Should I run an on-site survey asking 'What almost stopped you?'

I'm trying to optimize my e-commerce conversion rate and want to understand why potential customers might abandon their purchase. I've heard about on-site surveys that ask visitors directly about their hesitations, but I'm unsure about the best approach. Will this type of survey actually provide valuable insights, or will it just annoy my potential customers? What are the pros and cons of implementing such a direct feedback mechanism, and how can I design it to maximize response rates and actionable information?
