What is this?

Abandoned cart recovery sends up to three WhatsApp reminders to customers who started to buy but didn’t finish. Each reminder can include a link to come back and complete the order. Just before each reminder is sent, the platform checks with your store whether the order was already paid. If it was, that reminder is skipped, so a customer who has paid never gets nagged. It works with Shopify and WooCommerce. [SCREENSHOT: abandoned-cart-tab — A connected store’s Abandoned cart tab with reminder timing and template pickers]

What can I do here?

  • Send up to 3 reminders, each with its own template and delay
  • Wait from 5 minutes to 30 days between reminders
  • Use variables that are filled in for you: customer name, the link to come back, order total, and currency
  • Add a button to a reminder (for example Check offer) that replies with your offer code
  • Turn recovery on or off any time

How to use it

1

Open the store

Go to Integrations, open Shopify or WooCommerce, and click your connected store.
2

Open the Abandoned cart tab

Read the short description, then choose your reminders.
3

Set the first reminder

Choose how long to wait (First reminder after, in minutes, hours, or days) and pick a template. If you have no templates yet, create one first.
4

Add more reminders

Click Add reminder and set Then after — the wait counted from the previous reminder. You can add up to three in total, and remove one with Remove reminder.
5

Reply to buttons (if your template has them)

A template with quick-reply buttons needs a reply for each button — for example your offer code — sent when the customer taps it. You can’t save until each button has a reply.
6

Turn it on

Click Turn on. You’ll see “Abandoned cart recovery is on.”
Use Open reminder flow to see the flow in the automation builder. To change templates or timing later, edit the flow there.

Turn it off

Click Turn off on the same tab. Reminders that were waiting to be sent are cancelled.

How it works in each store

  • Template variables are pre-filled as: 1 = customer name, 2 = link to come back, 3 = total, 4 = currency. You can change them in the flow.
  • COD orders in WooCommerce aren’t included — they use COD Confirmation.

The “Still unpaid?” check

Each reminder in the flow is preceded by a Still unpaid? step. It asks your store whether the order was already paid, right before sending: If the store can’t be reached, the reminder is still sent, so the check is never worse than having none. This step is added for you — you don’t need to place it yourself.

Troubleshooting / Technical Notes

  • Nobody gets reminders. Check recovery is turned on, the store is Connected, and a template is chosen for every reminder. Carts without a phone number can’t be reminded.
  • Reminders go out after the customer paid. The store couldn’t confirm the payment in time. Keep the first wait long enough for a normal checkout to finish.
  • WooCommerce orders are cancelled before the reminder. WooCommerce cancels unpaid orders after its Hold stock (minutes) setting (60 by default). Keep your first reminder shorter than that.
  • Shopify isn’t sending abandoned-cart messages. Confirm the store was connected with one-click, and reconnect if you see a notice about permissions.
  • You can’t save a reminder. A template with buttons needs a reply for each button.
