Market context

~70% of online shopping carts are abandoned on average (70.22% aggregate of 50 studies, 2006-2025).

Baymard Institute, Sep 2025

Of non-browsing US shoppers who abandon, 39% cite extra costs (shipping/tax/fees) as too high and 8% a declined card; a separate 43% abandon because they were “just browsing” - a structurally unrecoverable segment.

Baymard Institute, 2025

India e-retail reached ~$60B GMV in 2024 with 270M+ online shoppers, and is projected at $170-190B GMV by 2030 - the world's 2nd-largest e-retail market.
