When was the last time you took a close look at the checkout experience on your website?

If you haven’t thought about how website visitors purchase your software or digital products, then you’re glossing over a key aspect of the overall customer experience. And if you’re not focusing on the checkout on your website, you’re likely losing out on revenue—more on that later.

You Can’t Afford to Ignore the Checkout Experience on Your Website

Did you know that 23% of site visitors abandon their cart due to a long and/or complicated checkout process?

Let’s do a little math.

Let’s say your website generates ten thousand visitors per month. On average, about half of those visitors are simply browsing without any intention to buy. So that leaves about five thousand visitors that you could potentially turn into loyal customers.

If you’re turning away 23% of the five thousand interested visitors due to an outdated or overly complex checkout experience, that’s 1,150 customers you miss out on each month. Totaling to over 13,000 lost visitors each year.

If you’re charging $100 for your digital product that translates into over a million dollars of revenue that you’re losing each year due to a poor checkout experience!

What are Branded Checkouts and how do they work?

Are you still redirecting to a third-party hosted checkout page or forcing your site visitors to jump through infinite hoops to create an account before they can make a purchase?

What if I told you there’s a better way?
