Sidekick: Set Up Checkout Abandoned Cart Recovery

Help me set up checkout abandonment recovery for my Shopify store:

Store name: [YOUR STORE NAME]
Current abandonment rate: [PERCENTAGE OR UNKNOWN]
Average order value: [YOUR AOV]
Maximum discount for recovery: [PERCENTAGE OR DOLLAR AMOUNT]
Email marketing platform: [SHOPIFY EMAIL / KLAVIYO / MAILCHIMP / OTHER]

Configure checkout abandonment recovery:


  
    Shopify built-in recovery - Enable the automatic abandoned checkout email in Shopify admin. Set the timing to send [1 HOUR / 6 HOURS / 10 HOURS / 24 HOURS] after abandonment. Customize the email template with my branding.
  
  Multi-email sequence - Set up a three-email recovery sequence:
    
      Email 1 (1 hour after): Simple reminder with cart contents, no discount. Subject: “You left something behind.”
      Email 2 (24 hours after): Add social proof and urgency. Mention limited stock if applicable. Subject: “Still thinking it over?”
      Email 3 (72 hours after): Include a [DISCOUNT AMOUNT] discount code with a 48-hour expiration. Subject: “A little something to help you decide.”
    
  
  
    SMS recovery - Add an SMS notification for high-value abandoned checkouts (orders above [DOLLAR THRESHOLD]). Send one SMS 2 hours after abandonment with a direct link back to the saved checkout.
  
  
    Exit intent detection - Implement an exit intent popup on the checkout page that triggers when the customer moves their cursor toward the browser back button or close button. Offer free shipping or a small discount to complete the order.
  
  
    Recovery link - Ensure each recovery email contains a unique link that restores the exact cart contents and pre-fills any information the customer already entered.
  
  
    Segmentation - Segment recovery emails by cart value. High-value carts get more aggressive follow-up and higher discounts. Low-value carts get a simpler sequence.
  
  
    Exclusions - Exclude customers who have already completed their purchase, unsubscribed from emails, or abandoned more than 3 times in 30 days.
  
  Performance tracking - Track recovery email open rates, click rates, and recovered revenue. Set up a dashboard to monitor the recovery rate weekly.
