Most common frictions in E-commerce funnels

70% of e-commerce carts are abandoned before payment. Most of these drop-offs are avoidable with simple fixes — if you know where to look.

Top 4 frictions in E-commerce

1. Checkout too long

Detected in 72% of e-commerce audits

Mandatory account creation, too many steps, duplicate information requests. Each extra step costs conversions.

2. Hidden fees revealed at checkout

Detected in 41% of e-commerce audits

Shipping fees or taxes appearing only at the final step generate a 48% abandonment rate.

3. Product page without social proof

Detected in 39% of e-commerce audits

No reviews, no customer photos, no visible guarantee. AI agents hesitate and leave.

4. Hard-to-see add-to-cart CTA

Detected in 55% of e-commerce audits

Neutral-colored button, poorly positioned or missing on scroll. On mobile, often below the fold.

Real-world example

A Shopify store had a 78% cart abandonment rate. The FunnelSense audit identified that the 'hurried' AI agent systematically dropped off at shipping: express delivery options weren't visible without scrolling. Fix: reordered delivery options. Result: -12 points abandonment.
