Not Ready
Your customers may not be ready to commit. What do you do about it? You can try to entice them with a better deal. Auto popup windows that offer a discount on their purchase or free shipping seem to work well. Entice the customer to buy and he probably will.

High Shipping Prices
Your customers may be ready to make their purchases, but the cost of shipping may stop them from committing. If after checking your site’s analytics you feel that high shipping prices are costing you sales, consider other options to help save your customers money.

Comparison Shopping
If your customers are bouncing because they want to see if a competitor is cheaper, beat them to the punch. It’s easy to put a comparison chart on your site showing that your website offers the best deals. Of course, your website will have to actually offer the best deals for this to be effective.

Saving for Later
If your customers are abandoning their carts early, they may be biding their time. They may not be ready to commit later, but they may want to save those items in their cart for when they are ready to buy. This is where follow up becomes very important. Nurture your customers and make it easy to remain in the backs of their minds. When they are ready to buy, let them know that their items will be waiting in their carts when they’re ready to return.

Too Much Information
Some customers abandon their shopping cart because the sales process asks for too much information. Customers these days don’t like it when they feel as though they’re being data mined. Ask for only the basic information you need to complete the transaction and that’s it. You may also want to study competitors’ check-out forms to see what types of questions they’re asking.

Confusing Checkout
Don’t make your customers jump through hoops to buy your products. Your customers should be able to make a purchase with minimal clicks through your site. And make use of breadcrumbs so that your customers can always go back one or more steps in the online shopping process.

The above shopping cart abandonment problems can be avoided by simply focusing on the needs of your customers. Make it easy for your customers to buy from you and try to pass on savings whenever possible. This will decrease shopping cart abandonment issues and increase conversions, guaranteed.

Magento Community Edition
The Community Edition is so-called because it is free to download, which means it’s available to everyone worldwide, but also because it relies heavily on the actual Magento Community. The Magento Community offers answers to complex questions, a community forum, a wiki, translations, bug tracking, an issues roadmap and even a job board. The major drawback to the Magento Community Edition is that it is unsupported by Magento, which means that you will need to spend your own time and resources solving potential issues. This is where the Magento Community forum comes in handy.

Magento Professional Edition
Magento Professional comes with everything you’ll find in the Community Edition with one major difference. This edition also comes with several revenue-generating features including PCI compliance, that can further boost your bottom line. Furthermore, the Professional Edition is under warranty from Magento and is supported by Magento Solution Partners, which means coming up with solutions to common problems is an email or phone call away.

Magento Enterprise Edition
The Enterprise is the Community Edition on steroids. With advanced features, deep customization and major functionality changes, this edition is perfect for business owners who require a production-ready, enterprise-grade, robust e-commerce platform with the full confidence of an SLA (Service Level Agreement).

The Enterprise Edition comes complete with:

• An Enhanced Content Management System (CMS+)

Which Is Best For Your Needs?
We decided to partner with Magento because the company is open source, which we love, but it also knows the ins and outs of e-commerce. The company truly understands the needs of business owners, but it also understands what prospects and customers might be looking for in order to make an informed decision. Which Magento Edition is best? We recommend the Professional Edition if you are just starting out. But if you are truly serious about business and you really want to make it in the world of e-commerce, you will want to play like the big boys. That means choosing the Enterprise Editions which come with all the features and customization you’ll need to create your very own online superstore.
