I recently came across this independent report and thought I would share it with you. It states the top 10 influential factors for shopping online. I promise it’s worth a read so why not print it out and take a look over the weekend?
eCommerce customer expectations
How does your site rate against them?
I’ve picked out some of the most important factors listed and added a quick and easy solution that we can help you with…. so keep reading!
» Pricing and Shipping information clearly stated
Are your prices and shipping costs clearly shown?
If the answer is no or you’re not sure, then I suggest you consider our Enhanced Shipper module (£75). This module allows you to set up and manage shipping costs based on a mix of criteria:
- Ship by weight/order total
- set up multiple delivery regions
- a mix of methods (e.g if the total order value is greater than £X and the weight is less than Ykg then its free shipping etc)

» Visual Appealing (Redesign)
Similar to your site looking trustworthy, customers consider the look and feel of your site before buying online. Is it time for a bit of housekeeping or a completely new look? We’re always full of fresh ideas so give us a call to talk to one of our designers today.

» Customer and Checkout Experience
I’m a big fan of the fast and easy checkout module & I’ll tell you why (there is a hint in the name!). It allows customers to fill in all their info (shipping address, billing address & payment details) on one page, making it less likely for them to abandon the sale and go elsewhere.
“According to industry publications, average shopping cart abandonment rates are between 60% – 70%. Put in to simple numbers, if you have 100 people start the checkout process and 65% abandon it, you just lost 65 sales. To take that further, if your average order value is £49 you lost £3185 in revenue!!
