Recommended targeting options

• : Target the shopping cart or checkout pages,  only (i.e. http://ecommercesite.com/checkout/cart). If this URL is dynamic, you'll want to use a Regular Expression. You can also rephrase the question and target it to the purchase confirmation page.
• : 100% of all visitors
• : When it looks like the user is about to abandon the page
• : Only show once per visitor, or continue showing until visitor provides a response
