According to data from the Mexican Association of Online Sales (AMVO), from 2019 to 2020, digital purchases increased 81% in the country; however, from 2015 until today, the average acceptance rate in digital transactions has been 65% or lower in Mexico, on top of that, in LatAm we are experiencing 80% cart abandonment rate at the final step of the checkout.
