Checkout UX Patterns That Reduce Cart Abandonment
By First Data Team, Engineering & Product
Friction points we fix first on Iranian e-commerce rebuilds.
Guest checkout should be the default path, forced account creation before payment is still a top abandonment driver in local market audits.
Show all-in pricing early: shipping estimate, VAT, and payment fees before the final step. Surprises on the last screen kill trust instantly.
Payment method diversity matters: Zarinpal, card, wallet, and COD each need clear icons and failure recovery, retry without losing the cart.
Mobile thumb zones: primary CTA full-width, sticky on scroll, with enough contrast in both light and dark themes.
