Free shipping
When I got home this evening and looking through my stats on my knitting website I could see that some had viewed the website, added something to the cart, went to few other pages, then went to check out. Once at checkout, they stop there for a few moments then left the website. It’s amazing what you can do with software.
Well, I was a little puzzled to why they didn’t check out so I went to investigate to why they didn’t. Opened in different browsers and added something to the cart and went to the checkout and saw the problem. The shipping was wrong on the international part of my website, it was way too high. I hadn't set it right.
So I’ve decided on “Free Shipping” for now and who doesn’t like free shipping?

Me too, it may have not been that, I don't know, seemed a little strange they stayed for a minute or two, maybe thinking is it really worth the shipping.

@kevin1877uk yeah, when the shipping is too high, most people would stay away from buying.

@kevin1877uk Yeah that is true. But you could always offer the free shipping and just add a few dollars to the price of the item.
