Thanks for the info. I agree with Pat that it also helped a little after switching to 1-page checkout. I also agree that the availability of other built-in options will be a big plus.

I found that switching to the new checkout manager, which allowed me to put the billing and shipping adress info all on one page during checkout, helped a bit on the abandonment. However I do wish we had more “built in” options besides just the UPS tables, other than creating our own. It would really help if they allowed USPS built in tables for Priority Mail for example – I mean, even EBAY has that

Shopping cart abandonment is a HUGE concern for every online business. I really want to convert potential buyers and have very few reasons for them to leave my site before doing so. I have a Yahoo! store and love all of the built-in features provided. However, as a Merchant Standard user who has NOT yet converted to the “just out of Beta” check-out manager, I do not have the ability to remove the coupon/gift certificate box. I feel that this box, when not in use, might send a potential customer off looking for a coupon somewhere on the web to use in my store. What if they get distracted on the web by the latest picture of some hot celebrity and forget that they were placing an order with me for home decor?! I am willing to take gift certificates off of my site because I sell SO few. If I have no current coupons, why can’t I remove this field?? Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
