Abandoned cart it’s probably a problem of all online stores. A customer can forget about an order or change his mind about buying. It’s a very unpleasant situation for the website owner. But the real tragedy is when a customer wants to buy a product but can’t finish a purchase because the checkout page was unclear for him.

It can happen when you sell abroad to different countries and the language barrier interferes with sales. Even if your store in English (or other widespread languages) it can be difficult for understanding for many visitors. They can like your products. They can even select some of them and want to buy them. But if the checkout page causes difficulties, you can lose your clients:(

The translation of the website is the only correct decision in this situation. This option will make the process of purchasing easier and more convenient for your customers. Thanks to this visitors’ loyalty will grow and they will stay with you longer.
