In plain English
Cart abandonment happens for reasons as simple as a distraction or as serious as unresolved doubt. A short, targeted follow-up sequence sent right after can recover a meaningful share of these near-sales.
Example
Someone enters their email on checkout, then closes the tab before paying.
Why it matters
It's specifically why the Abandoner email sequence exists — a short 2-3 email series meant to remove the last doubt without pressure.
