Convert more shoppers

For many shoppers, the urge to buy can be fleeting. Simple website issues or unanswered questions lead to abandoned carts. Studies show cart abandonment rates to be between 55-80% depending on the source. But no matter how you look at it, that’s more than half.

Ecommerce live chat software lets you provide quick and easy support to your site visitors to stop them from bouncing. A simple “How can I help you?” message paired with a friendly chat button can be enough to convert more visitors into customers.

Decrease cart abandonment

Every year, trillions of dollars are left in abandoned shopping carts. In fact, more than two-thirds of consumers abandon shopping carts after adding one or more products. Whether from a lack of clear navigation, concerns around payment security, or product questions that go unanswered, the losses are staggering.

With live sales chat on your website, agents are ready to engage with customers at the moment of truth, to help them navigate the speed bumps to the checkout page – and better still, they can proactively reach out to give them the final, personalized nudge they need to convert.

Keep customers coming back for more

A report by ICMI found that website visitors that engage with online retailers via live chat are worth 4.5x more than visitors who don’t. Why? Because they spend more money and keep coming back for more.

Customer experience is as important as the product or service you are selling. A positive shopping experience with personalized, accessible support creates loyal customers.
