Helping a US Automotive Ecommerce Store Reduce Cart Abandonment and Lift Sales

Several things were happening at once: Product pages carried inconsistent specifications for certain car models. A few shipping details were unclear or too hidden for first-time shoppers. Customer support wasn’t always reachable during evening browsing hours. The checkout flow required more steps than necessary. None of these issues were catastrophic alone — but together, they pushed shoppers away right before completing an order.

In automotive ecommerce, hesitation is costly. Shoppers often add multiple items to verify fitment or compatibility. If anything seems off — a missing spec, unclear return policy, or slow response — they simply abandon the purchase and look elsewhere. Reducing friction at each step meant capturing sales that were already within reach.
