In a drop shipping business, recovering an abandoned cart may seem like an impossible task, but Cartzy has made it possible & efficient for you in a separate module "Abandoned Cart Recovery." This article will help you discover straightforward steps to re-engage the customers who added items to the cart but left your store site without completing their orders. 

You can only send emails to those customers who have added their email address to the checkout page, but left without completing the order. Their email addresses are saved in the system as a lead for you to send them notifications for order completion.

    • A pop-up will appear, mentioning “Cart Recovery email sent”, along with the Date and Time when the email was sent.

Email received by the customer

Upon opening the abandoned cart recovery email, the customer can simply click the “Complete Your Order” button to revisit their cart. Here, they can make any necessary changes to finalize their order and check out.

 

 

 

Cart recovery status

After the customer has completed their order, the recovery status on the main Abandoned Cart Recovery page will be updated to “Recovered”. The status of the cart will be updated to “Recovered” on the cart details page as well. 

 

 

 

Notes:

  • The system will send the abandoned cart recovery email regardless of product availability status (in stock/ out of stock). Therefore, being an admin, you are advised to check the product availability before sending the abandoned cart recovery email, so customers can successfully place orders only for products that are in stock..
  • The abandoned cart recovery email can be sent only once against an abandoned cart. You cannot send multiple cart recovery notification emails against one abandoned cart.
