Therefore, the website should have an easy checkout system with clear indication of number of steps involved for the final order purchase. Most of the times, the users like the products and add to their cart but when they checkout, they see lot of complex steps before they can pay finally and therefore they prefer to quit. We must understand that internet users are really short of time and at the same time have plenty of options(your competitors) to buy their desired products. The website checkout process must be simple for users to understand and must have clear indication of how many steps a user has to go through in order to complete the purchase.
