What does our Shopify App do?

Automated Abandoned Cart Notifications

  • Automated Abandoned Cart checkouts are enabled by default after our app has been installed. To customize its settings, head to Automation > Shopify.
  • Since these are one-to-one personalized messages, you can also include your customer's first name, last name as well as the total number of items in their cart.

  • Here are the different attributes you can use within your notifications:
    {{total_items}} - This will be substituted with the total items in the cart of your customer.
    {{first_name}} - This will be substituted by the first name of the customer and it can be combined with the last name.
    {{last_name}} - Substituted by the last name.
  • You can use any combination of the above three attributes in the title or message of your notifications.
  • Delay: Here you need to specify after how many minutes of the cart being abandoned, should the notification be sent. By default it is set at 45 minutes but you can lower it to a minimum of 15 minutes.
  • This notification will be sent to all devices of the customer from which they have subscribed for notifications. This increases the chances of your notification being seen.
