Every Abandoned Cart Is a Conversation That Never Happened
-
Silent Loss
Most abandoned carts get one generic email, if that — and 70%+ of carts are abandoned before checkout completes
-
One-Size Follow-Up
A single templated email can't handle "it was too expensive" versus "I wasn't sure about sizing" versus "I got distracted."
-
No Real-Time Context
By the time a follow-up sends, the item may be back-ordered, price-changed, or already bought elsewhere.
How It Works
-
Abandonment detected
The agent picks up the signal from your storefront the moment a cart is left inactive past your defined window.
-
Cart and customer context pulled
Reads live inventory, price, and the customer's order history before reaching out.
-
Personalized follow-up sent
Contacts the customer on their preferred channel with the actual items left behind, not a generic template.
-
Objections handled in conversation
If the customer replies with a concern (price, shipping, fit), the agent responds directly instead of routing to a static FAQ.
-
Checkout completed or logged
Either the customer completes the purchase through a preserved cart link, or the outcome is logged to your CRM for the next follow-up cycle.

Frequently Asked Questions
A standard sequence sends the same message to everyone on a fixed delay. This agent checks live cart and inventory state before reaching out, follows up on whichever channel the customer prefers, and can hold an actual back-and-forth conversation if the customer replies with a question or objection — rather than ending at "here's 10% off."
Email, SMS, and WhatsApp, with the same cart context and conversation history shared across all three.
Yes — discount and incentive rules are configurable, including whether to offer one at all, at what abandonment stage, and up to what threshold.
Shopify, WooCommerce, Magento, and your CRM/email/SMS provider — plus 2,700+ integrations more broadly through the platform.
The actual items left in the cart, current price and stock status, and the customer's order history — not just a generic "you left something behind" template.
