There are now more than 100m smartphone owners in the US according to comScore, which accounts for one in every three Americans.

Almost half (48%) of those smartphones use Android, so it’s important that retailers are able to offer a mobile checkout that caters to this market.

Above all else mobile shoppers want simplicity and speed, so checkout processes need to be a frictionless as possible.

The survey was carried out in May and June 2012 with each site allocated a percentage score that refers to the weighted average, where if all surveyors gave the top score the result would be 100%.
