User Journey Hijacking
Stop third-party software from harming your customer experience and improve your cart abandonment and conversion rates
What user journey hijacking and how does it operate?
The user journey is hijacked when third-party software (whether malware, a browser extension, or a mobile app) pops up during the customer’s shopping and checkout process, disrupting the e-commerce flow and attracting them to visit another site.
Companies susceptible to user journey hijacking suffer higher cart abandonment, lower conversion rates, and higher cost of conversion. As customers leave their site to shop elsewhere, customer lifetime value and brand loyalty also decreases.
