It is important for merchants looking for an ecommerce solution to spend time considering the right online checkout for their individual business needs. Merchants also need to keep in mind that current statistics show that the average shopping basket abandonment rate for ecommerce websites currently stands at over 67% (research by the Baymard Institute). Shopping carts are abandoned for a variety of reasons some of which are related to the shopping cart itself.

Research identifies key factors linking to online shopping carts that can cause a customer to abandon their cart mid-purchase. These factors include not enough payment options, a too complicated checkout procedure and fear over checkout security (Invesp, Shopping Cart Abandonment Statistics). All these issues need to be taken into account when choosing an ecommerce system. ShopIntegrator addresses all of these concerns by ensuring it provides a checkout that links to a choice of leading payment processors, is straightforward to use and navigate around and is PCI compliant and McAfee secure.
