What is WhatsApp abandoned cart recovery?

WhatsApp abandoned cart recovery is the practice of automatically messaging shoppers who added items but didn't buy — on WhatsApp instead of (or alongside) email. Because WhatsApp messages are opened far more often than marketing emails, a timely, personal nudge with a checkout link wins back sales email simply can't.

Defuser AI connects natively to Shopify, detects dropped carts in real time, and sends a personalized WhatsApp reminder with a one-tap checkout link — all on the official WhatsApp Business API, fully compliant and no code required.
