So, donât forget to add all the accepted payment methods at your checkout page - VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shopify Payments, list it all. It only adds trust!

These links should be visible on every store page, but theyâre vital on your checkout page.
#9 - Enable guest checkout
I wasnât sure if I should mention this, but itâs so obvious that I couldnât just leave it out. One of the biggest reasons for abandoned cards is the need for an account and the inability to checkout as a guest.

No matter what store builder you use, always have guest checkout enabled. You should be aiming to simplify the checkout process, not complicate it further.
#10 - Add your logo
This one should be a no-brainer, but just to put it out there.
Your checkout page looks much less scammy and more personalized and trustworthy if you simply upload your logo to be visible on top.

#11 - No surprise costs
If thereâs one thing thatâs a recipe for an abandoned carts disaster is hidden costs.
Free shipping or not, say it as it is! Customers usually donât mind an added cost as long as theyâre informed about it on time.
