Opinions expressed by Entrepreneur contributors are their own.

Online shoppers are fickle. Nearly anything can prompt them to abandon their shopping carts--sticker shock from shipping and handling fees, second thoughts about spending the money, an inkling that they can find a product cheaper elsewhere or simply a desire to sleep on it.

• Criteo
• Dotomi
• FetchBack
• Specific Media
• SteelHouse
