I HAVE left carts at stores not because I registered at the beginning but because when I got to the check out part, I found out the site was not secure, and I would not give out my info..so I had to leave the cart and bounce!!!....

You want a shopping cart experience that is friendly, intuitive, and trustworthy. Security and reliability should also be heavily considered when implementing a shopping cart solution. There are many solutions available on the Net. Some are even free if you help promote their site. Depending on the size of your operations and your goals (what kind of reporting features, customer support features, customization, etc..), you can hire a programmer to implement one for you, or you need to develop in conjuction with your ecommerce site by yourself. http://ecommerce.objectwareinc.com Thu, 06 Dec 2007 16:27:53 -0700 http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/151/Shopping-Cart-Abandonment/#comment4312 http://www.practicalecommerce.com/articles/151/Shopping-Cart-Abandonment/#comment3828 This was very interesting. Lee, do you have statistics on the difference that it makes asking customers to register at the end of the shopping process rather than the start?
