How does price anchoring affect abandonment rates?

Mastering Price Anchoring: A Strategic Approach to Reducing Cart Abandonment

Price anchoring is more than a pricing trick—it's a sophisticated psychological strategy that directly impacts customer decision-making.

What is Price Anchoring?

• A cognitive bias where customers rely heavily on the first piece of pricing information they see
• Creates a reference point that influences perceived value of subsequent prices
• Helps customers feel they're making a rational, value-driven decision

Psychological Mechanisms

When customers see a higher 'original' price next to a discounted price, their brain registers the current offer as a significant savings opportunity.
