For many retailers, the order confirmation page is not as important in the purchase journey as product discovery, upselling or even the login page. In fact, in a July 2018 survey by ecommerce marketing company Rokt, which polled 58 US retailers, just 2% said the order confirmation page was significant.
When asked how they're using the page, some said for internal offers, like getting consumers to join their loyalty program, sign up for their newsletters or download their app. Others said they use it to get shoppers to fill out surveys or reviews.
But for the most part, retailers aren't using these opportunities that much. And there are some that aren't using it at all. That's likely because many are limited to the resources they have on hand, as well as the time and energy it may take to build a more engaged post-purchase experience.
