How the Response Time Tax works

The Research

We analyzed 558,781 Shopify stores and modeled how response time tracks with conversion. The estimate below assumes every hour a shopper waits puts a sale at risk.

The Impact

In our model, stores that answer in <5 minutes convert about 21% better than those that take 24+ hours — fewer quiet carts, and less of the same question coming back.
