Shopping Cart Abandonment Stats [Infographic]

While shopping cart abandonment statistics vary between 50% and 70%, depending on the study, it's always useful to see why people abandon carts. This week's infographic was created by Milo remixed from comScore data. Hat tip to Econsultancy for this find.

One really interesting finding is it's better to not show a delivery standard than to show one that exceeds 7 days. 38% would abandon a cart when delivery standard is 8 days or more, while only 24% would jump cart when no standard is given. But remember, this measures conversion rate, but doesn't take into account the cost of customer service for ticked off customers.
