A shopper seems to be interested in your product. You can see from your on-site analytics that they’ve visited the same product page three times. Today, they added that product to their online cart—then left your site without completing the transaction.
What happened? That’s a tough question to answer, because there are numerous reasons for shopping cart abandonment. Maybe the shopper got distracted. Or the checkout process was too complicated. Or they wanted to pay with PayPal, but that wasn’t an available option.
Shopping cart abandonment tools can help enterprise brands reveal the reasons users stopped short of a purchase. In this post, we’ll cover 10 types of tech you can use to engage customers, support your sales process, and drive conversions.
Some cart abandonment solutions focus on improving the checkout process or site functionality, while others are designed to motivate shoppers to buy. We’ve included a mix of technology in our list of best shopping cart abandonment tools, so you can see the many use cases and decide which are right for you.
Overview: Persado Dynamic Motivation helps brands reduce shopping cart abandonment by zeroing-in on the language that motivates every shopper to hit buy.

Key features:
Overview: ShoppingGives allows retailers to seamlessly enable charitable donations as part of e-commerce purchases. While it may not be considered a cart abandonment tool directly, social impact at checkout separates the brand from the competition and further motivates customers to complete their purchases by giving them an added purpose.
Retailers can choose from 24,000 unique nonprofits.
Key features:
Overview: Klaviyo is a marketing automation platform that includes customizable cart abandonment workflows. Retail brands can set up each workflow to include delivery time, messaging, and dynamic content blocks with a “Return to Cart” link that takes users back to the checkout page.

Key features:
Overview: In a typical e-commerce transaction, it’s easy for shoppers to virtually wander away from their carts. Subscription-based models ensure the sale happens at a defined cadence, without requiring the customer to take action. Ordergroove automates the subscription process and experience to reduce customer churn and cart abandonment.
With Ordergroove, brands let customers dictate how often they receive a shipment and show them the cost savings of a subscription compared to a one-time purchase. Brands can also automatically upsell by encouraging shoppers to add more products in exchange for free shipping.
Key features:
Overview: Picreel is a popup-based shopping cart abandonment tool that e-commerce retailers can also use to collect email addresses in exchange for discount offers. Brands can target specific users or product pages, and launch a popup based on exit intent, time on page, or scrolling. Common pop up messages include free shipping, discounts & coupons, personalized messaging, upsells, and more. E-commerce brands can also collect valuable customer data from exit pop up surveys. So they can better understand why customers leave.
Picreel’s A/B testing feature enables brands to seamlessly test popup ideas and make data-driven decisions.
Key features:
Overview: It’s no secret that social proof drives conversions. Yotpo, a retention marketing platform, automates the review request process by soliciting user-generated content that will resonate with shoppers. When e-commerce customers see how a product looks “in the wild,” they automatically feel more confident in their purchase before even hitting “add to cart.”
At the checkout page, retailers can display their most positive reviews, or the reviews that answer common questions. This is especially helpful if they are selling clothing or shoes, products about which shoppers may have questions about sizing and fit.
Key features:
