Cart/Checkout Abandonment
Recover sales by reaching out to shoppers who have abandoned their carts or failed to complete the checkout process.
Through sending customized text messages, our goal is to reconnect with shoppers, provide them with exclusive incentives, and ultimately encourage them to finish their purchase.

Recovery Delay
: By default, the first cart & checkout recovery message is set to be sent after five minutes, and the recovery message is set to be sent after 24 hours.Subsequent Recovery Interval:
The minimum amount of time between subsequent recovery attempts, in days. The default is two days, meaning we don’t send two recovery messages to the same shopper within a 48-hour period, even if they abandoned multiple carts and checkouts.Checkout Recovery Product Image:
By default, we send the product image for the product or one of the products that the shopper abandons. If you don’t want to send the image, you can turn off this setting.

📝 Content
We conducted extensive testing to develop our template for the card and checkout recovery message. You have the option to personalize parts of these messages to align them with your brand’s tone and build more trust with your customers.
Both the message opener and message body can be customized. If you don’t customize the message opener, it will show this default, replacing “Jane” with the shopper first name and “Brand” with your brand’s name.
