I booked a little cabin for the weekend in a remote village in northern Thailand and came across this wonderful nostalgia. All the books in the cabin were computer, software, dev related – also had books on Photoshop and Illustrator CS2.
Fun to flick through but a shame I can't read Thai yet 😂

You often see people talking about how important the mobile shopping experience is for your store, and whilst this is definitely true, it's important to not ignore the desktop experience!
We found that whilst 72% of orders are now placed on mobile devices, those who check out on desktop, spend on average 2.3x as much (AOV of $71 for mobile vs $167 for desktop).
People are researching on mobile, and for many smaller purchases, checking out too, but there's still a very real effect of people placing larger orders, or buying more expensive items on their desktop computer.
Interestingly different countries seem to have very different breakdowns too. For example in the US, the split is much more even. Mobile at 56% and desktop at 44%.
Maybe I'm just getting old, but I know this is definitely true for me. The idea of making a large purchase on my phone is such a foreign concept.
I'm keen to hear if you've found this to be true for your store (and what industry you're in)?
We track cart data across a decent slice of the Woo ecosystem, and as part of a larger report, we ran the number on Abandoned Carts, specifically for WooCommerce stores, and found some really interesting stats.
Across all 6,000+ stores, the average WooCommerce store sees 21% of their carts started are then abandoned.
It moves around a lot by industry though:
The part that surprised us the most though: abandoned carts are worth more than completed ones, and recovered carts even more so:
Larger baskets seem to carry more hesitation; shipping cost, total sticker shock, deliberation, checking with your partner. It's a little counterintuitive or perhaps counter-popular-narrative, since a lot of people treat recovery as scraping back small lost orders when it's often the opposite.
Also interesting is the change YoY:

Disclosure: I work at Metorik.
It would be really cool to be able to show some post-it note or stickies on the mac lock screen.
Obviously you wouldn't want to put anything private there, however for general reminders that you see before you unlock your mac and get distracted, this would be the ideal place.
I found in Settings that you can add a lock screen message, however this is tiny and limited.
Has anyone found a way to do this, or is it even possible?
Thanks in advance!
