It’s no secret that mobile commerce is growing quickly. It’s predicted that mobile devices will account for $621 billion by 2024, which is nearly half (42.9%) of all ecommerce sales.
The needs of savvy mobile shoppers are growing too. More than half (54%) of shoppers will abandon their cart if a brand asks for too much information, and 82% said they will bounce if the account registration process is too complex. So, how can brands fully leverage the mobile traffic they’re driving and reduce cart abandonment?

What are the benefits of sign in with Shop?
Increase conversion
Shoppers reach checkout already signed in. Shop Pay boosts conversions 1.91 times higher on mobile by prefilling customers’ information, including saved payment details, contact information, preferred shipping address and more.
Shoppers expect quick and easy checkout processes: two-thirds of shoppers expect checkout to be four minutes or less, and many (28%) expect checkout to happen in under two minutes. If this isn’t met, they will abandon their cart. Shop users are signed in—meaning shopper information is pre-filled and customers are ready to speed through checkout.
Meet your best customers
Shop helps brands identify high-quality Shop users and optimize or create a shopping experience for their customers.
Brands are facing lower quality leads at higher acquisition costs due to changing privacy policies and social ad spending expenses. Shop cookies are used to immediately identify more than 100 million high-value Shop users and sign them in during shopping experiences.
Re-engage customers natively on mobile
Sign in shoppers while gaining additional touchpoints and building stronger cross channel relationships through the Shop app.
Shoppers are spending more time in mobile shopping apps, as well as preferencing solutions that can offer them a personalized experience. App economics (functionality, market, maintenance, distribution) make a native app strategy unattainable for a majority of brands.
Having a mobile app strategy is an increasing need for brands looking to reach and retain their customers. The Shop app creates shoppable moments every time your customers open it, with product recommendations, hand-curated collections, and more.

2. Incentivize customers to sign up with exclusive discounts
We know that getting people to sign up with email or phone can be tough. Shoppers are naturally wary of receiving unsolicited messages in their inbox. So, how can you incentivize them to subscribe?
One powerful motivator is the allure of a good deal. If a shopper is visiting your storefront, there’s a strong chance they’re considering making a purchase. By offering a special discount for signing up to your email or phone list, you’re giving them an added incentive to take the plunge and make a purchase.

-
Update your brand image: Your circular cropped logo and cover image are the first things a potential customer sees. We suggest ensuring these images are representative of your brand and the products you offer.
Share your brand’s message: Tell new and existing customers more about your brand and products. Add details like brand description, contact information, and refund policy to improve your customer experience on the Shop app. - Merchandise your inventory with categories: Defining your product categories is a quick and easy way for Shop buyers to understand your brand’s offering and more easily navigate the store. Product categories are also a great way to drive with timeliness by adding a seasonal category for buyers to browse.
