Load up your digital cart with as much merch as you can fit.
Now instead of checking out, take a little break (or a long one) and go read about the wonderful world of digital shopping cart abandonment and it’s negative effects on available inventory
According to Optimizely shopping cart abandonment is an important metric for e-commerce sites to keep track of.
A high abandonment rate could signal a poor user experience or broken sales funnel, according to the blog.

This isn’t the first prank teens on social media have pulled on Trump.
Earlier this month, TikTok users and K-pop fans proudly took credit for sabotaging the president’s rally in Tulsa, Oklahoma where a crowd of only 6,200 showed up despite more than one million tickets being reserved for the event.
