       | "Cart Abandonment" is one of the shopping industries hot topics,
       | even though probably half of carts "abandoned" have just been for
       | _actually finding out the price_ (after so much work has been put
       | in to disguise it through fees and shipping costs) and in
       | consumers building the cart on multiple places and multiple tries
       | before making the decision on big purchases. I alone have
       | probably made the same cart ten times on four devices (some of
       | which are intentionally in incognito mode to check for price
       | discrimination) this past week as I plan a major purchase -
       | merely $5000.
