Up to 75.8% of users abandon their carts when shopping online due to unexpected shipping costs, forced registration, complicated checkout process, or bugs in forms, among other checkout issues.
We audit the checkout based on 52 industry best practices to maximize its performance. It all starts with segmented checkout funnel behavior analysis, exit-intent surveys, session recordings, and heat map setup. When qualitative data is collected, it’s time to invite your target customers for user testing sessions and get your checkout benchmarked by our CRO experts (our research methods are supported by Baymard Institute, Google UX playbooks and CXL).
Within about 2 weeks, you get a checkout optimization roadmap and suggestions on the tool stack to be used for cart recovery strategy, e.g., cart abandonment email sequences or remarketing setup.

You get introduced to the main experts who will be working on your project. We run a “discovery” session with all pending questions and finalize the optimization strategy we will be following.
Based on the initial CRO audit and discovery session, we develop a 6-month optimization plan outlining the main milestones to be reached monthly.
Active work kicked-off and we meet weekly or biweekly to align all teams on the progress and pending action items. It is critical to ensure smooth collaboration on both sides, including your internal marketing team and scandiweb CRO team.
