FluidGrowers – an Australian ecommerce company – found out that customers were leaving the cart page due to unclarity about the shipping costs ($9.99 or free for orders over $150).

They changed 3 things in a test:

  • A new top bar with free shipping information (over AUD 150)
  • Adding shipping information to the sidebar
  • Adding ‘Spend x $ more to get free shipping’ messing above the cart.

The results were:

  • Average order value increased 26% from $110 to $139
  • The conversion rate increased 39%

The AOV increase can probably be attributed to the ‘Spend more’ message.
What would interesting for further testing is to display suggested / related products on the cart.
