What visualizations best communicate abandonment data?

As an e-commerce store owner, cart abandonment feels like watching potential revenue slip through my fingers. Every day, I see visitors meticulously browse products, add items to their cart, and then mysteriously disappear. My Google Analytics shows these drop-offs, but the raw numbers feel cold and lifeless. I need more than just percentages—I need a story, a visual narrative that helps me understand exactly where and why customers are losing interest. Are they getting stuck on shipping costs? Confused by the checkout process? Experiencing technical glitches? Traditional reports leave me guessing, and guessing is expensive in the world of online retail. I've tried various analytics tools, but most provide cluttered, overwhelming dashboards that require a data science degree to interpret. What I'm searching for is a clear, intuitive visualization that transforms complex abandonment data into actionable insights. Something that doesn't just show me the problem, but practically points to the solution. A dashboard that speaks my language—the language of growth, conversion, and bottom-line impact.
