Transparency is key to reducing abandonment and maintaining a strong brand image.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"997\" data-end=\"1035\">\n<h3><strong data-start=\"1001\" data-end=\"1033\">Complicated checkout process<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1036\" data-end=\"1199\">Checkout is the most crucial step in any online purchase.

For example, if you only accept Bizum and not credit cards or wallets, many customers may hesitate.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li data-start=\"1444\" data-end=\"1492\">\n<h3><strong data-start=\"1448\" data-end=\"1490\">Security or website performance issues<\/strong><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p data-start=\"1493\" data-end=\"1679\">Customers need to feel safe when providing personal and financial data.
