For several years now, the number of online purchases during the sales has been increasing. There are also new trends such as click & collect, paying in instalments, and buying via mobile apps.

One of an e-merchant's worst enemies is abandoned shopping carts. But don't worry, it doesn't mean that these visitors can't be converted into customers.

This little extra is a great way to increase sales. Here is a selection of PrestaShop modules that will allow you to seamlessly integrate this essential feature into your site with minimal effort.
