What KPIs should be in my monthly abandonment report?

Every month, I find myself staring at our store's analytics, feeling frustrated. We're driving decent traffic through Meta ads, but something's broken in our conversion funnel. Visitors are adding products to cart, but they're ghosting us before completing purchase. It's like watching potential revenue evaporate. I know cart abandonment is a universal e-commerce challenge, but for my brand, it feels personal. Each abandoned cart represents not just a lost sale, but a missed connection with a potential customer. I've tried generic pop-ups and basic discount strategies, but they feel scattered and ineffective. What I really need is a systematic way to understand WHY people are leaving and HOW to intelligently re-engage them. I want a report that doesn't just show me numbers, but gives me actionable insights. I'm looking for metrics that tell a story—not just how many carts were abandoned, but the context around those abandonments. Are people dropping off on mobile? Are certain product categories more prone to abandonment? Are our checkout processes creating friction? I need a comprehensive view that helps me diagnose the problem and craft targeted solutions that feel personalized, not pushy.
