The problem it solves

Shoppers add items to their cart and leave without buying, and you have no way to follow up unless you check manually. Those lost sales add up, and every hour that passes makes it less likely the customer comes back.

Who it fits

Shopify store owners who want to recover lost sales without manually chasing every abandoned cart.

How it works

  1. A shopping cart is abandoned in your Shopify store
  2. The system waits a set amount of time before acting
  3. A personalized email is created with the cart contents and a checkout link
  4. The email is sent to the customer to encourage them to complete their purchase
What you get

Carts that come back after they're abandoned

You get a timed, personalized email sent automatically to shoppers who abandon their Shopify cart, encouraging them back to checkout.

What you get

An automatic recovery email sent to customers who leave items in their cart.

What you need

A Shopify store and an email sending service such as Gmail or SendGrid.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
