Shopping cart abandonment is a recurring challenge at every online store. Data suggests this varies between 60% to 95%, depending on the country, device, category, and brand. The good thing about realizing this challenge in your business is that you are not alone, it happens at every retailer including the greats of Amazon. If you are not sure whether you face this challenge, look at the total number of unique products added to the cart and the final number of products sold. If you have a delta, you are facing the same challenge as everyone else.

So why do visitors add products to their cart and not become customers? There are many reasons, such as

  1. Simply forgot
  2. Got busy
  3. Distracted by a mobile notification from another app
  4. Waiting for a discount
  5. Bookmarking
  6. Others

The Evolution of KYC

KYC is a fundamental regulatory requirement aimed at preventing money laundering, fraud, and identity theft. Historically, KYC involved manual verification processes that required customers to submit physical documents, leading to delays and potential errors. The advent of digital KYC has transformed this space, enabling faster, more accurate, and seamless verification processes.
