Use Proactive Chat to Reduce Cart Abandonment

Learn how proactive chat can engage customers at crucial moments to reduce cart abandonment and boost sales.

How can proactive chat help reduce cart abandonment?

Proactive chat can be a powerful tool in reducing cart abandonment by engaging customers at critical moments in their purchase journey. By setting up triggers in Zendesk Chat, you can automatically invite customers to chat when they meet certain conditions, such as spending a specific amount of time on the checkout page.

This timely intervention can help address any concerns or questions customers might have, encouraging them to complete their purchase. However, keep in mind that proactive chat can increase the number of chats your agents need to handle, so ensure you have the resources to manage this increased volume effectively.
