The problem it solves

Shoppers add items to their cart and leave without buying, and by the time you notice, the moment to win them back has passed. Manually tracking who to follow up with, and updating your CRM every time, falls through the cracks.

Who it fits

Shopify store owners who use HubSpot and want to recover lost sales without manual follow-up.

How it works

  1. Trigger: a new checkout starts in Shopify
  2. The system checks if the cart is old and valuable enough to follow up on
  3. A reminder email is sent to the customer automatically
  4. The customer's HubSpot contact is created or updated with a note about the cart
  5. The cart details are logged to a Google Sheet for tracking
What you get

Shoppers who come back and finish checkout

Customers who leave items in their cart get a friendly reminder email and a logged follow-up in your CRM.

What you get

A follow-up email sent, an updated HubSpot contact and note, and a logged record in Google Sheets.

What you need

A Shopify store, a Gmail account, and a HubSpot CRM 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.
