How to Recover Abandoned Carts on WhatsApp

WhatsApp cart recovery reaches shoppers where they actually read messages. Here is how to win back checkouts that would otherwise be lost.

How it works

Step by step

1

Capture cart events

Connect your store so abandoned checkouts trigger an automation with the shopper's items and a return link.

2

Collect opt-in at checkout

Add a WhatsApp opt-in so you have permission to message shoppers about their cart and order updates.

3

Send a timely first reminder

Message within a sensible window after abandonment with a friendly nudge and a direct link back to the cart.

Features

More steps

Add a follow-up sequence

If there is no response, send one or two spaced follow-ups, optionally with help, social proof, or an incentive.

Handle replies and objections

Route replies to a bot or agent that can answer questions about shipping, sizing, or payment to close the sale.

Frequently Asked Questions

When should I send the first cart recovery message?

A reminder within the first hour or two after abandonment tends to perform well, while the cart and intent are still fresh. Test timing for your audience.

Do I need consent to send cart reminders?

Yes. Collect a WhatsApp opt-in at checkout so your reminders are compliant and welcome rather than unsolicited.
