Recover Abandoned Carts with Emails

Retrieve abandoned carts by sending automated, personalized email messages to remind customers of the items they left behind.


Abandoned Cart recovery is a pivotal strategy in e-commerce that targets potential customers who have shown initial interest in products but have not completed their purchases. By implementing a structured approach to engage these customers
