Checkout Conversion Optimization: Reducing Abandonment and Recovering $1.2M in Revenue

A subscription service had a leaky checkout funnel with 70% cart abandonment. We re-engineered the checkout flow with a simplified, single-page UI, implemented A/B testing frameworks, and optimized data validation. This reduced the overall cart abandonment rate to 45% and recovered over $1.2 million in annual projected revenue.

The Challenge: Leaky Checkout Funnel

The client’s subscription checkout was generating significant cart abandonment, particularly on mobile. The multi-step flow, confusing validation, and slow page transitions led to user drop-off before completing payment.

DevoxLabs' Checkout Optimization

We focused on simplifying the experience and enabling rapid experimentation:

Single-Page Checkout: Replaced a multi-step wizard with a streamlined, mobile-first single-page checkout that reduced friction.

Instrumentation & A/B Testing: Added granular event tracking and introduced an experimentation framework so marketing could launch tests without engineering support.

Performance & Validation: Optimized client-side validation, reduced blocking scripts, and improved perceived performance through micro-interactions.
