1. First stage: When a cart gets abandoned by the customer, it will not be recorded to take some action to avoid this.
2. Second stage: If the abandoned cart is not logged in then, there is no way we can send him reminder emails to recover sales.
3. Third stage: None of the details of the customers is saved for manual follow-ups. Hence that also cannot be performed to recover lost sale.
4. Fourth stage: Because reminder emails cannot be sent, there is no way we can persuade the customer to come and complete their purchase by proving discount codes etc.
5. Fifth stage: Just because no abandoned cart reminder emails are sent to the customer, the only way to retrieve this sale will be next time when at all the customer comes back to the website remembering he had left something in the cart and not bought.

Therefore the online merchant has to wait until the customer himself comes to the site to complete the transaction which results in lost sales. This in turn affects the growth of online business and becomes the most common reason for online shop owners to eventually close their online business rather than bearing the loss.
