SHOPPER FOLLOW-UP · Workflow idea

Make it easy to revisit a cart without making a shopper feel chased.

For shoppers who may appropriately receive a reminder, check whether an unfinished cart became an order and prepare a brief message with the items and a direct return link. Verify the latest purchase status, contact preferences, prices, and availability; limit the personal details included; and require an owner to approve the recipients, wording, and timing before messages are sent.

Keep in mind

A delayed order update or shared device can make an abandoned cart appear eligible when it is not. Check for a completed purchase immediately before sending, follow consent and unsubscribe rules, limit message frequency, and keep any checkout link private to its intended recipient.
