Why small sellers lose 40% of sales at checkout (and the fix)
Most small e-commerce sellers don't have a checkout problem — they have a friction problem.
Here's what I mean: the average small seller sends a customer through 4-7 clicks before they can actually pay. Every click is a chance to lose them. On mobile? Even worse.
The math is brutal:
70% of carts get abandoned
The #1 reason? "The process was too complicated"
For sellers doing under $10k/mo, that abandoned revenue is the difference between a side hustle and a real business
What actually works:
One-tap checkout links you can text directly to buyers
No account creation walls — let people pay and go
Meet customers where they already are (DMs, texts, social) instead of forcing them to your website
This is exactly why we built Asaply. It's a checkout engine designed for sellers who want to close deals in conversations, not funnel people through landing pages.
