The problem it solves

After a sale, customers expect a quick, professional confirmation, and your team needs to know a sale happened. Doing this by hand, and remembering to reward new customers to encourage them to return, adds extra steps you don't have time for.

Who it fits

Online sellers or service businesses using a payment gateway who want polished, automatic order confirmations.

How it works

  1. A payment is successfully completed
  2. The system checks whether this is the customer's first order
  3. If it is, a unique discount coupon is automatically generated
  4. A branded confirmation email is sent to the customer, including the coupon if they qualify
  5. A detailed alert is posted to your Slack channel for your team
What you get

First-time buyers who get a personal discount instantly

Every order triggers a branded confirmation email for your customer and an instant Slack alert for your team.

What you get

A professional order confirmation email, a Slack notification for your team, and an automatic discount coupon for new customers.

What you need

An Abacate Pay account, an email sending account, and a Slack account.

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.
