Set up your Abandoned Cart Recovery Automation

Bring customers back to your store with an automated email flow when they abandon their shopping cart

Updated over a week ago

For Shopify eCommerce stores only

Before you get started

Some key details to note about the Abandoned Cart Recovery Automation:

  • The Abandoned Cart Recovery Automation is prebuilt in your Marsello app admin and contains the following steps:

    • The automation is triggered by a customer leaving the website without finalizing their purchase

    • The first email is sent 1 hour after the customer abandons their cart, prompting the customer to return and complete their order

    • If the first email does not result in a purchase, a second email is sent after an 18-hour delay and then a third email 24 hours after that

    • The automation will then finish and the customer will not receive any more emails. Please note that the automation will also stop if a customer responds to an email and completes their purchase.

For Automations currently enabled, click the edit button to the right of the Automation's name in the Automation menu. This will trigger a pop-up asking you to disable the automation to edit if currently enabled. Click Yes, disable and edit.

πŸ’‘Important: Make sure that you put a delay between emails in the flow otherwise, customers will only receive the first email due to the safe-sending period of 2 hours between receiving emails
