The percentage of returning customers who abandon their shopping cart is about 50-50 on who returns to buy and who does not. The average time delay between a customers first visit and them buying from your site is about 20 minutes. And 72 percent of visitors will make a purchase in the first 12 hours. As far as understanding cart abandonment in a 28-day period, one-time abandoners have an 18 percent chance of making a purchase, serial abandoners have a 48 percent chance of making a purchase, and Recent Goal Abandoners (meaning they’ve already made a purchase before) have a 57 percent chance of making a purchase. Abandonment rates are higher among those with lower totals in their shopping cart.
