abandoned cart

Left online checkout

An abandoned cart is an online shopping cart that a customer fills with items but leaves without completing the purchase.

The term comes from e-commerce analytics, where tracking abandoned carts helps businesses understand lost sales: We send reminder emails to customers with abandoned carts.

Retailers use discounts and follow-up messages to recover these potential transactions.
