Notes from the field
- The biggest checkout drop-off is usually between Cart and Shipping; investigate first.
- Address autocomplete reduces validation friction more than any tweak to the form itself.
- Add tax and shipping costs as early as possible to avoid review-stage surprises.
Frequently asked
Should I gate checkout behind account creation?
Almost never. Guest checkout reduces drop-off significantly. Offer account creation on the confirmation page instead.
