Magento 2 Abandoned Cart Recovery via Followup Emails

Have you ever placed a product in a online store cart without further order completion? Surely, everybody has, sometimes you just view products, add these items to cart to quickly access them, other times you get disconnected and do not return to your shopping basket, etc. The reasons might be various, but all of them lead to shopping cart abandonment.

The same may happen at your Magento 2 store anytime when a buyer adds items to cart although for some reason leaves them what can correspondingly result in dropped sale. Magento 2 cart abandonment should be effectively approached in order to reduce sale leak, increase conversions and return customers.

Store Manager for Magento has evolved a comprehensive tool for sending Magento 2 abandoned carts emails that will help you turn lost purchases into sales and remind customers about their pending orders.

To address cart abandonment you need the list of customers that have left products in the cart. This list can be quickly accessed in Abandoned Cart section of Store Manager available under Store->Shopping Cart.




You can view customer details like personal information, address, abandoned products or even check other customer purchases, since all these details are configured within this section.









Flexible filter option lets you customize the list of shoppers, Magento 2 abandoned carts emails will be delivered to by time period or by specific product. If you, for example, want to reconnect with customers, who abandoned their carts a week ago, you just need to select Last 7 days option from the filter dropdown.









2. Design Email Template

Once you retrieved the customers, you can continue with email template configuring. Choose customers in the grid and press Send E-Mail button either on the toolbar or from the context menu.









Quick E-Mail window makes it possible to customize email text and personalize reminder. First you need to select predefined Magento 2 e-mail template from Use template dropdown.
