CUSTOMER FOLLOW-UP · Workflow idea

Help shoppers return to a cart with respectful reminders and clear opt-out choices.

For an online store with an appropriate contact basis, identify eligible unfinished carts and prepare a limited reminder sequence with accurate product details. Check whether the shopper has since purchased, honor consent, unsubscribe, and contact-frequency preferences, secure any personal or discount information, and require approval of message timing, offer terms, and recipients before sending.

Keep in mind

An abandoned cart may reflect a deliberate choice, a completed purchase not yet recorded, or a shared device.
