Persistent Cart (a top 5 Forbes-recommended Shopify App) increases the number of sales, average purchase size, and customer retention by making sure customers never lose their shopping carts.
What Shopping is like WITHOUT Persistent Cart:
Let’s say Jim is shopping at work on your store and has 5 items in his shopping cart. Then he gets on a bus to go home and loads your site on his phone. He logs in, only to find a sad and empty shopping cart. He tries to remember what he was going to buy and struggles to add some items to his cart. When he gets home, he hops on his home computer, logs into your store and finds his shopping cart empty again. He gives up, and you lose a sale.
What shopping is like WITH Persistent Cart:
When Jim is on the bus and logs into your site, his cart automatically loads with the 5 items he added while he was at work. Let’s say he adds 2 more items while he’s on the bus. When he gets home and logs in on his home computer, he’ll have all 7 items in his cart. He can then continue shopping and is much more likely to make a purchase, and his purchase will be bigger. He's also a much happier customer and more likely to shop again on your site.
See the difference immediately, a quick experiment
Navigate to your store. Log into an account like a customer and add some items to your cart. Then go to a different device or browser and log in. Your original cart will be gone. Install the Persistent Cart free trial by pressing the green "Get" button above, and try the same thing. You won't lose your shopping cart.
