Recover Lost Sales with Abandoned Checkout Emails
A well-timed follow-up email can bring back a meaningful share of shoppers who left without finishing checkout.
How it works
An automatic follow-up email links straight back to their checkout with items still in the cart — works across devices, shows current prices, flags anything now out of stock.
Turning it on
- Go to Payments > Settings > Notifications.
- Toggle on Enable Abandoned Cart Emails.
- Choose the email template.
- Write a subject line.
- Set the send delay — default 10 hours.
Customizing the email
Build a custom version in Marketing > Emails > Templates, using {{ ecom_checkout_page_url }} and a Shopping Cart element to show abandoned items.
Limitations worth knowing
Only one email per abandonment, no multi-touch sequence. Only applies to store checkouts, not funnel/website order forms.
Reviewing abandoned checkouts directly
See Manage and Export Abandoned Checkouts for the raw list.
