How can I see at which exact step customers are abandoning their carts?

As a Shopify store owner, cart abandonment has been my silent revenue killer. I'm constantly watching my analytics, seeing traffic and product views, but then witnessing potential customers mysteriously vanish during checkout. It's like watching money slip through my fingers. I've invested heavily in Facebook and Instagram ads, driving quality traffic to my site, but my conversion rates remain frustratingly flat. Every abandoned cart represents not just a lost sale, but wasted ad spend and missed opportunity. I need more than just surface-level metrics—I need a forensic understanding of exactly where and why customers are dropping off. Is it shipping costs? Complex checkout? Unexpected fees? Technical glitches? The uncertainty is maddening. I'm looking for a solution that doesn't just show me a generic abandonment rate, but provides granular, step-by-step insights into my store's conversion funnel. I want to know: At which precise moment am I losing these potential customers? What specific friction points are causing them to exit? Without this knowledge, I'm essentially running my e-commerce business with a blindfold on, making guesses instead of data-driven decisions.
