When you place the logos of third parties on your site, you are "borrowing" the trust they have created for yourself. Such logos include client logos, website certified logos, associations you belong to, and even the credit card company logos found on checkout pages.
Here is an interesting study on which common trust symbols are perceived as most trustworthy.

I recently went to a website to buy a new keyboard for a laptop. I found the site with the right price and delivery and put the keyboard in my cart.
When I went to checkout, the first question on the billing form was Gender.
Gender?
Why does an electronics part manufacturer need to know if I'm a man or woman?
It introduced enough doubt in my process that I left -- I abandoned my order.
The unfortunate statistic is that 86% of visitors abandon forms of all kinds. It's doubly heartbreaking when they do so in thei cart, because that costs you ready buyers.
The eleven recommendations made here will set you on a path to reduce your abandonment rates. My favorites are: 5. Use a title that explains why the user needs to sign up 6. Show them their password (who said invisible passwords was a good idea?) 12. Put errors in an obvious place and make them visible. Happy Converting!

@peeplaja offers a great post on shopping cart abandonment
In my book I say that abandonment is like cholesterol: There is a good kind and a bad kind. For each there is a strategy for reducing the impact of abandonment on your business.
Good abandoners leave because they aren't done with their shopping process. The challenge is to get them to come back and buy when they are done. There are several strategies here for retargeting the visitor who abandons using email and ads.
Bad abandoners leave because you surprised them or didn't provide the information they were looking for. This kind of abandonment can be treated by improving the checkout process and by using pricing and shipping strategies.
Abandonment is the most heartbreaking of conversion killers. it is also a fertile place to increase the performance of your website.

This means to create a distraction-free bubble when your visitor has decided to take that bold step and buy your product.
The psychological thing you're working against here is that, when asked to let go of something of value -- like our money -- we are more than happy to delay that decision.
Maybe we'll just shop a bit more. Maybe we'll check one other place for the right price.
That is why any distraction in your checkout process can be an out for a buyer, an out that they may never return from. I've seen checkout processes that have social media icons in them.
Really? Is this the right time to remind someone that they need to check Facebook?
Go buy something on your site and just look for all of the distractions you find. You might feel a bit embarrassed.
