Email customers who left items in their cart, with a one click link that puts the cart back.
Description
Paymenter clears a cart as soon as an order is completed, so a cart that is still sitting there was never checked out. Nothing reminds the customer that it is there, and nothing tells you about it either.
Abandoned Carts closes that gap. A scheduled task looks for carts that have been left alone, emails the customer a link that puts the cart back, and records what happened to every reminder you send.
What it does
- One click back to the cart: the link in the email restores the cart in the customer's browser, including on a different device and while logged out.
- An optional second reminder: a follow up a set number of hours later, with a coupon code if you want to add one.
- Carts filled before logging in: a cart someone started while logged out is attached to their account once they log in.
- Eighteen settings: waiting time before the first email, minimum cart total, how long a recovery link stays valid, when to stop reminding, and housekeeping for old carts.
- Nine placeholders: customer name, cart contents, cart total, item count, recovery link, coupon code and your store name, with markdown in both email texts.
- Four statuses in the admin: sent, link opened, recovered with the order number, and lost, listed under Abandoned carts → Reminders.
- Runs on cron:
abandonedcart:sendevery fifteen minutes. No theme changes are needed.
