Abandoned Checkouts Settings

Abandoned checkouts occur when customers add items to their cart but don't finalize their purchase, a common issue in e-commerce. A high rate of checkout abandonment indicates a need for improving the shopping experience. In this guide, we'll show how to leverage the Abandoned Checkout feature to recapture these lost sales and optimize your online store's performance.
