Abandoned Cart Recovery

Abandoned cart recovery is the practice of messaging shoppers who added items to their cart but left without buying, to encourage them to complete the purchase.

Definition

Most online carts are never checked out. Abandoned cart recovery sends a timely reminder, often with the product image and a direct link back to the cart, to win back some of that lost revenue.

On WhatsApp, the reminder is delivered as a message template to an opted-in shopper. Open and reply rates are typically far higher than email, which makes WhatsApp a strong recovery channel.

Recovery flows usually run as an automated sequence: a first reminder shortly after abandonment, then a follow-up, sometimes with an incentive. Kanal automates these flows for Shopify stores end to end.
