I check the shopping cart daily to see activity and try to see if any information is given for the potential to contact a customer, etc.
I also notice that if a customer returns and make the purchase at another time the shopping cart vanishes. I think having the information on the actual order of when it was placed in the cart to when it was purchased would give some feedback to the purchase process of customers. Do they buy on the spot, do they need time to sort information, whatever the reason.
Some of our products require pictures to be sent to us other products require nothing more then payment. Any information can help make more sales.....just my thought.
